Winter’s Beginning Ends

The evening’s moon shone upon the newly fallen snowMy love lay beneath itFresh as the breath of a new dawn, pure white in colorNo trace of the stain of my tearsI fear to tread upon it, to mar such perfect a blanketYet the words echoThe reflection of the moon’s light pales and dims in memoryTheyContinue reading “Winter’s Beginning Ends”

Is This Not Love?

Look around you, it lays there among the clutter and mess,The tidy corners and cleaned spills.There, where dirty socks used to lay or lay still, There, where footsteps left their imprints from the rain.Is this not love?As I sit alone in the warmth of the bed where your body did layAs I sit across fromContinue reading “Is This Not Love?”

If I Could Not Touch You

If I could never touch you again, I’d lose my will. I could not go, on or through. I’d crumble where I stood. Who could stand such cruelty? Who would do such a thing?

Calm Before War

On the eve before the warThe calm in the streetsIs an eerie echo that rattles in my mindLike the faint call of a forgotten loverOr a missing child.

I yam who I yam

How do you keep silentOn a cold winter’s dayLike the snores of a snakeHibernating in some forgotten hole?Do you bury your head? A gopher in a field or Perhaps an ostrich in the sand,Your head buried like treasure.It’s the polite thing to do,To say nothing,When inside your head Spins a running commentaryLike a golf tournamentAnnouncerContinue reading “I yam who I yam”
