Empty Sky My witness is the empty sky,Devoid of any truth or lie.Raindrops tumble from clouds of gray…It all ends in tears anyway. Winter wallows with brutal coldAs cherished memories unfold.No matter what they do or say…It all ends in tears anyway. Behold as Christmas comes againWith scent of spruce and cinnamon.But time is cruel,Continue reading “Empty Sky”

Searchlight Soul (A Sonnet)
Searchlight Soul I woke the same as any other day,Endlessly searching for the black hole sun.A shattered world tempered with shades of gray…Searching for traces of light, finding none. I walk this long and winding road of life,Endless anxiety laced with duress.The frigid winds blow through my bitter heart…Searching for inner peace and happiness. IContinue reading “Searchlight Soul (A Sonnet)”

Bewilderment
Bewilderment Summer beckons, delights of JuneMy eyes are the size of the moonGentle breeze caresses the bayAnd I won’t let it fade away. Pour the champagne, the night is youngThe taste of passion on my tongueThe weeping willows bend and swayAnd I won’t let it fade away.

Feu Follet
Feu Follet Down in the old South, deep in the bayou,Old banyan trees rustle in the dank air.Stars of Aquarius come into view,Strange voices whisper their tales of despair. From the darkness rose a small ball of light,Magical orbs swirling before my eyes.A feu follet glowing, fiery and white;Paranormal renderings in the sky. Tear upContinue reading “Feu Follet”
The Darkness
The Darkness The darkness descends with its gloomWrathful clouds release their cold rainAlone, imprisoned in this roomBold wind rattles the windowpane. Wrathful clouds release their cold rainOn a canvas of purple gloam.Bold wind rattles the windowpaneAs wayward geese make their way home. On a canvas of purple gloamHunter moon rises in night skyAs wayward geeseContinue reading “The Darkness”
Rogue Specters
Rogue Specters Upon dark clouds did hope depart,An iceberg dagger to the heart.Dim shadows lit by fading light…Rogue specters in the autumn night. Ten thousand spirits strayed, adrift,Cast out by societal rift.Bound by vision to make things right…Rogue specters in the autumn night. They mount their saddles, carry onTo promises of blooming dawn.Sailing on sunbeams,Continue reading “Rogue Specters”
Washed Away
Washed Away There is no calmafter the storm.Waters recede,the sun shines warm. Foreboding cloudshave left the sky.There are no tearsleft here to cry. All that we knewwas washed away.Our rainbow huesmuddled to gray. A sense of doomat damage done.Picking up pieceswe carry on… Yes, we are aliveand we shall survive… We shall survive. Colleen KellerContinue reading “Washed Away”
