Drenching doubts that block riposte.

As the cobalt sky and ocean meet
On the...

asking for a cookie expecting to be told it would spoil her dinner

stones skipped on poetic ponds
Not looking for or expecting

Swaying dark shadows upon my reverie
Glimmering through forest-green leaves

Mists and downpours;
Torrents, cloudbursts

Floating, falling,
Coming down
In buckets.

Clutch tight a sign “The Seagull's Squall”

remembering my many lovers, one and all.

Eyes full of rainy deluge, drenching in cold, over...

there is fire in her eyes
and thunder in her step
rage rumbling reckless
She's livid
a live wire of fire
charged
She's on the move
To punish

Her dreams entangled in twisted ropes
perturbed fate of banished desires
innocence shriveled in raging fires
they haven't known her bubbling hopes.

Her existence exhausted in spiral cobwebs
blazing her...

Long long ago in a lonely lovely hill
When earth was young, handsome and green
Besides the meadow near the curly winding flow
There stood a tree proudly...

Hiding alone in the shadows

guarded, trusting no one

silently watching, waiting

Can anyone save him?

His vision clouded, blurred

The sunless skies have him confused
