Regret
every single day
regrettable decisions
I can’t seem to stop
–
waiting in vain-
a puddle
of streetlight
Category Archives: Fear
Break
the window broken-
in the unlit house glass shards
crunching underfoot
–
descending silence-
a wizened elm
uprooted
Silence
deafening silence-
either speak out or admit
your complicity
–
becalmed-
the sea reclaims
what’s rightly hers
Trust
full of suspicions-
in our bed looking at you
lying beside me
–
crevasse-
a broken trust
far from healing
Decline
a chance encounter
just glimpse of your face then
you’re lost in the crowd
–
incoming tide-
all these memories
built on sand
Quiet
a prick and a push-
quelling my inner deamons
for just a moment
–
thunder-
reveling in
the sudden silence
Atonement
pleading for my life-
attempting to atone for
the wrongs that I’ve done
–
morning dew-
my sins cast
upon the water
Ruin
violent currents
slake their thirst with sailor’s lives
by the gates of hell
–
jagged ice-
ancient wrecks
litter the narrows
Floating
a sudden silence
painful accusations still
hanging in the air
–
tiny monarchs-
weightless
milkweed seeds
Harvest
a shaft of sunlight-
the autumnal equinox
finally arrives
–
apple harvest-
lengthening shadows
mark the time
