The Path Becomes Slower
The path becomes slower…
The orders become louder
The constant din of shattering shells
Like pots and pans being washed and put away by you
My mind becomes slower…
The generals clearly don’t know what to do
I take a bullet carefully from my friend’s arm, as if I’m holding you
My sleep has become numb…
The path to the other side has become shorter
Like the one I used to rush down to meet you
But now you hold the letter…
And it’s not from me
Just ends with words
“Hold him in eternity”
David R Mellor
Born 1964, (Liverpool, England) difficult birth, didn’t find my voice until my youth. Years of thinking I was nobody and treated as such. However, hit the paper papering over the scars. Found understanding and belief through words. I have been published and performed widely from the BBC, The Tate, galleries and pubs and everything in between.
My poems are autobiographical, others topical and several my take on life. Hope you enjoy reading as much as I have enjoyed writing. Please feel free to share your thoughts on links below.
