Shadow
dealing with the grief
of saying goodbye to you
for the final time
–
rest
at last
in peace
Category Archives: Sadness
FUD
a misty red haze
growing stronger feeding on
hate, fear, and anger
–
cold rain
wolves circle
a wounded deer
Hamadryad
as one with her tree
longing for the one true love
she can never have
–
high in the branches
she watches him
ride away
Exhausted
physically drained
emotionally wiped out
I have no spoons left
–
driftwood
beaten by
the surf
Beneath
hatred is poison
turning ignorance and fear
into pure evil
–
meandering river
crocodiles wait
just below the surface
Colors
shades from dark to pale
each made up of the other
standing arm in arm
–
frigid night
streaks of fire
light the sky
Humanity
black and blue and bruised
pinned to the ropes but fighting
for our very souls
–
a hard rain
drenches all
with no regard
Rebound
unable to sleep
in what used to be our home
Feeling your echo
–
labyrinthine walls
reflecting back
your hollow voice
Bump
a cavernous void
of fears and uncertainty
filling drop by drop
–
darkening forest
a deep growl
in the distance
Return
the clinking of ice
he signals the bartender
for just one more drink
–
false dawn
an owl returning
to it’s nest
