You put me up
To cover this place
My color you chose
To show good taste
I hang around
For the smile on your face
But then i’m abandoned
To decay like waste
I fall to the floor

You loved me no more

Anger’s swell

© 2008 Donald Pierce

The blood is boiling
A terrific storm
On a clear sunny day
It comes without warn
I stand aside
And hope quell
The rising tide
Of anger’s swell

To a dear Friend

© 2008 Donald Pierce

I follow blood shot eyes
Deep within your soul.
Beneath a decaying brain
Through smokers lungs
Passed a broken heart
And out a poisoned liver.

I took the path you chose,
That of drugs and sin.
But only to view the art
Inside the gallery.
That is Your body’s tragedy.

Whos responsible

© 2008 Donald Pierce

You brought on this life
Filled with pain and despair
You brought on this life
When you lied to those who cared
You brought on this life
Of anger and of rage
You brought on this life
You’re the star it’s your stage

Brown

© 2008 Donald Pierce

I live for each hug
And die for each kiss
I breathe for the smell
And long for the touch

But yet,

When alone

I sit and question
What I truly miss
It’s not these ties
But her deep brown eyes.

From mouth to pen to paper

© 2008 Donald Pierce

I tend to write
What i dare not speak
A trail of pen
My mouths only leak

I can write onto paper
With no regret
The words I once whispered
And hoped to forget
