Sacred Sabbath As rain lashed the darkness,I woke to the sound of fear,panic rising in my chest,heart pounding in my ears. Terror plays out in real timehorrific images across the news.Twisted truths and hatredspreading like an ugly bruise. Did I miss something here,did something go astray?Evil reared its ugly headon this sacred Sabbath day. AngerContinue reading “Sacred Sabbath”

Astray
Astray Bitter winds rustle through the trees,a longing starts deep within mefor light that breaks the darkest days.The autumn sun has gone astray. I want the gold dust from your eyesto warm my bones in turquoise skies.Birdsong chittering in the fray,the autumn sun has gone astray. There’s no more wishes in the well,no hidden secretsContinue reading “Astray”

Autumn Descends
Autumn Descends Autumn descends with clouds and rain,with harvest crops long gone to grain.Promise of cool days round the bend…but summer doesn’t want to end.

Out of the dark, into the dampdubious sun shines likeContinue reading “Autumn Descends”

In September Dreams
In September Dreams Restless summer, relentless heat,resolve is burning down in flames.Their shadows searching in the night,don’t even know each others’ names. Music drifts down the boulevardand so the ritual begins.The smell of wine and cheap perfume,quintessentially feminine. Drums match the rhythm of their hearts,slow dancing on pale clouds of love.Guitar riffs float across theContinue reading “In September Dreams”

Envy Street
Envy Street On a quiet street, beneath the starlightBehind lace curtains, our secrets will keep.A private soirée, two hearts taking flight,But in the shadows, nosy neighbors peep. Prying eyes lurk behind the windowpaneTo catch a glimpse of secrets they desire.Shallow souls, feeding on another’s pain,Careless tongues spread rumors and fuel the fire. But let themContinue reading “Envy Street”
