Her voice cries out to me
Spare me I plea
but I am in love and
love makes fools of men
By the goddess send me to her
no she is a goddess
my princess who has saved me

A Bitter Lover
By Damien Knight
you gave me passion, fed me lies
kisses were confused for affection
but it was all misdirection
and you the lord of demise
You tried to reap my love, dear
but you only bred passionate despite
you wanted a bedfellow instead I’m a knight
and I won’t cave to fear
year after year I try to let go
but the bitterness toward you grows
and one day I will be truly free
and forget all these fucked up memories
Research Paper
By Damien Knight
I stare at the paper eager to write
all my notes sitting before me
I put up my dukes ready to fight
but no muscles and a blank memory
I keep reorganizing typing and deleting
Ten pages of research are you serious!
Typing so much my hands sting
all this writing makes me delirious
Will the result be worth it
or ten pages of hot garbage
hey if I can get a degree in bull shit
I guess I’ll give them this verbal carnage
Despairing World
By Damien Knight
The world is twisted, crying mass
loud and screaming violent place
peace and love seems to pass
and kindness blind from the human race
the blood of innocents
on the hands of angry men
leave behind hated prints
of the ultimate sin
The sin of bigotry and hate
a crime of the uncivilised
I hope we leave such a state
a world where none are victimized
Above the Trees
By Damien Knight
the soft sway of the waterfall
dripping down the limestone cliffs
Melting away all those solid walls
of doubt and what ifs
Gazing from under the water
out over all of the trees
up here I do not falter
Above the world I feel free
The Climb
By Damien Knight
I stood eager at the foot of the mountain
looking up gear on my back
fear in my heart, rope in hand, I climb
hope the summit would be surmounted
I fight every rock along the path
every boulder smashed, every cliff I scale
I will climb this just as I do every story I tell
I won’t be held back by worry
At the top a man can look below at earth
He can see his dreams, the accomplishments
Every obstacle now so small
This trial shows a man his ultimate worth
Ann
By Damien Knight
I dreamt of you wishing for your heart dear
But you denied me my soul desire
being elusive with a gaze austere
I climb mountains for you going higher
Kept out of reach of your love like a drought
I yearned desperately to find beauty
I loved you most when we along side fought
Hard battles of the past was our duty
Now I whisper your name like a prayer
Where did you go was it a fever dream
Did I not deserve such a beauty fair?
A woman the people hold high esteem
I will not rest until I found my Ann
Hold her close and forever be her man
