Worry
Life’s simple pleasures
Are often overlooked by
Those who need them most
Category Archives: Emotions
Present
Cherish today, for
tomorrow’s promise is too
easily broken
Freedom
Unburdened release
Fetters of my own design
Finally unlocked
Nostalgia
When did my daughter
Get old enough to leave me
At the carnival?
Beneath
His smile hangs askew,
while unseen tribulations
rent rifts in his soul.
Chasm
Mute, straining to hear
your voice outstretched across our
chasm of silence.
The Void
Seeping like a stain
Across the fabric of time.
I am the darkness.
Peace
The warmth of a hearth
While rain clatters off the roof
Sets the mind at ease.
Hunger
My every attempt
To fill this chasm within
Succeeds, but briefly.
Winter
The night air’s cold hand
reaches down and pulls my breath
in shards from my chest.
