The Curse of Hope

Posted by Rob Salem on 14 January 2018

Hope is insidious in its waning,
lingering sweet like a sin,
an unspoken prayer
that betrays reason
in defiance of looming inevitability
while offering nothing more
than a lengthening of the hours
of a lonely vigil.

Deal Gone Right

Posted by Rob Salem on 13 May 2016
I sold
your picture
today.
 
It only cost
the Devil
my soul.

abstraction

Posted by Rob Salem on 22 July 2015

love has no leave
we fly down in velvet dreams
and thirst with the sky under brilliant song
living out of wild bodied trees

The Journey

Posted by Rob Salem on 17 July 2015

I refuse to let death be my life,
for it is the only one that I have;
I’ll not worry about the end of my path,
it will come soon enough,
and getting there is the fun part.

nostalgia

Posted by Rob Salem on 31 May 2015

right now

is passing me by

because I’m stuck in yesterday

waiting for a word never uttered

and a future that cannot be
