Long Crueler Poems

The Sheriff, not a pleasant sort 
Was learning of a bad report
About a soul, Who stood defiant
And swore an oath, to topple tyrants

Who once was noble, but now has strayed 
Hell bend upon his rebels...

His wise council and kind patience bolstered my resolve
to overcome my youthful woes and nightmarish troubles solve.
His humanity may have saved my life. His memory I hold dear.
But whenever the name Mister James arose—

I awake in the early morning darkness
frozen, motionless, immobilized,
my eyes straining to see into the black void
looking for any sign of my keepers,
listening for any kind of movement
Phantom-like images dart around me slowly,
multiple images spring...

An Evil War

They walk the plains of sun-dried grass,
     together in a row;
the mothers, with their young ones, pass

The armies they are massing:
They line and ring every shore, every strand bristling with 
The deadliest of weapons;
The tocsin should be sounded, 
And every cannon is round at its bore.
Fires rage unchecked and unopposed throughout the 
Entire world,...

"It's time to shut it down, my Lord,

and thousands more are jailed.

And jail just makes them meaner,
their hearts are filled with hate.
They're cesspools filled with violence

millennias in which war oppression tyranny abound
wars of religions politics and conquering men
violence destruction to Lord over their kin
 
Murder was rampant by all priests and kings
formidable weapons firearms...

That was not what she had once planned to be.
Orphaned in a crash, at the young age of nine
She learned to do what she must to survive.

Than never having had you  
But is it better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all?
I have lost the battle between my...

A POEM

By: C.M. Charron





Reading the News



Opened, or Closed? 

Blue like a corpse?

or

Pink as a rose?

Under my clothes;

It all is exposed.

My self is discarded

along with the rest .... undone ......

My best.

My choice?

My TRAUMA!

My inadequacies

Anger, dolent, satisfaction.

I dont understand the feelings
What is it? Where is it? How can I avoid it? 
No,
How can i get it?

People uttered 
Whynis it still going...

Love ,was it ever there?

With a kind and generous face

Such a determined one she is 
And a one...

They make laws, like great dictators; say they do for my sake;
I know these laws, like blood-money, in reality, fake;
They force them on me; prodding, pushing, Pressing, propelling, 
I keep pleading; perpetually peace perpetrating; 
Who...

I'm sorry I came here.
I'm sorry I let you trick me.
You have them all convinced they need you.
I do not.
I'm sorry that it seems no one cares
Whether this world is alive or dead.
May I believe...

PINK TENNIS SHOES

I mother always pride galore
 until the words from daughter abhor.

Her gentle heart and loving embrace
smashing to pieces. She fell from grace.

Her untied tenny shoe, wrapped and tight
around her bike, could free no...

I look at the tree in the morning.
It does not bob nor weave.
It knows the precious story.
The one of Calvary.

Its bark. Its bite. Its arteries and veins.
One’s precious blood ran down its legs.

It was cut...

Why, then, is the naughty sun still high in the sky...?...

So hard to see beyond yourself
Too bright to see the back yard
Of the stars behind the curtain
Behind the mind of time 
Are oceans really on the sun?

The forest for...
