From the Desk of Christopher Duncan

Welcome to the calmer place in my mind. My Ramblings, life, thoughts on writing, and whatever other drivel I can think of wasting your time with.

LITTLE LAMB

Searing pain mixed with blood Does the little Lamb come Youth lost to carnal pleasures Does the innocents die Little Lamb so still within the shadows A little soul lost A little girl does cry In this world of pain and blood Darkened walls and shadowed landscapes Crawl...

PRISON WITHOUT WALLS

He thinks back to when it started. To when the walls began to surface around him, was it his sons 28th birthday? He couldn’t be quite sure. The signs were there, the pains down the arm, shortness of breath, he knew almost 6 months before it finally hit him, yet he...
