Discontent rumbling
thunder rolling
through my mind
lightning flashing
jagged scars
across my heart
storm
on the once quiet beach
of my soul

sadness
Hollow
Hollow bones
of our
once upon a time
love
empty nothingness
without even
an ache
of memory

What You Took
There are days
I can’t dance
You took my steps away
Took my twirl
Took my spin
Took my easy roll
Took my I Dream of Jeannie shimmy
You took it
Locked it in your box
Tucked away memories
Not thinking
One day
I would want to dance again

Two Months
January and February
grab life
away from you
they take the sun
leave only gray
they offer no respite
from bitter cold
they eat your happiness
leaving you aching
for what is missing
I cannot wait
to wave good-bye

Stop and Start
Missing you
Missing things
Missing moments
Wasting my now
Thinking of them
When I should be
Creating my life
Finding instead of missing
So I can live
Instead of reminisce

Chasing Words
Absent so long
chasing words
running through my dreams
rambling words
singing to me in the dark
I fail to see them
cannot capture them
and my pages
lay bare again

Picture not my own
Broken Music
Our lives
a broken rhythm
measure after measure
lost syncopation
dismantled stanzas
Once played
as symphonic perfection
now discord
lost harmony
Beautiful music
strewn broken notes
on past’s path

Drowning
I sit here
drowning in thoughts
pulling me under
against my will
I didn’t invite them
to be here
univited guests
need to leave
so I can swim
back to the surface
and breathe
my next day

Leaving Today
She longed to see
tomorrow’s dreams
as today’s drifted
in winds of what was
further and further away
where not even a whisper
rustled gold turning leaves
not even faintest scent
trailed in air
her eyes turned
with her heart following suit
hoping moon dances of night
offered a glimpse
of what was to be
