Let me tell you a story of a life I lived, where mercy found me and gave me a gift
I was on a rough journey with no hope in sight, my life had no meaning only darkness, no light
Then one cold December with nowhere to go, I found myself walking... – by Barry W Smith | 52 Views added 2 months ago

If war was only words fought in the dark of night
Then the pain would go away in the morning light
But the strength of the battle is in the lack of respect
And a cut from the tongue leaves a lasting effect
Of all the world's weapons as... – by Barry W Smith | 395 Views added 11 months ago

I sit through the storm
With coffee in hand
Thinking of life
And all I had planned
Long were the hours
I worked this farm hard
Now counting the cost
As my fields are all scarred
The hopes that was there
Now lost in a night
The... – by Barry W Smith | 373 Views added 1 year ago

One foot in front of the other
With a leash upon my head
This woman that now leads me
Apparently wants me dead
I haven't had such anguish
Since I was just a pup
So if she's going to kill me
I'd had rather not got up
Has this woman never... – by Barry W Smith | 33 Views added 1 year ago

I gather words out of the air
Like leafs blowning in the wind
And put them in their rightful place
To make poems read by men
My ideas are my own to own
As I write them in their place
But eyes that read and take them in
Form their own... – by Barry W Smith | 251 Views added 1 year ago

At winter solstice with Capricorn close
The sun is hidden on the northernmost
It's a time to rest and a time to reflect
It's a gift received when we reconnect
Vernal equinox, when night matches day
Flowers bloom for insects to play
All seems... – by Barry W Smith | 230 Views added 1 year ago

If I could love, but for a thousand days more,
I would spend them all on you.
If I could see but for a hundred days more,
I would hold you in my sight day and night.
If I could feel touch, but for ten days more,
I would lay in your arms through... – by Barry W Smith | 138 Views added 1 year ago

Time has no throttle
It plows the same through sun or snow
The longer we live, it seems faster
But never, was it slow
Our memories deceive us
Thinking we had more time back then
But the pages of our life turn constant
Not scattered in the... – by Barry W Smith | 250 Views added 1 year ago

The time has come
I do regret
That words I spoke
I did not vet
If I could eat
The words I've said
I would eat and eat
Until they're dead
I'd have a meal
Of all I spoke
I'd cram them down
And try not to choke
The memories of them

Walk through fields of grass yet to die
Under mountains that rise into the sky
Swim in glass lakes that are frozen in time
This world created by the builder divine
Night stars shining like crystal lights
As placed by fingers, each one just... – by Barry W Smith | 308 Views added 1 year ago
