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: Ode in this Moment

Time claims all fools who rebel
Against its tireless march
Rebel we must
Rebel we will

Raging for the one thing
That transcends the ages
Stories of love for the ages
Stories for love for us

Poem: Snow Kissed

Your kisses fall like
The subtlest of snowflakes
From February skies

Poem: Felt Hours

Walking through old memories
Where the heat of your body
Kept me warm between sheets
Soaked with the sweat
Of our passions intwined

Laying in a bed grown cold
By your absence here

Poem: Still Hoping

I packed my bags and sat in the car
With the engine idling and me thinking
About global warming while waiting
To see if you’d show up laughing
Bags in hand sun hat on ready
For some big adventure

Poem: Comma Haiku

Words withheld by lips
A comma pause between us
Unfinished story

Poem: Serious Talk

She’s got that need to talk look
Though her red lipstick and done up eyes
Are communicating something else
When she says she wants to talk
About needs while my mind wants
To talk about wants

Poem: Shatter Star

A single star in the night bares your name
From that night you asked me to pick one
To remember you every time
I looked up and you weren’t there
Holding the knowledge
That the star was closer to me
Than you would ever be again

Poem: Undefined

The sound of the evening
Of a beach with her standing there
Moon behind her hanging
Like a halo around her hair
Done like she always did it
In that favorite shirt of mine
Holding her in all the right places
