An oversized bagspills over his small bodyeyes squinting, smiling my head tilts to hide my tearas his clean hands wave goodbye
Gray concrete buildingsstretching to claw at the cloudslike hard, numb fingersUnderneath, Earth softly dreams,Recalling the touch of rain
Born of stone and timeSculpted from rushing watersRock carved by harsh windsEons of deserts and dunesAn hourglass earth never turns
Wide eyes, baited breath,The data swirls before me,Up, down, like my mood,Joy to sorrow with one click,'refresh' brings no refreshment.
Darkness to the west,Thunderheads stampede this way.Mountain trees tremble,Unable to escape fate.Lightning seeks its next victim.
Silent and stalking,She slinks along, quiet ease.Tail twitches, ears flick,Feline grace with deadly aimAs she pounces on her prey.
As fall closes inAnd colors begin to fadeHe breathes his last breathHis pain ceases to existBut my hurt has just begun
Light wind blows my hair,Turning blonde into a dance.As the sun weaves through,And sets a halo above.Angels only live in light.
How deeply runs love?
Infused in blood through my veins.
Enriching my soul,
Beguiles my sense, my reason.
Drowned in rapture, I am lost.
Twelve days I watched you.Twelve nights I sang whilst you slept.Twelve days I waitedAnd lived off naught but coffee.On the thirteenth you were gone.
