Sketches of Pain Dark clouds threaten, sky splits apartFlooding emotions, bleeding heartsUgly secrets, women in chainsBroken spirits praying for rain. Flash of lightning, crash of thunderLast shred of faith torn asunderHaunting whistle of distant trainBroken spirits praying for rain. But something changes in the airHope cuts through layers of despairFingers tracing sketches of painBroken spiritsContinue reading “Sketches of Pain”

Black Swan
Black Swan See her glide across liquid fields of blue,The shape of water morphing in her tracks.Through dappled clouds, bright rays of light shine throughAs dewdrops glisten on her feathered back. Dark silhouette, epitome of grace, She shadow dances from dusk until dawn.A sweet ballet, accolades to embrace:Proud moments in the life of a black swan. Continue reading “Black Swan”

Thoughts tumble down, into the fray At the end of a weary day.Golden moon rises high and freeAs the wind speaks softly to me.

Tangled up in guilty pleasures,Show to me your hidden treasures.Colliding deep with sweetContinue reading “Velvet Whispers”
Stray
Stray Dark loner wanders as the sun goes down,Dirty asphalt beneath his weathered feet.Straying on, past the far edges of town,There is no vacation on these mean streets. Though winter is waning, bitter winds blow,He shivers behind a ramshackle shed.His fur coat matted by cold rain and snowAs visions of summer dance in his head.Continue reading “Stray”
