monochrome
Is that you I see past my window shade?

Have you come to visit this lonely soul?

Venture in and stay awhile

Sit with me, as I grow old

 

The chair, once filled with laughing eyes

Has been empty, many years gone by

And I watch and wait for that certain day

When we are together again, to stay

 

Is that you, I see outside?

As my world turns monochrome?

Here’s my hand, I’m ready now

For you to take me home

I really should be fast asleep

It’s funny, I’m not tired

The night has taken over me

The light of day, expired

 

There’s a spider crawling up my wall
He doesn’t notice me at all

Perhaps he’s uninspired
By the fact that I’m not tired

 

My brain is running on caffeine
It really should be in a dream

Is that truly what I desire?
Cause I’m really not that tired

 

I close my eyes and try to rest

Still, visions dance before me

Why do I even bother?

Now where’s that cup of coffee?

 

Sweet liquid gold is most required
Oh, did I mention I’m not tired?

Like clouds floating by, she is windswept

With the flowing air, her dreams well kept

Tranquil waters, soothing, a balm

Bringing her peace of mind, a calm

That joins together, as the night does fall

And nestles her, like a comforting shawl

Gathering thoughts, of life and love

Watching as darkness covers above

Still, over her shoulder she gazes afar

Wondering where her dreams really are

Dragon’s Haze

dragonfire
When fire stokes the dragon’s flame

The blaze just cannot be contained

For his scorching breath against the night

Illuminates, as he takes flight

Carrying on, in a fiery path

He leaves a desolate aftermath

For ashes now, are all that’s left

In a place uncolored and bereft

Of lands once vibrant in their days

Now smoldering, in a dragon’s haze

Gentle as the breeze

She is a breath of fresh air

Fragrant with flora
