Brisk early morning
Birds singing, serving up joy
An extra cup please

and when I lay here
bathed in the morning light
I think about times long ago,
when you were here with me
bathed in the same glow
and drinking coffee
after sleepless nights
wrapped in only our sheets
and looking at the sun
as it rises over the city.
oh how I miss you here.

“speck of sunshine beneath the clouds,
daylight breaks, bring rooster’s sound.
yawns and sighs as time ticks through,
rustling sheets bid me adieu.
farewell, goodbye, I’ll see you soon,
perhaps sometime this afternoon?”

The gentle Amber light of dawn
My legs entwined in yours
A mess of unmade bedsheets
And sweat soaked kisses

The birds chirp their morning melody
My face buried in your chest
A deep breath as I hold you tighter
And take in your scent.

Waking up to your face, everyday.
This will be our mornings, one day.

the breakfast we never ate...
our bed still warm
waiting for the spoons to return

a voice  
     your little voice…

the table’s weight crashes to the ground…

none of this will return to what it  once was

your small tears can not fix this broken bowl

one song on repeat  

at least its a good one i think…

new bowls
other things to fill them...

how soon we have forgotten  
the bed that wasn’t ready to let us go

tears and laughter
we are broken

our day has just begun.

The sun that rises on my dreams

Is frosty cold

Ice fills my head.

Beyond all knowing in my mind

Is the hollow keening wind

Which sings around corners

Seeking out the pavement cracks

It blows my thoughts

And leaves me scattered

Crow picked to the core

A shredded howling
