She remembered so vividly
The calling of the wind
As it swept through her hair
With the whisper of a howl
Swirling about in rose scented air
Gathering thoughts in the breeze
Sharing secrets with her soul

You were electrically charged
Swift bolts of jagged edges
Held up by clouds, but you,
You couldn’t be contained
Too powerful to be harnessed
Too fiery to be claimed
As the gods of thunder roared
And the battle pursued
You fought til the end
Quietly making your way
Across the blackened skies

There was a time
when the words
flowed like a waterfall,
an endless cascade
of letters, gathering
together like waves
in the ocean, crashing
down in a sigh, then
slipping away once again.
This is where my life will end,
like the bottom of a riverbed,
dried up, seared by the heat
of the daytime star, scarred
where words no longer
can bleed brittle memories,
merely to fall away,
an invisible page

Flashbacks, and yesterdays, things that should be
forgotten, but are not, unexplained, pushed away
from what you need, only to find another place, to hide
blanking out pictures, sepia nightmares that won’t subside.
Colorless figures you run from, don’t look behind, they’ll find
you, tucked away, in the dark, you breathe, the only sound
and as footsteps echo through the hallway, doors open.
Hold your breath! Eyes shut! Don’t let the monsters in!

Night had fallen, in a veil of darkness
Mixed with moonlight, shadows called to me
They waited, watched, they edged closer
And fell back again, still, the stars twinkled
As planets smiled, and the ebony sky
Allowed me to dream
