Weeping Willow
Weeping Willow The Weeping Willow’s tearsPoured into the rippling waterUntil the swollen river crested So full with her griefSwallowing deeply, ingesting her painUntil she no longer protested She came often to share her thoughtsThis time she brought her anguishIt was as if her heart infested The Willow absorbed her criesThe deep sobs of the woundedIt was there forContinue reading “Weeping Willow”

Embarrassment At that one fatuous momentThere was an eruptionOf your putrescent angerSpewing the carnageAn obvious disruption No one saw it comingSilence was broken By the obnoxious soundEven the deadIt would have woken A hush fell over the roomAs mouths gaped wideYou could see minds turningIn unison wonderingWhere on earth could one hide You in yourContinue reading “Embarrassment”
In The Long Run
In the Long Run Like kissing a train Going down the tracks Or catching a falling knife So is the world with you Danger wherever I look Sometimes in fear for my life Jump on the bandwagon Or continue to boredom What is life if not lived? Dull and predictable Lonely and missing Better toContinue reading “In The Long Run”
