Kevin Carney Poems

Eyes look through the mirror…
Conscious is the brain.
No more illusions…
The reality of life wins out…
...

I look at the blank sheet of paper…
Staring deep into the pure white.
I went to write the words,
which needed to be said.
...

Please excuse my absence…
So quiet I have been…
Sorry for the lack of words…
It was something I just had to do.
...

The thunder and lightning…
Flashes illuminating the dark of the night…
Rumbles of the thunder shattering the solace of the darkness.
Eyes wide open, listening…
...

Miss Blue, look at you…
Sitting there looking out into the blue of night.
Out that window with that blank blue stare.
Pensive, it’s written on your face.
...

Apple pie…
Watermelon…
The Fourth of July.
America....
...

A candle sits and flickers on the old table.
Light and shadows dance about…
Untamed,
the hues come and go,
...

My faith has been rocked…
Don’t see what became of me.
I looked into the faith of mankind…
It seems it was all a pipe dream.
...

Don’t do it…
Too young you are…
Marriage…
To who,
...

I never lied or tried to deceive you…
It was such a horrible spot you put me in.
I don’t think you really believe,
what you mean to me.
...
