Jack Nightengale

I originally started writing as a poet, and up until a year ago, I continued to expand my writing. It has been a long journey to go from one style to another. I write not just for myself but for those who have dreams of doing the same. My mother is my biggest inspiration. She started writing poetry long before I came around, and it inspired me to do the same. I enjoy writing a good story as much as I enjoy a good movie. If words can capture an audience and paint a picture, then you have yourself a verbal movie. I hope that you will enjoy my writings as there are plenty more to come.

Through age comes experience, through experience comes wisdom but, imagination is within us all from birth!

Imagination is like time. It does not stop or shrink but, it continues to expand beyond its brink.

Shadow Play

In the dark I fell,

Beyond the reach of all light,

Awaiting the day to be released from my cell.

Caged like a bird and chained like a beast,

Bleeding out an open canvas, slowly withering away.

Enraged shadows, upon my heart they feast,

Slipping, fading, and disappearing more with each passing day.

Broken soul, memories steadily pass,

Howling spirits, screeching like nails on glass.

Clawing, scratching and fighting to survive,

The heart has flat lined, no longer left alive.

No more breathing, it’s all gone away,

But the cage remains and the chains are here to stay,

Still the shadows linger, with my soul they play.

Glorious Blaze

It was beautiful to see what I had done,

No one could see but heard the sound of my gun

It didn’t take long for authorities to arrive,

Didn’t really matter since I left no one alive.

The area was surround by people that want to hunt me,

my escape seemed like it had been flawed but, I had something for them to see.

I found myself to the town’s armory,

That alone, promised me a brutal glory.

I lit the fuse and created a fire,

I would soon be done and ready to retire.

As I started to walk shots were fired,

a few to the back as I try to
