The

Salty ocean waves

Were

Flooding my eyes

I

Tasted raindrops once

It

Began to rain

The Journey Home

The forest is dense with the overgrown bush, off the beaten path. I lost all sense of time during this walk, and sense of direction. I’m lost in my thoughts, since my memories are blowing in the wind.

I have no recognition when the day gave way to darkness. The clouds are menacing and casting a thick blanket of shadows in the woods. The tree branches are waiting to attack me, with outstretched limbs.

A calming misty fog dampens my hair, and sweats runs in my eyes. It’s uncanny; yet peaceful.

My ankles are cold. I bend down to pull up my socks, only to see I am barefooted. The moonlight cast a pool of thick, dark blood on both of my feet.

I look behind me. There are tracks of blood that have been following me. I think I’ve bled out.

I’m dizzy seeing red. I’m going home.

Good night world!

A Line Of Silhouettees

The laundry is finished.

Hung…

The breeze is warm, clean and

Crisp…

A line of silhouettes have

Evolved…

Into the most

Uncanny…

Various forms of

Me…

Gently blowing

In…

The air

I…

Am actually watching

Myself…

Being shoved

And…

Blowing up

Only to

Evaporate…

In the

Sky…

This just

Can’t be

In…

My mind.

When my

Eyes…

Can see

Through…

Dive Deeper

I scribble you a

Note…

Before I go

Out…

To sea or take a flight

Seas…

Many times are

Likely…

To be as deadly

As…

Earth can be

In…

Flight you will see

Earth…

Annihilate world

Seas…

You see

Dive Deeper

Is…

Only shared between

You and I

Do…

It quickly, do it

Now…

I Am Mud

I smell the rain before it drops from

Heaven…

I feel the droplets

Gentle…

At first; cooling me on a hot day

Massaging…

The rocks in my back

Now it’s stronger and demanding

Saturating…

The Earth of my being

For….

I am the soil

Water drowns the tiny holes

Insects…

Have dug for their home

My…

Only supply for air

Once…

My soil becomes

Wet, dark and ugly

Splatters…

I’m the remaining

Mess…

For I am

Mud…

Clouds

Clouds darkening…

The brightness of the day

I heard this was happening

Everyday that I was away

While I was blessed

With sunshine…

It was storming and

Flooding along the bay

God gave me time

Safe travels and stay

During my getaway

For fun

And play

I thank you…

A Stargazing Castaway

I was at the bottom of the ocean

Floor…

The sea didn’t drown me

Waves…

Washed me ashore

Disoriented…

I lay in the crest of the

Moon…

Blinded by the bright shooting

Stars…

Playing on the Milky Way trying

To reach the big dipper before it goes

Away…

Evil Comradery

The hose is spraying at full blast

The loud squashing drowning the screams

Of someone’s loved ones begging for help

With perpetrators hearts colder than

The chilly water, they stand banned

Together, with the deadly hose in hand

Voices become weak as bodies sink

Havoc in the street is eradicated

Midnight At The Lake

The lake

Temptation

Seduction

Alluring eyes

Misty rain

Moist lips

Fog eases

Down gently

Engulfing us

During our

Passionate midnight

Kiss…Goodbye

Ride Me

At the river deep, and wide

Rough rapids jump on the humps

Of their forerunners, for a quicker

Ride into a calmer

Sea
