Escape
alone on the road
speeding towards oblivion
far away from you
–
velvet panic-
our safe word
forgotten
Category Archives: Dusk
Aged
his paper thin skin
stretched across arthritic hands
so easily bruised
–
a spreading elm-
our initials
overgrown
Mortality
pale whispers of men
pass by along the river
rowing in silence
–
walking stick in hand-
my footprints
fading
Over
watching you suffer
affords me none of the joy
I was expecting
–
blood moon-
packing my bags
while you sleep
Stone
in a farmer’s wall
amid the moss and loose stones
frogs sing in the night
–
crickets-
rain traces
stone to stone
Fog
as the fog rolls in
skeletons of spectral trees
fade into the night
–
foggy evening-
gnarled branches
scratch at my window
Roses
nestled in the snow
a single long stemmed red rose
rests on your headstone
–
cold rain-
in the gutter
a bouquet of roses
Burn
locked in my safe room
the world burning down outside-
is it hot in here?
–
crimson sky-
ashes drifting
on hot winds
Orion
alone in the dark
the hunter chases his prey
deep into the night
–
cold moonlight-
he claims his place
among the stars
Loss
hug your children tight
for tonight there are parents
who won’t get that chance
–
barren trees-
young branches
devoid of leaves
