Memories

Lightning bugs at dusk
Their glow, a beacon for those
Seeking simpler times

Awakening

I took for granted
Always waking up next to
Your side of the bed

Caution

Lessons from the past
Harbingers of the future
We choose to ignore

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

Noise

Lying on the floor
The world passes me by as
I try to let it

Beginnings

We walk the worn paths
Of an unexplored landscape 
The first of many

Shadow

The crook of my arm
Cradling ebony silk
Purring in my ear

Millstone

Old memories found
In the back of the closet
Hiding in the gloom
