• • BLACK LION —————— Lust after What we Can’t have; Give me yours, I’ll give you mine; Regret owns The space we’re in; We owe her a death, He owes a forgiveness; The slow toes, The after. • • • • #portcreditpoet #nowthehere #love #trust #poetry #poetrycommunity #blacklionpoetry #toronto (at Old Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxdX41_FDSl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j01xr9n4fgef

• • BLACK LION —————— Hope in the fear That we won’t disappear After clicking off The i we walk with; Hopeful as it helps us feel, We’re afraid without it. ~ ~ Helicopter hovers overhead; Lights relentlessly analyzing All the sufferings of our kids, As if no capability in-and-of themselves to handle it; Danger approaches, Or do they approach it? Thumping blades Chastise mistakes, Hoping to carry away their fear, We simply scare them. ~ ~ Sirens scream the alarm We feel in our hearts If we pay attention; That tingling numbness Of desperation, That Primal urge Of self-preservation: i Cling to it Ad if it were me. ~ ~ ~ Fact of life: We all need to die. But our hope is our fear, That we won’t disappear, That we’ll live forever, Hopefully. • • • • #nowthehere #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetrytoronto #understandtrees #portcreditpoet #toronto #fear #terror #helicopterparenting #senseless #bebrave #love #trust (at Port Credit GO Station) https://www.instagram.com/mitchellantonmaceachern/p/BxcghUaFBJK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15spzybnp9eou

- - BLACK LION - - Dawn of Death, Name ringing, Unfamiliar space between letters: Silence. ~ ~ ~ Crying hyena laughs, Beckoning truth; Hunt delayed, Camouflage birds Absurd reminders, Inverted morals: Upside-down attempts to unfurl sails left him Broken Soaking Cold Hoping. ~ ~ ~ No land... No heat... Lightning stings the blackness, Sizzling grease upon skin; ~ ~ ~ “Married widower! Stolen life! Merciful Creator! Short lives taken at par; Who they are, Dawn of Death, Completely forgot time spent Invests.” ~ ~ ~ Gold pearly gates, Name ringing, Unfamiliar space between letters: “No mistakes up here.” • • Original poem by yours@truly ❤️BLACK LION is one of my poetry collections: #portcreditpoet #blacklionpoetry - - - Understand trees and look up ☝️ - - - - - #nowthehere #sailors #missingatsea #pirate #heaven #portcredit #sea #ocean #shipwreck #love #trust #gloomy #haunted #afraid #widow #death #ttcsubway #subwaytoronto (at Old Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/mitchellantonmaceachern/p/BxVB8mFl1cr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18gs18dmeai6
