First Spring Rain, AK Style

Ice holdouts. fully receded
morning rain, moistened dusty air
puffs of silver, slowly pass by
as brown mounds, stretch, and come alive

winter toils now compost piles
schools out for summer

blaring at the swimmin' hole

within my mind
doubt begins to creep out
infecting this once broken heart
with fear

As bars from a pickers guitar
‘Ol ******* fingers
weaving musical stories
Like poets word harmonies

Piano Man

Piano Man

The moody piano played
The man stood crying in the shower
she closed the door quietly behind her

I'm not dark but it cam to me. So I shared it. Look at it as two new beginnings instead of one old ending

Cues

ymmiJ Apr 2019

Cues

I'm sorry if I hurt you
It's just so many things
not to say, not to do
so many rules, taboos
it's difficult for me too
picking up all these cues
filtering, to find the real you

It's The Eyes Again, Endless Sources

It's The Eyes Again, Endless Sources

They are all gone now
Everyone before you, swept
away in your wake
drifting old sirens drown in
surging aqua blue currents
