Erasing Darkness
The heaven’s softly dawning light
Conflicts with the darkness of night
Reassuring the heart of God’s grace
Despite the melancholy of dusk’s face
Like a comfort, morning comes around
Destroying gloom of night that does abound
Painting the skies in azure...

Twerked
On the park bench in the starkness of a city facing darkness,
I was drinking, feeling tipsy, working on some poetry.

flurrie of flakes.
She hears the music,

She works them both.
They call...

The Gift
The tree outside the window was bare,
its branches black thrust through the air,
like a nightmare in daylight lingers,
its branches resembled evil fingers.
The sky behind was stony gray,
it looked like it might rain that day,
