“Park City Sunset” by Colleen Breuning © 2015 Refrain Night echoes in my heavy heart Painted darkness, my work of art. Words and anguish mingle with rain, My soul released with each refrain. Voices clash, intentions aground When everyone has his own sound. Sing out chorus, relieve this pain, My soul released with each refrain.Continue reading “Refrain (A Kyrielle Sonnet)”

Amethyst Sky
Photo by Colleen Keller Breuning © 2015 Amethyst Sky Rain has fallen five days straight. The levee breaks, hope comes undone. Tears from heaven flood the grass, Sparkling like diamonds in the sun. But it’s all right, I hear your voice Whispering as twilight draws nigh. Your smile beckons from distant stars Twinkling in theContinue reading “Amethyst Sky”
Out of My Mind
Out of My Mind (A Quatern) I can’t get you out of my mind, All those memories left behind. You don’t call me or speak my name… Leave me drowning in guilt and shame. Lost at sea, coastline undefined, I can’t get you out of my mind. Lonely echoes in drop of pin… Sad silenceContinue reading “Out of My Mind”

You cannot see beneath my skin where the real drama unfolds. Years of torture and abuse hidden away,Continue reading “Tattoo Me”

Hush now, summer is fading fast say goodbye to the firefly’s glow the lily will not long endure in pure white fields of early snow. We moveContinue reading “Those Were The Days”
Falling
Falling The sun has gone missing held hostage by defiant clouds heavy skies aching, stripped of light while the dark matter pulls us down… We are blind to our own blindness thinking inside narrow boxes afraid to color outside the lines hiding within our own shadows… Falling for fools, falling in love we fall outContinue reading “Falling”
Walk With Winter
Walk With Winter Here in the wake of gentle morning hush, shimmering sun rises in its scarlet blush, whispering namaste in the bitter breeze amidst the crow and bluejay’s fervent pleas. Here in the woods, you are never alone; nature comes alive in its welcoming home. Squirrels bury nuts under the towering oak, white-tails boltContinue reading “Walk With Winter”
Blue Reverie
Blue Reverie As the clouds dance their pas de deux In the blue reverie of the night sky, Moonglow reveals the spirit of you, And my heart is lifted up so high.
