An old man rocks gently
Lost in his thoughts
In his own little world

An old woman sits next to him
Rocking gently in time
Her hand on his
Lost in her thoughts
In her own little world

They startle
And stare at each other
Wondering who it is
Staring back

They smile
For a mere second the memory is there
And they rock, hand in hand
In their own little world

question-mark-358177_960_720I do not understand
Why time passes by
Yet stands still

Why a moment can be fleeting
Yet we are caught in it

Why we hate to love
Yet love to hate

Is it that we are
Afraid of feeling the heartache
Of time gone by
But unafraid of causing the heartbreak
Without a moment’s loss

Afraid of defining our own worth
Within ourselves
But unafraid to define others inadequacies
As they stand before us

How can you say you are living a life
For the moments, the time
The love and the hate
The heartache and the heartbreak
Yet claim to have no life worth living
I do not understand

I’d like to introduce you to Night Owl Poetry, a part of who I am.  An extension of my regular writing/blogging, my poems are both light and dark, happy and sad, they are reality and fantasy, they are you, and they are me.

The name Night Owl Poetry was a collective from my family.  The reason, well, it’s when I write.  Anywhere between midnight and 4AM, on any given night, you can find me typing away in my office.  Like now.  It’s 2:45AM, I published a new poem called Tainted, and here I am writing to you.  My family knows not to bother me, although they do check in once in awhile. They are my incredible support team 🙂

My poetry is simply me.  I hope you enjoy reading….

Inner scars that never heal

A tear shed

A smile replaced

By a soul blackened

By hatred

Abhorrence

For a time lost

In the billows of smoke

From a raging hell

She hesitates
Asking
Will it be right again
Will it be forever

She opens her heart
Afraid
Wondering
If the yearning is need
Or the need is longing

He hesitates
Asking
Will it be possible again
Will it be forever

He opens his heart
Hoping
Wondering
If the yearning is longing
Or the longing is need

They hesitate
Wondering
Open hearts
Filled with
Unspoken promises
Second chances
