“Ascend” I wish to stand upon a mountaintop!.. The highest perch resting between the earthly world beneath me, and the vast cosmic expanse far above. To bring manifest all that I am, all that I have achieved, and all that I have strived for yet failed to secure. Along with both the conscious, and unconscious … More “Ascend” a poem by Westley Nash
“Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger. Travel too far along that road and the way is soon lost!” – Terry Brooks (paraphrased) “DEAD SPACE” There is a dead space inside my soul.With all feelings frozen by a darkness cold. A starless void to where my light descends,where emotions die and their memories end. Nothing … More “Dead Space” a dark poem by Westley Nash
“HEART STRUCK NUMB” (I can’t write like I used to…) I cannot write like I used to, since my heart struck numb. Suffered such grief that it’s lost it’s tongue! No desire for it to speak, no urge to outwardly express. Forever keeping to itself and concealing the distress. Tired and exhausted, the passion quickly … More “Heart Struck Numb” (I can’t write like I used to…) by Westley Nash
Running on the Edge (is this the end?..) Running on the edge!.. Never knowing if I’ll fall to my death.

I can’t see … More “Running on the Edge” (is this the end?..) a poem by Westley Nash
“What is it to sleep?.. Not just to close ones eyes in darkness but to be completely at rest. To know a peace the waking world forever seems to deny me. To let my mind take sanctuary in a virtual hibernation, safely shielded from the growing stress that invades deep into my subconscious thoughts and … More “Sleep / Awake” a poem by Westley Nash
There are people that I used to know very well that I rarely ever see now. It’s not that we are no longer friends, we just aren’t quite so relevant to each other anymore. Each of our lives have changed so much, as have our priorities and so the daily connection that we used to … More “People I Used To Know” – (a short poem about growing apart)
“Empty hollows echo the silence of hearts left broken. The urge to repair bleeds out from wounds cleaved deeply by the swords of an apathetic resistance massing on the field of battle, where all impetus of emotion is swiftly suppressed. Of course, such wars they unleash daily! But by the gods great mercy always safely … More “Maelstrom” (the emotional storm awakes…)
“It’s been so long since our brief eternity passed from wonderland. A growing age away I find myself asking if it were merely a dream sat paling in a wishful mind. A fond fairytale where (for a short while at least) I could be the one you needed. But as I look upon you now, … More “Nomad” (our ending was your beginning…)
When someone we love very dearly passes from our lives the chaotic emotions created by their loss can leave us feeling deeply troubled. We can even fear that our entire world has passed along with them. I don’t know what your own personal beliefs are about this, for everyone is different and I would be … More “Legacy of Light” (still shining long after they are gone)
