Reaper


I don't understand you,
All the irrational choices,
They plague you,
Yet you cling to them as if they are a life raft.

All they do,
Is drag you down,
You are drowning,
Almost under,
You cling on,

Deep breath,
No return,
Not for you,
Not this time.

The reaper holds you,
In the palm of her hand,
You snuggle closer,
Oblivious to the ride.

21st Century

A twenty first century kind of love Thrown about Filled with mistrust Often tossed in the dust Copyright © 2017 MKAC Nevin-CrooksLove Life Poetry21st July 2017

Mommy Loves You

The love I feel for you all, Will never run out, So never despair, It is in my heart, Distilled especially for you, True love, Beyond compare, No need to share, There is enough already there. You have all heard my heart beat from in there, Oh how I love you and your beautiful stares, Mommy loves you, Know that love shall never fail.

Scotch Tape

Our hearts are no longer kept on our sleeves, Those have all disappeared. Now we have taped our heart back together again, Scotch tape stuck best, What is left? We are a crumbly mess. Every morning we stare in the mirror, Hate what we see, But what should we be doing in reality? Applauding, Celebrating, We have survived, We are still alive, Fuck me! We are warriors of the toughest kind. © 2019 MK AC Nevin-Crooks Love Life Poetry
