Elders
as I walk this earth
I tread on those before me
my path paved with love
–
footsteps
your past guides
my future

Anger
a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together
Drifting
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
Clamor
the noise in my head
a constant cacophony
that gives me no peace
–
whirlwind-
tranquility overcome
by turbulent thoughts
Destiny
Peace is elusive
But a respite from the past
Would suffice for now
Silence
The night’s slow passage
A stanza in the poem
Of my sleeplessness
Waiting
A tendril of smoke
Rises from her cigarette
As she sits alone
Humanity
Hatred is easy
Love and compassion require
Effort and hard work.
Barefoot
Shards of your anger
Litter the ground around you
Keeping me at bay
Regrets
All this cheap bourbon
Can’t help me forget the blood
I just can’t wash off
