Poetic Fragments
Leafless trees
with
branches so desperately
reaching
out
for the twinkle
of stars
so far above
in this
early morning sky
while
a cold wind
whistles
through broken windows
along blocks
of emptied tenements
~ ~ ~ ~
This
is
the sound
of
unheeded prayers

crickets serenade
full moon shining far above
tomorrow beckons

just a distant memory

takes such great umbrage

boring day
counting the floating petals
atop mud puddle

twelve-o-three am
footsteps down the avenue
sunday’s reveler

Little paradise
along the shores of salt creek
where wildflowers
bloom along pathways
waterwheel turns on….on
hundred plus years strong
Water’s echoed laps
grind over the waterfall
breaking on stones far below
frog’s songs along shore
voices of the past echo here
mindful of rich history

early morning hours
chirping crickets serenade
under the moon light

Poetic Fragments
Desolation’s angel
with
those
far away eyes
staring out the window
how many light years to the moment?
Longing expression
he
seems
counting and regaling
memories, places, what was
now here, only counting growing shadows
Brown tiles
yesteryear’s
pride
please find solace
and a few good friends
who still can understand
don’t let him drown
along with all these melancholy thoughts…memories
amongst
the
empty tables
chairs
coat racks
in
this
lonely distance
at
the quieted end of a long room

the oak trees
dancing under the moonlight
this midnight tempest
