I drag my feet through
the dust of relationships
that I’ve left behind
–
shuffling
forward into
an empty future
Category: Love
Bloom
a silken rose bud
opens with just a whisper
but only for me
–
red velvet and lemon
delicate blossoms
gently unfurl
Walking
a trail of bent grass
left behind by my roaming
for you to follow
–
newly fallen snow
you’re walking
in my footsteps
Disturbance
watching while you sleep
your gentle breath, warm and sweet
so easily stilled
–
echoes of
silence spread
throughout the night
Being
who I am is just
in between who I was and
who I will become
–
my future
hinges on keeping
my past promises
Elders
as I walk this earth
I tread on those before me
my path paved with love
–
footsteps
your past guides
my future
Lost
a bicycle bell
she speeds by, skirt fluttering
laughter in the wind
–
She’s gone
before I know
it’s her
Drifting
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
Waiting
in twenty-two years
from now I pray I’ll still be
waking next to you
–
in anticipation-
dreaming of
our old age
Decency
there is no debate
we should be doing what’s right
not just what’s easy
–
morality is
happily doing
the hard work
