Fireflies in Moonlight

I walk in the dark,Through the symphony of crickets,Searching for memories of you.I knew you before our lips touched;Confirmation of a soul’s desire.Destiny’s lies come true.I can’t see you now,In my mind’s third eye,Nor my skull’s two.Tears fall down Like snow in summer;Rare and cold.The crickets play onTheir song for neither me nor youAs firefliesContinue reading “Fireflies in Moonlight”

I’m not mad Just disappointedLike losing a friend Who had been with you through thick and thinA brother of sortsWho had fought beside youIn public and private warsNot mad enough to spit nailsJust enough to turn away When offered a whiskey or aleI’d build a bridgePay for all the partsWatch as you burn it downAndContinue reading “I’m Not Mad”
