Poetry from the mind of Callum White

Remember

Callum — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:59:43 +0000

Remember
when I am gone
remember me
when I have passed.
Not for the pains
or troubles and strife
Nor for the gains
or wealth in your life.
Remember me for
the joys that I bring
the sorrows dispelled
and the songs that I sing.
And if you prefer
and it makes you at ease
do not be afraid
to forget me
and be pleased.

Binman

Callum — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:30:43 +0000

I am over and done with,

finished,

in the trash,

put out for the binman.

The dark hooded binman.

He waves his sharpness in greeting,

a final farewell greeting.

A welcome to my world greeting.

The binman is here to take out the trash.

Infinity

Callum — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:13:37 +0000

Wandering on the edge
of space and time.
Wondering,
longing to hold you,
to have you in my arms again.
The infinite universe
will not halt my search.
I will come to you,
kneel for you,
submit my life
to yours.
For you I would do anything,
travel the infinite realms of space,
stumbling on the edge of a
cyberverse.
Searching the infinity.

My Lightning

Callum — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:08:16 +0000

You are a lightning bolt to my heart
Fizzling, crackling, exploding with passion
When I leave, that face of beauty
Haunted me on my travels
Woke me in a sweat
I thought of nought but you.
I love you, not for hair, eyes, smile or beauty
But for love itself
You are my lightning
You enlighten me

Friend

Callum — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:07:49 +0000

Talking to you, solace is found
Comfort that I can never be scorned
Or deprived of friendship
You are there
Now and for eternity
You have a place in my heart
For you have the key to it
You bring me joy when I am down
Companionship when I am lonely
Serenity when I am on the edg
Of insanity.
My friend.

Purity

Callum — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:07:25 +0000

From the eye of the storm
the bolt of lightning strikes true.
Through my heart, tattered and torn
to make me whole. Thoughts of you

plague my mind
What to find?
Undying love
Pure as a dove.

My heart repaired
seeks only you.
My mind impaired
My tears speak truth.

For your lighnting bears
The power it wears
Is strength of love
Pure as a dove.

Battle

Callum — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:06:55 +0000

Gratified
in self conscious schemings.
Teeming
with lust and venge.
ATTACK!
Swarming to defense,
the battle of nonsensical nonchalancy,
seemingly swimming from his lips to his,
words, phrases, perfect, imperfect,
first, second, third.
It’s all the same,
you cannot tame!
Control your mind.
Righteous anger
flowing forth.
HOLD BACK!
Do not give in.

Trip To Hell

Callum — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:18:09 +0000

Take a breath
A long deep sigh.
Smell that?
It’s brimstone.

Extend your fingers
Reach out.
Feel that?
It’s fire.

Open your mouth
Lick the air.
Taste that?
It’s smoke.

Listen closely
Strain your ears.
Hear that?
It’s a river.

Open your eyes
Look about.
See that?
He is your ferryman.

Katie’s Poem

Callum — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:10:39 +0000

This is not my work, but the work of a friend, and I would like to make this honourary mention on my site, because I think she needs to realise how good it is.

A bullet through each and every one,
Emotion for fills you.
Surrounding others around you,
Sun dissolves into darkness.

Bloodshot feelings.

Meaningless words,
Spread through thin ice.

What did you mean?
I will never know.

Urban Undergrowth

Callum — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:58:47 +0000

Walking through the urban undergrowth
Huge concrete trees
Brush the clouds
Scrape the sky
Scurrying ants
Covering the forest
Going about their business
Private
Secretive
Predators stalk the alleys.
Run in fear.
