Water Draws Near

...Water Draws Near

Solitude, a friend

...Solitude a reliable friend,
one that accompanies me
to the world's end.
He's quiet and shy,
hidden away from others
appearing only when I am alone,
in the depths of the night.

When I am left...

...To the boy who studied by the roadside resto’s dim flicker,  
muffling jeers with pages turned in stubborn hands—  
each “you’ll fail” dissolved into the steam  
of instant coffee, your only shiel...

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

In a feather ruffling frenzy
cooling the flamboyant sunrise
muffling the warblers
with waffling winds

Fever Dream

...In my fever dream, 
I’m united with you.
I sit by the wake
and grieve over something
that I could never
call my own.
Questions pound my head,
leaving me with dizzying thoughts,
muffling the s...

Waiting Eyes

...Wearing a veil
I revisit the past
Hiding from suitors
who hold to me fast

Muffling my words
as shadows befall
Their spirits indentured 
— old feelings recalled

The Dull Nights Spent With Silence

...Everything may appear
in perfect order as this vast universe is,
and behind it I can't hear
anything muffling sounds,
but spot faint shimmers of hidden worders!

Premium MemberPenny Loafers

...Penny loafers; muffling, shuffling, slipping, sliding symbols of a generation.
The rings of alarm clocks, sprints to an office, and evenings  in dance hall gyration.
Low, feminine shoes, a Post-War...

...Everywhere, clusters of clowns gathering about. 
Plotting behind painted smiles 
Dancing to the quickening of our demise.

They gather upon star spangled hill.
Behind giant mahogany desks.

Premium MemberHeld In Suspense

...The morning fog obscures, ironic in a sense,
as water particles are likewise in suspense;
muffling all sound, they coalesce in self-defense,
uncertain of their fate when sunshine does commence.

It Was Peaceful

...It was peaceful down there
Sitting on the bottom, 
Water muffling what I hear. 
A lovely day in autumn 
To explore some water, 
the task at hand. 
To escape temps getting hotter 
By treading l...

Premium MemberNew Beginnings

...I have forgotten how to feel; 
With each punch even more damage done;
The moments I should remember slowly fade; 
Defense mechanism for the ones 
who love too much; 
Possessing the heart of a ch...

Moorland Ponies

...There are wild horses in the heather;
their neighing follows the wake
of hewing wind-wraiths.
The ponies are hardy and stout, they go
in and out of the clouds, slip through
swale and dingle.

...Every moment of every day has its beauty…from the dawning of first light…
But today I’d like to concentrate on the beauty of the night.

Darkness has a subtle way of muffling all sound as it drift...
