Tim Vallie Poems

Your biggest mistake
Was believing her when she said “I can’t replace you”
Your heart aches
Because you gave it to her believing she’d embrace you
...

I do not sleep
For fear of dreaming
Silence kept
In darkness deep
...

With icy hands he descends upon us
With winter eyes he stares
With a heart so cold, breath a winter gust
Towards us now he bears
...

Many nights I've drifted by
Upon a ship of dreams
In search it seems
Of Odin's eye
...

The drums surround us

BOOM
BOOM
...

Here upon the bloody hill
Where many of us fell
Here lay many bodies still
Of we who died so well
...

I surrender now to sweet sleep
My eyes finally may close
I surrender to the dark deep
What I dream of no one knows
...

Another year, another waste of time
Another tear, shed for another crime
Another death, another life thrown away
Another breath, wasted in another way
...

A rose by any other name
Would still as red as the blood in our veins
A pawn in any other game
Still may be sacrificed, all in vain
...
