Summer skies shimmer
As twilight spreads across day
With blazing fire

Author’s Note: I blame my muse for this one, written at 3:30AM. She has been a bit wild lately and definitely needs a good talking to.
Ever wonder the probable cause?
Why women deal with menopause?
Listen closely, yes, come near
Something every man should hear
You’re the reason, for the rage
That we go through, as we age
M.E.N., make no mistake
You give us such a belly ache
Our hormones are so out of whack
There’s even trouble in the sack
Where once the romance was so true
These hot flashes are not meant for you
Forget the gym, no need to sweat
Nighttime leaves us soaking wet
To all the guys who love us so
There’s one more thing that you should know
These changes? Yes, we must endure
For science cannot find a cure
So, expect these rants, again and again
Seems our problems all begin with MEN!

Trumpets blow their sweet perfume
Balm for the senses

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!
