The Night Times

For an inspirational friend in darkest of hours and brightest of smiles. |———————————————————-| Restless, your mind forever churning, sleep never coming your way, Plagued by bad feelings, burdens forever burning, settled down to stay. Darkened thoughts run abound without the glory of the Sun to chase the demons away. And with only the Moon […]

Where Did All The Flowers Go?

Red, pink, and white blossoms by the island fence, Don’t touch their thorns, it’s common sense, Dropped blood doesn’t make the grass grow, Where did all the pretty roses go? A sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, Large, yellow, flowery faces reaching way up high, Staring down the sun ’til it’s time […]

June 6th

Today is a day that brave men, Stormed bloody beaches, lives sold. Today is a day a little girl, Ignorant in youth, turned 2 years old. Those men have long disappeared, Into the abyss of darkness, That little girl grew old, Two months ago, she found bliss.

Trace My Face

Daily Prompt: Trace I trace the lines of my face, Putting all of the contours in place, And I look at the artwork on mirrored glass, No, artwork it is not, I’m not that crass. Nose, underscored by mustache hair. Beard bristling, long, bushy and full, Blacks, reds, blonds, one white hair in […]

I Won’t Know

Can I say that I’ve been in love? That I’ve swam in that chaotic ocean? Given up peace and released the dove? Life standing still, a ceasing of motion? Would I know it, if I’ve been in love? I don’t know… I doubt I ever will, Until it’s time for me to go.

Stellar Thermonuclear Detonation

That Dairy Air

I wakeup in the dark morning hours, Hall light burning my eyes, My mouth tasting sour, But it’s Monday, a good day of the week, After a weekend away from the love I seek, The love I seek is you, Wally World, Although you’re quite cold to me now, That’s simply fine, that’s fair, I […]

Alien by the Window

Asleep at night, it’s been a long time, Dreaming of my memories while they fade, Never took me long to dream, really. Fifteen minutes, sometimes less, to dream of grey. I’ve had one type of dream since I was ten, I’ve had this dream many times before, They never started out quite the same, […]

A Fantastic Story

Here I am at the latest of hours, mood turning sour, Filled with anticipation, decrying my lack of inspiration, To a world that never listens, a night sky that only glistens, Retreating into my mindscape, weaving a fantastic landscape. Crafting a fantastic story, to remain unwritten, My only private glory, to remain unsmitten. And […]

That Love

My poor grandfather, stricken with heartache and grief, His words haunting me with a darkened beauty… “I don’t think she realized how much I really loved her.” A true love stated so simply, always a man of few words. A true love I long for, I can see it written on his face, And […]
