The sun still sleeps

as a dark horizon waits

for the
light of its morning

to illumine its world in beauty,

when I see your eyes open
and realize

mine has arrived first
Compact Poem Series

I guess you could say
it's kind of the way
that your beard is uneven
and your body is pleasin'

I guess you could say
it's the games that we play
when we're both lacking sleep and
we laugh 'til we're screamin'

I guess you could say
it's kind of the way
you drum 'til I'm keepin'
the rhythm you're beatin'

I guess you could say
it's the way that you lay
as I watch when you're sleepin'
and snorin' and dreamin'

I guess you could say
it's every single day
we can't help but cravin'
this love that we're made in
For my love.

It's a slow, cruel death
on a dark moonless night.
It's a black-eyed raven,
whose dark feathers gleam bright.

It's a sadness that is
oh so big and deep and wide.
It's a poor blind man,
on a journey with no guide.

It's a heavy, darkened mind
with intentions far from good.
It's an evil, ugly face
shadowed by a hood.
I kinda like poems you know
I guess I've fell in love with how the words flow.
Poetry is now my everyday passion

it's a little strange
to feel happy for something
so soon after you
Feeling many emotions today as I celebrate my birthday so soon after my son, Gabriel, was stillborn. It has been 16 days - and it feels like so many more and so many less than that.
Leaves vigorously shaking

Hearts pounding, aching

Summer is Fall's taking
