Poems written under the influence of seemingly eternal and unmedicated sadness.

Smoke got in my eyes, by d.s.l.
Smoke got in my eyes,
I am sorry, I have made myself cried
Smelling the burn in my tears
I have lost touch with my short years
The day was new when I first arrived,
Flowers had bloomed from grass once dried
To be a traveler among the woods of life,
I could walk the earth and see the sky
I find the paths ahead of me,
To be the one my father could be
I find the paths ahead of me,
To be the son, my mother would love me
I rage towards those miles,
To lose some life for some delights
The moss now drench my feet,
The pull so harsh of marsh and peets
What have I done to life,
That smoke must have got in my eyes
So now I am alone with me,
Also with me just bees and trees
I thought I should die here,
To hear the dirt that dulls my fears
That day must come to near,
When I walk this life but as a seer
Now I am within these woods again,
I won’t cry more about my years,
Goodbye, Goodbye, you Rise and Tries
No more will smoke gets in your eyes
