Poem: Red Shoes

Striped socks and red converse
Comfy blue jeans
A slightly oversized sweater
The uniform of the girl of my dreams

Poem: Winter Sleepers

sleepers hang frozen
on icicle dreams melting
to snowy slumber

Poem: Walking on the Edge

She walks along the edge
Where consciousness crashes
Into the wilds of dreaming
Where the line between the two
Become uncertain as she dances
Confidently on the wire

Poem: No Sleep Coming

Looking for sleep when it can’t be found
Thirsting for slumber like a nomad
Out in the desert that would trade
My last thought for some sleep

Poem: Running the Night

On the night air rises
The songs of our youth
Taking your hand
We take off down the road
Thinking maybe tonight
We will find some magic
And we can be that young again

Poem: Kilmarnock

By the clock it was 5:43 am
On a Tuesday in summer
We had driven all night
Breaking the speed limit
To get to the coast by dawn

Sitting on the hood of your car
Watching as night gave way

Poem: Paradise Cove

A ring of light circles us
As we tread water
In this place you visited once
In a dream where we moved
Silent through the waves

Poem: Coffee Dream

Hot and steamy
Rising form the black depths
The vapor roils and curls
Like the curve of your lip
