Leap

Annulled at midnight
This day destined to return
In four years from now

Age

A young man’s eyes see
The lined face and greying hair 
Looking back at me

Regrets

Memories of you
Follow closely, taunting me
With what might have been

Mirage

Heat searing the dunes
Visions of water beckon
Far in the distance. 

Passing

I caught your eye then
I glanced down at my cell phone
And you kept walking

The Road

Rivers of blacktop
Streaming towards infinity
But going nowhere. 

Twist

The sun has risen
and shone its warmth on my face
for the final time.
