Disturbance
watching while you sleep
your gentle breath, warm and sweet
so easily stilled
–
echoes of
silence spread
throughout the night

Anger
a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together
Calm
in the forest pond
floating water lilies tint
the fishes below
–
ripple-
a golden koi
breaks the surface
Unseen
footprints in the grass
below my bedroom widow
revealed by the dawn
–
hidden-
disguised by the night
peering undetected
Clamor
the noise in my head
a constant cacophony
that gives me no peace
–
whirlwind-
tranquility overcome
by turbulent thoughts
Cover
an unseen rabbit
eyes the fox suspiciously
from beneath the hedge
–
hidden-
the rabbit spies
a hungry fox
Introspection
often I frequent
my mind’s darker recesses
to search for solace
Or
in the dark corners
of my mind
seeking peace-
Regrets
All this cheap bourbon
Can’t help me forget the blood
I just can’t wash off
Beginning
Darkness enshrouds me
While subtle forces gently
Send me toward the light
Serenity
A lake flat as glass
The calm belies the hunger
Beneath the surface
