Poem: Old Roads

The road ended
So we abandoned the car
Walking down dirt roads
Under the canopy of trees
We exchanged smoke
Between stories of the past
Looking back I’m not sure
Who was trying to impress who

Poem: City Lights

All the stars we see
Aren’t stars at all
They’re just those distant city lights
Letting us know we’re not the only ones
Young and crazy and running the night

Poem: Heat

Stars in the sky burn
But not as hot as I do
When I am with you

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: She Sings

She sings when things are good
She cries when they are bad
Her mood reflects her world
That she wears upon her sleeve
To let the rest of the world know
How to revolve around her

Poem: Wishing Stars

I should have kissed you that night
When we were laying under a blanket of night
Watching for falling stars to wish on
I saw only one and I made my wish
And I wondered if you wished it too

Poem: Walking Away

I see the wild flowers
Showing that it’s spring
I see you with you arms stretched skyward
I know that you’ll be leaving soon

We had some good times
While you were here with me
Being a good lover
I know it’s time for you to be free

Poem: Evening Fire

The fire smolders distant in the East
Ignorant of the sparks here
Trying to ignite the night
In a competition with the stars

Poem: Morpheus

Still moments in the dawn
When blankets still cover
Dreams not yet stolen
By Morpheus into his realm
Soft breath slowing
The wakening heart

Poem: Warmer Together

Our footprints trail behind us
Across the snowy landscape
Past the frozen pond
Alongside the prints of snow birds
Seeking frozen treats
Under the icicles of the pines
