The Flame Lit By Pain

Terry Salmon

2 min read

From the moment I was born I was destined to die,

Childhood wrapped in thorns poking holes in my life,

A shadow in a storm only seen through flashes of light,

Everywhere I looked love transformed from nightmares in the day that kept me up all night,

A cold soul searching for warmth still I fight with all my might,

Scratch the walls till my fingers bled into the words that write these verses from m...

The Ghost Of A Widow

Terry Salmon

1 min read

In the cemetery at night, rests a lonely widow,

Surrounded by the light, bathed in the moons glow,

Since the moment she died, she’s been detached from the flow,

She holds on an undead bride, filled with nothing but sorrow,

Eternally she sits and cries, of the happiness that death stole,

She bows her head in sighs, as her mind spins out of control.


Is this the beginning of an end, a beautiful life...

The Woman In White

Terry Salmon

1 min read

I walk the streets in fright,

From what hides behind the light.

Keeps me awake every night,

Rain, Sun, Snow, or Shine.

Half the world comes alive,

As the devils playground takes flight.


Shadows crawl and turn into birds,

Fly into my mouth as I choke on my words.

Light fades while energies surge,

Flapping wings of no self worth.

Drowning my soul in a black pool,

Each flitting bird, a haunting ghou...

The Feathered Shadows

I walk the streets in fright,


From what hides behind the light.


Keeps me awake every night,


Rain, Sun, Snow, or Shine.


Half the world comes alive,


As the devils playground takes flight.




Shadows crawl and turn into birds,


Fly into my mouth as I choke on my words.


Light fades while energies surge,


Flapping wings of no self worth.


Drowning my soul in a black pool,


Each flitting bird, a h...

Some Days

Terry Salmon

6 min read

Some days I’m okay, but most of the time I feel like a waste,

A worthless person, only good for taking up space.

Every morning, I look in the mirror and stare at my face,

As all the good drains away, replaced with disgrace.

Just a bag of bones that poisons others’ days,

They say it’s not true, that I’m wonderful in so many ways,

Yet those words feel like lies that bleed through my vein...

Midnight Whispers Of Meadows Dreams

Terry Salmon

3 min read

As the moon shines illuminating the night,

The earth glows from the ephemeral light,

The delicate flowers reach for the sky,

Standing tall in their angelic rise,

As they open their hearts and continue to guide,

Us on our way in their softest of might,

Like lanterns of love from the ground of starlight,

In the vespertine dreams, where wild flowers roam!

I found my place in fields of...

Mindfulness and Remembrance

Terry Salmon

2 min read

Sitting here in the hot summer heat,

As shade and light dance on the trees,

The symphony of birdsong calls to me,

A sound so divine it’s beyond complete,


Beauty abound in the blue skies that surround,

For all that is lost in our thoughts can be found,

In the backdrop of greenery, in nature unbound,

As miracles enter our hearts in unlimited amounts,


As the trees sway in a delicate display,

House or Home??

Terry Salmon

2 min read

What the difference between a house or a home?

A house you can live with others yet you’re forever alone,

A home is a place of love which honors your soul,

When a house breaks you down never to be whole,

Four walls and a ceiling built upon a hidden hole,

Where the landlord is a Devil always on patrol,

Breaking you mentally taking away your power of control,

Leaving you to live a life infected with...

Divine Feline

Terry Salmon

2 min read

I sit and stare at an empty page,

Feels like forever in an intangible phase,

Words get lost in my head for days,

Blank spaces before me look like an impossible maze,

Full of twists and turns that lead to mirrors that betray,

I can’t find a way to get through this block that’s replaced.


This space of creative thought that’s now a black hole,

Takes my ideas chew them up and swallows them whole,

Unbreakable

Terry Salmon

1 min read

We are born in the darkness,

The remnants of fallen stardust,

Darkness is the mother in which we can trust,

That no matter how many tears we shed, we know we will not rust.


Sitting in the shadows our heart ablaze,

Lighting up the nights in endless ways,

Through pain and pleasure we rise with unbelievable grace,

As the hard and soft must both be embraced.


Reflected impossibilities of the light i...
