A warm touch, a soft caress
stroking, calming
like a sedative
In the arms of a lover
there are no walls, no
barriers to break
Only the fortitude
of knowing you are
safely nestled in tranquility

Gazing out my window
The gray skies fit my mood
The air heavy with the threat
Of a storm, but is this fury
Brewing inside me or is it
Just a lingering haze
Not really worth my energy
And I impatiently wait for the
Rain to wash it all away

I see you sitting there
staring into space
A faraway look
that tells me your wheels
are turning, spinning
at an extraordinarily
fast pace but
You say nothing when I ask
what you’re thinking about
as you drift further away

No light to guide my way
through the blackness
that leads me
Up darkened steps
Around blind corners
Feeling the way along
Cold hallway walls
Not even the warmth
Of first morning light
Can illuminate the gloom
Or fill the void
Of nothingness
As the darkness lingers

blackboard, chalk dust, mind, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, questions
Like a piece of blackened slate
Waiting for the caress of chalk
My mind is like a blackboard
Information carefully written
Always looking for answers
To questions skillfully asked
Yet too soon erased
With the sweep of a hand
Leaving only a cloud of dust
