A Freedom Spirit Poem by Chris Bunton I was at work, walking outside when I heard a hawk call. His beautiful cry, in the crisp fall air, instantly brought me back to the forest I miss. Just sitting in the woods spending time with God; watching His creation work around me, as I become oneContinue reading “The Hawk”

Release
Spirit Poem by Chris Bunton I was in the arctic.Those frozen forests of Alaska.North of Fairbanks,in the wild Yukon. It was night,and the moon shown,on the white, bright snow.Everything had a light, blue glow. It was cold,minus 60 degrees,and I prayed to God,for a sign to go. I needed a change.A new life, away.And aContinue reading “Release”
The Wall
Political Poetry By Chris Bunton I walked past the wall, my head held low. My father made it home; no one’s there I know. But I saw him there, a man that could be a friend; another son, looking for someone, to bring an end. I began to feel the tears welling; my heart broken.Continue reading “The Wall”
Friends Gone Away
A Recovery Poem by Chris Bunton I still dream of my friends,The ones I used to know.The ones passed away,The ones still at home. I miss my friends,But I don’t miss the pain.The shady lies,And back dealing shame. Never knowing who to trust,Or which one would betray.Wondering who would be there,And who would throw meContinue reading “Friends Gone Away”
Empty Shells
Spiritual Poetry By Chris Bunton The sea waves, washing empty shells clean. Laid in the sand, just where each should be. The being, gone from inside the shell, leaving colorful beauty behind. In life’s waves, we are born and we grow, only to die and be lain to rest. Our soul is gone, from thisContinue reading “Empty Shells”
To Tears
Quatrain Love Poem by Chris Bunton I brought her to tears.It’s not what I want to do.I feel that I broke her,And I’m broken too. How do we get us back;To find ourselves again?There’s an awkward thing now;A shame that’s insane. The makeup was hot and dirty,a grudge and a love.Can we go back,And fitContinue reading “To Tears”
Conspiracy Theorist
Rebel Poetry by Chris Bunton I am a Conspiracy Theorist.I can’t help it.Maybe it’s genetic.Maybe I learned it;when those I trusted lied.When those who should know,didn’t.When they just told me,what they were told,to tell me.When they say, “Because I said so.” Maybe I’m a rebel.Maybe you are too.I see things, that don’t add up.I hearContinue reading “Conspiracy Theorist”
I Want You

On The Beach
Poetry By Chris Bunton Sitting on the beach, watching the awesomeness of God. Waves crashing Wind blowing Sun warming the white sands and my toes below. Peaceful Joyful Happy, happy, happy Till she shows up, blasting music. She wants to invade, my world. Maybe I’ll toss her tunes into the sea. Maybe I missed theContinue reading “On The Beach”
Family
A Poem by Chris Bunton What is family?I’ll tell you what I think. Family is a bunch of people,you are tied to for life. Whether you like it or not.They are there, and share it. Even if they hate you,they bear the title and stains. Whether it’s your child,Or mom, or uncle, or dad. There’sContinue reading “Family”
