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.

Vertigo

Vertigo My head is spinning round and round,My feet unsteady on the ground.I’m caught up in this undertow,I’ve got a touch of vertigo. I try to still these waves of changeAnd close my eyes to rearrange.I sense your warmth as cold winds blow,I’ve got a touch of vertigo. In fields of gold, your lips meetContinue reading “Vertigo”

Light Fading Twilight is falling,autumn breeze blowing.Past the honeysuckle bushes,my tired feet are slowing.

Perfectly Flawed

Lines in the Sand

Lines in the Sand The wind blew coldThe moon grew oldAnd just where did our time go?In void of grayYou slipped awayWhere all cloaked emotions flow… Inhale the breezeOf churning seasAs hope scatters across land.I stand aloneHand clasping stoneAnd I draw lines in the sand… I drew you lines in the sand,Lines in the sand…Continue reading “Lines in the Sand”

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice The sun is settling down gently,casting shadows upon western peaks.Baby bunnies scurry towards the brushas the lonely catbird speaks. Clouds refract soft pastel hues,cotton candy melting in the skies.A spark of joy ignites my heart,and I am dancing with the fireflies. I chase the summer solstice,down to the wooden bridge.I leap through goldenContinue reading “Summer Solstice”
