Poems

Imagination

Vacation, getaway, secret hidden location

Dark forbidden worlds filled with foreboding

Magical realms crawling with creatures from beyond

Danger or romance, perhaps both around the bend

Writing or reading, you can travel anytime you desire

Where in your depths lay the fire?

Remember

Yours to keep for a rainy day

Use when salty tears fall in great drops

Dark clouds gather, thunder rumbles

Chest clenches in unbearable pain

Know that you are loved

In the depth of my heart and thoughts

Warmth and strength will guide you through the storm

A Writer

Scrawling words across a blank page

Future not yet written

Action, romance, mystery, what awaits just ahead

Characters breathe life into each word and deed

The narrative springs onto the page

Heart skips a beat to learn what's next

Trudge

Daily struggle

Hill before me steeper by the step

One foot before the other I trudge

Weary, worn feeling hollow

I gaze ahead into nothingness

I ponder

How to end this doldrum

I am the problem and the solution

Start today

Sunrise

Morning dew lay heavy upon the sodden blades of grass

Billowing clouds of steam, golden rays heat the roof

Cacophony rises to crescendo, birds, cars, tractors, dogs

Sleep an experience arrested by reality, "I'm awake!"

Emotion

Love is a vast ocean.

Soothing you in its cool waters.

Raging when storms brew, waves crashing thunderously.

Peaceful on a sunny day, basking in tranquil pools.

Depending on the day, you want to linger eternal or run with haste.

Goodnight

Daylight hours drifting into twilight

Aspirations of the day blur with evening dreams

Whisper smile graces the lips of the one beside me

A faraway place, lingering embrace, a magical foray into the unknown

Until first rays of sunlight kiss the horizon enjoy your repose

Summer Cold

The nose was a sprinter, running with ceaseless vim and vigor

Hot and cold, cold and hot a veritable temperature merry go round

Daylight hour reprieve, evening brings all the symptoms not yet passed

Summer cold how I love thee, let me count the ways ... not one

Eternity

Concept of forever foreign to some, touchstone for others.

Infinite remain the possibilities of infinity, each breath a whisper of your name.

Eternity's' vastness can overwhelm, yet it will never provide enough time to love, laugh, live

with you.

Void

There's a void where light used to exist

An emptiness stretching eternally

Laughter lay unused, forgotten, gathering dust

Fragile fabric of daily existence ripped, torn

In vain, attempt to escape from reality, verily it remains
