Between Worlds: a poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

Time stands still

Time fly’s by

Time is yours beyond all time

Doorways open and close
Close and then open
Death fallows behind step for step

Victorian dreams at there end
To see the overly morel world that has long past

Truly this is were it all begins

Begins this story

Begins this wonder

Begins the clocks of time

And the pendulum swings

With the bell ringing
All for you

The Ramblings of a Dreamer: a spoken word poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

Image
A new spoken word poem I have uploaded on my Youtube account under the name "riverboatsong" thanks and if you can I hope you enjoy it. "The Ramblings of a Dreamer" My ramblings seem to fade on paper and the lines seem to get thinner between each thought I have. Oh just another note-book of daydreams that will sit in my closet forever. Just another poem that will never be read by another’s eyes; the ink that powers my fairy tale dreams appear to run out from time to time. Maybe just maybe it is my heart that is dying out and not my mind. If I have no heart when I scribble a rhyme or two I will lose color and fade away as easy as you the one who has no dreams at all.

The Arc: a poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

Word count: 147 Views: 14 (I know this is a bit dark but I like to mix things up once in a while with a little darkness put in my poems) I am the arc I am the spark I am the power grid that feeds your hate. The flame that burns your love, the heat that dissipates the very breath you take; the fear that breeds your tears and poles the teeth from your smile. Glowing eyes I have none, horns and a tale I am not a trick or a treat; I am your failure. I am deep down inside you, the part of you that you won’t let out; the parts of you that you can’t let go or forget about. But I am here, I am always here and I am waiting for you to let me free.

Honest John (Bio Style): a poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

"Honest John" (Bio Style) Yes I some times speak the truth even though no one wants to hear it. Some people say look there goes honest John; I hope he keeps walking on. Some say there is a young helpful chap he will help me in a snap; he’s not good with a map but he will keep you out of a trap. Some clap there hands in joy after I speak, while others there hands turn in to fists and I wish I would not have said a peep. Honest John I am, that’s the way I am; no sham, no scam and you get the real me for who I am. My words short or long, sharp or sweet, rimed or disorganized, it’s all discreet I assure you of that a pat on the shoulder a tip of the cap is all I ask for like a treat. Yes I some times speak out of turn but that’s because I know I am right; it some times gets others wanting to fight. So lets agree to disagree and we can leave it at that and I can give you a charming wink of the eye a snap of the fingers with a cheesy smile and say see that’s how I handle tha...
