DUSK IT OFF… a poem
“Just dusk it off!”
Were the words that the night said to the earth.
“Spin a little more,
And in the dark,
I will give you rebirth.
Listen to the crickets,
They sense the end of day.
So, dusk it off,
Won’t you please,
And I’ll show you the way.”
LOOK AT ME! … a poem
You’ve hurt me
You’ve humiliated me
You’ve disappointed me
You’ve made me cry
You’ve broken my heart
You’ve broken my spirit
You’ve caused me guilt I cannot deny
You’ve looked at me with contempt, sometimes
You’ve proffered words of poor advice
But I forgive and love you
No matter what
As I see you in the mirror
Looking back into my eyes
FINAL PORTRAIT… a poem
The shards of glass
Show sides of me
I don’t think I was ever meant to see
Memories of loved ones
Gone long ago
Haunt my mind like a salacious foe
Love and hate – empty and full
Reflecting the dark-side in this poor soul
Childhood kindness
Like holding hands
Whispering secrets
And making plans
Making love for the first time
Reflecting through tears
Lost in a world
That thrives on our fears
These are the final portraits I see
As life’s vital essence spills from me
CHASING THE HORIZON.. a poem
“I am not now, nor shall I ever be,
Sated with this life of philosophy!”
Those were the last words I thought I would hear
Whispered from the lips of the one I held dear.
Then a palpable change settled in the room,
And I wondered aloud, “Could this be our doom?”
And a miracle happened, there before my eyes,
As the body before me started to rise.
Not from some ill-fated ghostly-formed force
No, this was the willingness of quite another source.
Stunned, though I be, as I stood there in wonder,
I couldn’t help but smile at the small clap of thunder.
You see, a storm had been raging outside,
As if in this room, where I gazed full of pride.
She then lay back down, content and enlightened.
With her last words she smiled – “I’ll be chasing the horizon!”
ASHES… a poem
The ashes are all that’s left
Of the woman I loved so dear.
These callused hands once held her close
While these lips whispered in her ear.
Now, I say, I love you.
I will repeat those words every day.
And in my mind, I still hear your reply
Because, it was always that way.
KISSES… a poem
For the kisses you greet me with in the morning
For the ones you give me all day
I thank for with a final kiss of goodnight
When, dear sun, you go away
