Beyond the passion of colour
the wind is crawling over trees
clawing at loose clothing
and things
not tethered or secure.
Beyond empathic words uttered
it sings hollow
and then a full
roar
settling its breath
to a sigh as it dies
beyond the texture it brings.
With nothing to mark
its existance except thee.

A SIX-WORDS POEM CHALLENGE
#SIXWORDSBRO
When the stage is bare
I sit and ponder
The show is over folks im done
the curtain is falling
Im hanging up my hat for good
This boy from Texas had a good run
Last notch on this outlaws gun
Etched in my life like the carving on the tree
It stood tall over there in nineteen hundred and ninety three
But it's over now all hope is gone
No family no friends no love no home
The business end of a 45 don't play
I guess that's my justice in some dark way
The show is over none left here to see
If you see me in hell say a prayer for me
When the moon comes over the tower
When the world it starts to see
when the dead letter cries
and all you despise
who's gonna set you free
