Temporary Stay
Our postponement has expired. I was hoping for more time. The morning sky cannot hide the truth. I see the warning buried beneath the horizon, preventing the sun from rising.

20-20
I watched the dawn with optimism — my hope for sunny days laid out in my dreams. I can feel my spirit contradict my desires because the world’s touch is abrasive. The wounds have blurred my vision. The Winter took its toll, but the groundhog predicted an early Spring.

Shattered
Waking to a dimly lit sunrise Smiling at the hope of promise Day darkens quickly Shadows pummel a shaken spirit Seeking salvation in the darkness Falling towards despair Lying within the foggy evening Wishing for a moment of sleep Unable to breathe

Sifting Time
Dust of Earth… Body of clay… Breath of life… End of days. —– Seconds of anticipating; Everything slows down. Foggy thoughts dissipating; Watching the effects of time.

Regardless
Woke up to a cold Autumn morning; The sunrise was hours away. Sleep wanted me to stay in bed, Thoughts of the moment denied its desire. A routine that was unchanged For so many decades. Ideas to remove the insanity; Destiny is the antagonist toward my best laid plans.

Transpire
Late into the night, we waited for things to transpire. A moment to restore our faith. Sleep brought about temptation. Holding on to the hope of light, in complete darkness. This morning, the sunrise was absent of sunlight. The sky is dull and gray. “Joy comes in the morning,” words spoken by the optimist. We […]

Campfire
Listening to the tides; Beneath the clear night sky as the fire dies. Dissipating imaginations rise but something stokes the flames and the fire burns hot again.

Pot of Gold
We despise the sunset; the night taunts our sanity. Twilight beckons our slumber; we are not ready to sleep. We seek the sunrise; the day pretends to matter. Gusting winds hide our voices; pouring rain drowns our presence. Time spent walking, on the wrong side of the road. Meaning is a pot of gold at […]

Tender Eyes
Waiting for the morning to break this endless night. The seconds prolong this enticing desire. I long to touch your beautiful face; to see the sunrise in your tender eyes. Tomorrow is far away; sleepless excitement magnifies this excruciating wait. I long to kiss your beautiful lips; to see your smile light up the sky.

Whiskey Memoirs
Morning light through Shuttered blinds Sitting hidden Within obscurity. Memories flickering Like an 8mm film; Handwritten notes Creating mementos Within a musty journal. Ticks of the clock Grow silent; Eyes fixated on The bottle of Wild Turkey. Only the aroma remains. Raising a toast, With an empty glass, Towards happiness Recently snatched away. Replaced with […]

Pillow
Morning light strays Across her weary eyes; Feelings quietly disappeared Along with the night. Her hand touches Abandoned sheets Emptiness scars her soul. Unable to face the sun, She lays her head upon Satin memories as His scent upon her pillow Reminds her of the reason To smile.

Moments
I have forgotten the smell of spring rain; the birth of joy a distant memory. Cherry blossoms fell like snow; trampled by the feet of dockets. I was burned by the heat of summer; my body branded “a fool”. The muscle in my chest dried out; love consumed by a lasting drought. I was touched […]

1st Monday – October
The first Monday of October 2015 and the morning sunrise halted by a thunderstorm. I did not sleep well last night so, the pattern of poor sleep pickups where it left off on Friday. Today was “Leg” day, my 3:00 a.m. workout went well, and I am down three pounds from a week ago. It is […]
