Your melody

Lingers on my skin

Each caress,

Creates,

Resonates,

Through my body

Delicate chords,

Gentlest touch,

Echoing,

Stroking,

As your fingers

Make my body sing

Nature abounding

Clematis and grasshopper

One, with each other

peace-1183279_960_720
Shall I walk outside my door

Unafraid to face the war

Of humans battling one another

Bullets flying, run for cover

Terror plagues this hallowed land

Acts of violence, carefully planned

 

For what? I have to wonder why.

How many tears must we all cry?

How many others have to die?

 

Until this carnage, at last does cease

And once again, we can live in peace

 

Remembering those in Orlando, and around the world, who have fallen to these senseless acts of violence.

Monochrome

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’m Not Tired

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?
