Poetry by Charles Joseph


Young Blood

A trick of blood trickling down my palms,
give me your hands

your soul strapped in the barrettes clipping your hair shut
it longs to scream, shout and fly with the clouds
but you won’t let it.

A sinister flower killing your light little by little
surrender all of you, as you do every day,
and taste my blood; the soul of youth.
Retrieving the truth long lost in your soul

Let me bestow youth upon you.
Feel young once again, drown in your emotions
Jump to the clouds and land in a pool
Back first. While starring at the sky

Feel young, once again.
Taste my blood.
Then, honey, you’ll realize you’ve been living a lie
Because, tonight,
You are young.


Stay as young as possible for as long as possible.

Yes, poem’s theme is “We Are Young” by Fun.
