Streets

Grey clouds overhead
Rain filled
Menacing
Threatening

Voices echo against piss stained walls
Burgundy splashes from last nights brawls
Finding my feet in unknown places
Alien faces on a regular basis

Whitewashed grin
Practised
Accomplished
Appease a crowd of
Well-wishers
Do-gooders

Winters kiss
Anaesthetises my skin
Sinister days ahead
Weeks
Months
Deep dark dread'¦

Dream of escape
Sanctuary, a home
Where the only thoughts
Are those of my own

very well done. One of the more intersting poems I've read in a while. I love your use of words, as well as your use of rhyme...it wasn't too much. Good job.

Interesting write man. Very charming and expressive. You have a certain style to you which I think is unique.
Great flow and approach to style.
