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)”

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”
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”
