I saw you sitting underneath
the train stop awning, curled up
like a comma, trying to punctuate
the end of this already miserable day
As the rain dropped like pellets
from spilled bird seed
covering your surroundings in
reflections of what you can't see
Water splashes from the passing tires
in search of a new refuge
akin to your unfurling gaze
now staring back at mine

The winter's scent of snow
and a healthy dose of fireplace smoke
can only be likened to the nostalgia
of being enveloped by your warmth

are the trees waving
or simply moving with the wind?
are they shaking with laughter
or dancing to the music?
twisting, resonating, alive
grounded but free

With each clack
of the track
the room trembles
as if in fear
Shaking at the
roaring engines
blasting into endless
paths of gray
Marveling at the
passing birds
of aluminum
looking down as gods
But then silence
and stillness
overtake the sunlit
lair of solitude
And the only
sound, sight, touch
is that of peace
and comfort

Cheers to the hero
clink clink go the glasses
vibrating a radiance
equal to that of the vocal cords
that ring out his name.
Cheers to the hero
click click goes the gun
that offered him solace
in the place the Holy book
calls home.
Cheers to the hero
Fallen to earth
in pain but in reverie
to be spoken of
and remembered for
that which was done
in sacrifice for the multitude.
Cheers to the hero

The fleet of motivation
Lacking
Its fleeting nature
Fleeing from my immobile feet
To quicker waters
Faster beats
Leaving a shell
Of distant falters
Upon its head
A feather of weight
Lays gently pressed
Like unnerving sleet
But at what cost
Will it be
And when shall I see
The only best version of me?

Blank screen
arises quickly
only to be
splattered with rage
Descending, defeated
there rises
another
blank and waiting
But no rage
this time
only love
is given to its canvas
And up it stays
shining
not defeat but acceptance
for what it shows

The warmth, it emanates
from the crevices of the cloud we sit
as my head turns to you
the soft guitar plugs away
Your profile, silhouetted
against the window rained
purple neon lights twinkle beyond
illuminating each separate drop
You look outside, eyes wide
the corner of your lips slowly rises
the mellow drums beat my heart
as it thumps with adoration
I’m reminded of our travels
I think about lying next to you
snuggling next to your warmth
and watching it fall, the purple rain

Breathe deeply for
tomorrow may only
bring terror
Exhale slowly for
you never know when
you need another breath
Collect your thoughts
before they leave
your memory
And live them
again and again
until the fear ceases

Sat on stools
Sit the sappy
Sipping coffee and
Starting conversations
Loud voices
Lap the place
Listing places
Lovers live
Typing keys
Tap the air
Trapping words and
Tracing emotion
Above all
Although abrupt
Aims the arrows of many
Across a sky of avery
