Thunder

~ Frank Solanki ~ 17 Comments

Thunder

Let it thunder for a while

Let it drown the noise inside

Wonder

Raise myself and wonder

Let it cover the holes inside

When I’m alone I feel at home

The darkness of the day

I long for when it’s gone

…

Save me

Save me from myself

As I seek to run and hide

Have me

Have me warned again

No more stories for me to hide

With those claws they come at me

I’m standing so confused

In a moment we’ll be clear

As I shake hands with Truth

…

Foxes

Hungry foxes and wolves

All I have for company

Traitors

Traitors of the soul

Betray my friends and family

The bright eyes in the dark

Chill me down to the bone

To consume and exploit my fears

I wish that you were here

Wish you were here

In My Dreams I See A Man

In my dreams I see a man

When I wake he’s not seen again

Am I what you see or seem?

Am I nothing more than someone’s dream?

I Drew A Bird And It Came To Life

~ Frank Solanki ~ 113 Comments

I drew a bird and it came to life
I got excited and told my wife
She didn’t believe a single word
For there wasn’t any sign of the bird
The window was open. She must have flown away
To cause my heart enormous dismay
So just to prove that I was true
I told her, “I’d draw again for you.”
She stopped my hand and told me, “Wait.”
“Why don’t you draw a piece of chocolate?”

Sleep Has Deserted Me

~ Frank Solanki ~ 60 Comments

Sleep has deserted me
Tiredness lies on the bed
Nightmare is the pillow
On which I lay my head
Demons sing a lullaby
Dreams are unclear
Every night is a struggle
Wish you were here
