Touch the Alabaster Skies
Touch the Alabaster Skies A distant future waits for meBeyond the black, turbulent seaMy hopes and fears to be reckoned,Multiplying by the second. Clouds break above the bare oak trees;A distant future waits for me.Dark thoughts pile in as wave crash down.Limbs flail as I begin to drown. I hear the mourning dove’s sad criesandContinue reading “Touch the Alabaster Skies”
Bells on Christmas Eve
Bells on Christmas Eve Jupiter aligned with Saturnand winter took a bitter turn.Our flashlights scanned the galaxy as the hoot owl whispered softly. Do you remember hearing bellsjingling as Christmas Eve snow fell?By my window cold and icy,as the hoot owl whispered softly. Where did you go? Why did you leave?Bells break the silence as IContinue reading “Bells on Christmas Eve”

The Autumn Storm
The Autumn Storm Outside the rain clattered,pounding on my windowpaneas the autumn winds rumbled,thrashing like a hurricane. Dread ran deep in the black night,sharp lightning cut the skies.Sparking bolts struck the ground,impervious to my fervent cries. Hours dragged on in turmoiluntil the storm came undone.Its last chords, a final sonatain deference to the morning sun.Continue reading “The Autumn Storm”
Darkness Turns to Dust
Darkness Turns to Dust I feel the chill of winter blowAs clouds of blasphemy rain low.Strong beams of steel dissolve to rustWhenever darkness turns to dust. The wheels fly off, dark skies portendThe world’s going off the deep end.Into the realm of lies we’re thrustWhenever darkness turns to dust. Feels like I’m circling the drainInContinue reading “Darkness Turns to Dust”
