The vicodin takes its toll; a candy that lasts four hours. -------------------------------------------- His eyes, a clear blue ocean,full of hidden secrets. -------------------------------------------- Your arms, my home away from home. My safe haven and my heaven. -------------------------------------------- A blanket I cuddle into, your encouraging words wrap around me, keep me warm. -------------------------------------------- Kittie Calico in its colors, she finally gets to play. Sprinting across the lawn, she kicks up fallen red and gold leaves. A child spotting new toys, she rolls around and paws the flowers. Ice on my skin, a chilling breeze blows in. But she doesn't care. From the moment that door opened, and she slid out, she was free. If only for ten minutes, she was free. -------------------------------------------- Love Swing Built by the hands of my father, the wooden swing is merely a branch in a tree, swaying in the wind. The rarely used love swing, darkened over the years, rocks as if yearning to be occupied. -------------------------------------------- Lonely Tree A lonely poet, searching for something higher, the beautiful tree stands by itself, Swaying its arms in the air, as if dancing with the sky. Standing tall, the aged tree hovers over me. Its green leaves turned to colors of red, orange, and gold. The season changes the tree, its leaves whither to the ground, but only to leave a beautiful, colorful pattern over my lawn. |
