The Sea Rushes In
He sleeps in thunderstorms, temporarily cocooned from a fathomless death. When his ship sunk he had swam away from a life to an island in his mind. He sways hammock-less as a crashing gale rolls him inside an acoustic guitar, a sea-going instrument that can be plucked only with lovelorn fingers. She was a masthead once one that led him astray. Red grapes and red lips had beguiled him. He ropes...

Dilemma
Rampant reckless retrospect rushes The present blurs in blues The mistakes of the past make me miserable and low And so, I give up and the feeling grows And in wait for time to make things better I push living further into the later. I don't know if it's butterflies and sunshine, later I just hope to pick up...

A Storm Rushes In
A crocodile-hide sunset, a ferrous squall; somethings boiling up there. Storm gulls beat mosquito clouds away as they flee. Ten wild horses corralled in a dumpster hammer my fearless heart. An anemic sky gulps for breath near or far a brawling trample scuffs the earth. The dimming light drips strings of gelid spittle. Vaporous stalactites shred an acrid air.

Time Rushes By
Time, it has been said is neither enemy nor friend It rushes by at an alarming rate to some unknown end We can neither slow its flow nor can we accelerate it It is its own master as it impacts one's life bit by bit We damn it when it refuses to pause when we are late We praise it...

Oxygen Rushes In To Me
Oxygen Rushes In To Me Written By Brett Somers 12-19-16 The audible plunge, On a Somers night. Cleansing site. My hands free of this fight. I leaned back to throw. In my hand a small window. Moon kissed a glow. Eyes fixed beyond what I did know. Wind whipped my ear, Reminding me of things I didn’t want to hear. She’d stretched my heart, And then let it...

Love Rushes By
Once I knew, these wonderful girls I was saved for a time I was foolish, and I fell I would write them a rhyme I was soaring, so very high Then the broken words came I was wounded, I was hurt I was never the same And the world rushed by And the days were slow Love rushes by Alone with nowhere to go Once I...
