A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
Full belly, warm day.
Perfect mix for siesta.
I'll just close my eyes...
A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
Lazy afternoon.
Everyone is sound asleep.
Music softly plays.
Gentle breeze explores the house,
while birds sing among the trees.
A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
Natures orchestra
Crickets and frogs harmonize
Alas just one note
But still music to my ears
For I know that I am home
A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
Summer at the dunes
Local island paradise
Room for everyone
Join the party stay all night
With the crowd or on your own
A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
The clearest blue sky
Not perfect, but pretty close
Scarred with wisps of cloud
Yachts languish in the doldrums
As time itself takes time out
A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
Strawberries and cream
Wimbledon when rain stops play
Same old hand in hand
A Thomas Hawkins Jul 2010
This constant aching feeling
that lives inside of me
a sense of something missing
where contentment used to be

It's funny how I never
really noticed it before
but its started the same day
you got the cab from my front door

The time we spent together
was so fleeting yet intense
Be it weeks or days or months or years
It makes no difference

I just wanted you to be aware
of my pain since you went away
So you can understand the reason
why I'm counting every day
