The Morning and Dreadful Night

Tell me something I’ve never heard of, And take me away to somewhere I’ve never been, Because this sounds like something I faced long ago. Something I’ve already done and I’ve already turned away from. You: not the peace I seek right now. You Only exhibit what can be seen there. Maybe this is all … Read more

Let Me Go.

So now I remember what it was I saw in the rear view mirrors: The entry way into a summer season brought about by dusk skies and silhouettes of trees. Oh, get me out of here. Out of this place! For I’ve heard of some place across the pond, It’s got to be better than … Read more

Kill me for a lack of better cliches.

One rose and half of a candy heart. One quitter, one believer. The end of a battery, the security savior. Seas of tearful water. Wants and needs colliding. A drive because we had to, but was later needed. A false scare of mountain lions, The exhange of thank you’s. A realization that not a single … Read more

Peace I Will

Stop there. You’ve no place to go, have you realized? And the timer runs out. Your eyes start to water. You stare in desperation But where am I going? I’ve landed here, On this island, And I intend to stay. Don’t worry about me dear. I’ve got my own back here. Stay with me and … Read more

Come Here

Can we fly away?In front of the destruction that occurs around us. As trees fall and cities collapse, you stand up and laugh.Smile for me. How I love to see it. Bring me peace.

From inside the cabin

What are you doing? Time to grow up. Go do something. Time to wake up. There’s nothing more frightening than seeing headlights on your side of the road. I’m cool like that, cooler than this. But where are we? What have we done? We’re so close to the water. I lost my sight for it, … Read more

The World

Sleep tonight. The lights shut off in honor of you. For a pillow and a dream. The day has ceased. So dream the night away. Look at you. In the glorious aftermath. Your eyes are heavy with history. You saw so much today. Take it all in and sleep softly. This is just one more … Read more

To you, from me.

You have it. You’ve got it.In your arms, in your chest, in your heart, in your soul.I gave to you something I’ve kept.Locked inside of me.My heart is in your hands, your mind, your finger tips, your lips.You always stay close because you care so much. Why are you so far away from here?Oceans and lands away … Read more

Just.Works

I looked to my left. She was gleaming with the lights from the buildings on the side of the road. And as we strolled along quickly to see the fireworks it was as if she moved in slow motion. She just seemed so natural. I captured every moment of it. It was then that I noticed … Read more

She Hid Behind Greensleeves

I didn’t see this coming, this sort of thing, though winters in the past have brought me luck. There must be something in the air this year. The breeze filled with warm smell of spices in November And a mystic cloudy gloom in December. It’s all rather beautiful when put together. But here I was, … Read more
