Perfectly Flawed Paper thinpale porcelain skinaching bones upon the wake. Sullen dawna hole in the cloudsand I’m thinking I might break. Dark sky burstsrain pelting, meltingglacial heart that never thawed. Fragile soulbleeding wounds that healedand I am perfectly flawed. Colleen Keller Breuning © 2022 July 30, 2022

Scattered Stardust
Scattered Stardust Southern skies beckon this warm summer night,Horizon stretching to infinity.As Venus and Mars cast radiant light,The Milky Way blossoms in full glory. Inhaling deep as the twilight unwinds,Emotions are steeped in indigo blue.I travel the galaxy in my mind,Endlessly searching for remnants of you. As the nightingale sings a mournful tune,I sense yourContinue reading “Scattered Stardust”
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”

Spirit of the Forest
Spirit of the Forest Far above the towering redwoodsWhere the lone bald eagle flies,Steely clouds conspire and gatherTo break in alabaster skies. Monsoon descends upon green woods,Crystal raindrops mingle with tears.Shadows creep within the forest,Stirring up my deepest fears. A life of suffering and sins,I hear your cry upon the winds.If only I could stopContinue reading “Spirit of the Forest”

Withered Sunflowers
Withered Sunflowers Smoke and flames frame the horizon;Red blood runs cold, hope forsaking.Distant gunshots are growing closer,And the sinister skies are breaking. Families torn, they flee the border,Clutching withered sunflowers in hand.A demented monster unleashes terror,And destruction spills across the land. The rain beats down upon my windowOn this endless and forlorn day.I crave yourContinue reading “Withered Sunflowers”
Misty Eyes
Misty Eyes Little voices call out so sweet,Pitter patter of tiny feet.Smiles that light my indigo skiesAs tears of love sting misty eyes. Finger painted hands, work of art,Silly giggles that steal my heart.Moments cherished with each sunrise,As tears of love sting misty eyes. I sing their favorite nursery rhyme.Too soon, I’m running out ofContinue reading “Misty Eyes”
