The Finish Line Clouds hang overhead geese crowd the banks when the rain starts to fall the farmer gives thanks. The harvest has passed with bountiful yields winter is fast coming there’s frost in the fields. Feel the push of the wind and the bite of the cold his skin etched with time bones fragileContinue reading “The Finish Line”

Never What You See
Never What You See Twilight comes early in November cold the migrant geese cry and stake their claim as I walk in my solitary world where darkness rules and light is scarce and loneliness adds beauty to life. I have been restless for as long as I can remember but there is change inContinue reading “Never What You See”
Amiss
Shenandoah National Park – Colleen Breuning © 2015 Amiss Treacherous winds blow Cold drifts in a field of snow Dreams of long ago Something is amiss I need more in life than this Searching for true bliss As the seasons change Leaves strip away, rearrange O’er the mountain range Giving up the fight Anguish deepContinue reading “Amiss”
Liar, Liar (A Sonnet)
Photo by Morgue File © 2015 Liar, Liar (A Sonnet) The sun bows to you in grand reception, Falling prey to your charms, walking through fire, Caught in your wicked web of deception while you smile… pathological liar. What’s your excuse, were you dropped on your head Or pinched by forceps in your great escape?Continue reading “Liar, Liar (A Sonnet)”
Refrain (A Kyrielle Sonnet)
“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”
Tattoo Me
Tattoo Me In the realm of the mad god where desperation seems real, I am a man of a thousand faces hiding beneath ink and steel. Self-praise is no recommendation, for I am a deviant to behold. You cannot see beneath my skin where the real drama unfolds. Years of torture and abuse hidden away,Continue reading “Tattoo Me”
To Mingle With Shooting Stars
To Mingle With Shooting Stars These tired bones ache and the futile tears fall undetected, unrelenting, like soft rain on a summer day. The wind stills in deference to a radiant light rising up, drawing closer, closer as I crawl to the precipice. I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap inContinue reading “To Mingle With Shooting Stars”
