You slipped
away from me,
like the robins and
cherry blossoms when
spring ends,
and the fractured nights
of winter come.
I will search the
midnight alleys, and the
mountains of Chile.
I will listen for
your sweet laughter.
I long to taste your
honeysuckle lips, and
hear your heartbeat.
If I never find you,
I will be a lost leaf
on the lonesome
vagabond wind.

I am very pleased to announce the release of my latest book, Aluminum Cowboys: Poems and Short Stories
It's available on Amazon along with my other books.
I've been reading from the books of poetry on my YouTube channel. Just search Thomas W. Case, and you will find it. I'll be reading from the new book soon. You may find the golf and video shorts entertaining as well.
