New Poem: “feelings defy description”

New Poem: “faults reflected -“

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

nothing hurts more than seeing your own faults filtered through another person – your own wants projected on another – your own thoughts completely skewed when uttered by another – where find mooring? there’s one place only for that – […]

New Poem: “unheard un-word for things indescribable”

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

unheard un-word for things indescribable yet undeniable – dripping down on you through holes in your understanding, demanding attention – attention granted, understanding wanted still – words want creation to describe that which we cannot understand which is at hand […]

New Poem: “writing madly, desperately”

New Poem: “drunk thoughts in the dead of the night -“

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

sleep eludes me – night’s no pleasantry – night holds dangers to the mind that can be avoided during the day – night brings things to light that are better left in shadow – three o’clock, morning light creeps through […]

New Poem: “tripping over world”

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

New Poem: “where is my father?”

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

New Poem: “trinity: a family”

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

one: light spilling through the golden curtains into prison living room – of choice – the playing cards placed carefully, dirty, torn and used – clock ticking off a time unknown within – a person brooding over memories – not […]

New Poem: “thank you? -“

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

world – self-worth stolen – where find? – mind my own business? – thank you? – silence tears apart what would bind – words not heard – dreams stolen – future gone – just carry on? – thank you? –
