Jon M. Nelson Poems

As we journey through our lives,
We all take separate paths.
Sometimes they're filled with sorrow,
Other times they're full of laughs.
...

Once again, it's that time of year,
When the world should be full of cheer.
This is the time for peace and love,
As the angels watch from up above.
...

You can't expect me to be something I'm not,
This is who I am and this is what you've got.
I won't pretend to be someone else's dream,
So that I can help with your self-esteem.
...

The midnight creatures begin to howl,
As I see the shadows on the prowl.
The darkness surrounds me like a cloud,
As my inner soul screams out loud.
...

The tortured screams echo
From the endless abyss below.
From the wretched souls the ashes rise,
And disperse into the amber skies.
...

I've been out here driving all day,
Just heading down this lost highway.
I know now that I can never halt,
As I'm hypnotized by the asphalt.
...

Too many people have forgotten the reason,
That we should celebrate this season.
It's supposed to be a time of peace on Earth,
And to rejoice and remember a holy birth.
...

It's nearly impossible to face reality,
As you cross the bridge to insanity.
When you head out into the unknown,
It's a journey that you must take alone.
...

So far away yet so close to my heart,
Why must we be so far apart?
When I think of you it brightens my day,
Even though you're so far away.
...

Love is that little spark in your eye,
That makes you so happy you want to cry.

Love is that skip in the beat of your heart,
...
