Chased

Rushing
fleeing dawn
in hushed whispers
with rustling tick-tock heartbeats.
Running.

Chased
by time
strumming new beginnings
across those yesteryear fields running.
Rushing.

After the Party

After the party

mixed amongst splattered plastic cups

and napkins smeared with good times residue,

you will find my heart, pale and shivering, cold,

frozen there with sorrowful beats, barely audible.

Day sends Night's mystique packing,

friends and all.

Rainy Days

Rainy Days

Wind in hushed murmurs

makes my window curtains fly

while grasses tremble

and leaves turn under in fear.

In dark solitude

Birds' silent vigils commence 

awaiting the roar

of thunderous clouds screaming

to open rainy day storms.

The Promise

The Promise

Loyalty in gold

with another sunrise comes

constant, like a smile

on a trusting baby's face,

the promise of each new day.
