Sudden Chills

An enormous wind crawled into my window sill
I stand still, layered with chills
An energetic aura shapes my ghostly curtains

Work
begins
at sunset; 
Life on third shift
midnight’s my mid day; 
Black out curtains 
at sunrise,
catching 
sleep.

O Hypnos

The west wind is cruel
It appears to stir curtains
When I close my eyes
O Hypnos rush to me 
with
Morpheus and Thanatos.

My coldness wakes me.
Trees blush in first light.
Curtains rustle with breeze.
Bird choir.
Coffee's waft.
Morning rewards.

Open Garden

Swipe away the curtains and gaze into my windows of truth. Frolic through my open garden and breathe in my fragrance of passion.

Snowflakes

Snow falls, curtains closed 
Life changed and the biting
Wind howls and freezes the
tears that blow away with the
snowflakes.

Remembering New Jersey's John Black

In a blue room with red curtains at, their station....
Twas during her latter fall it's early winter of two thousand
Six then seven

Time For a Wish

cold white moonlight drapes
diamonds all around me
dances with shadows
as curtains move with the wind
time to make that perfect wish

Moon glow 
           upon 
   the night stage    

         Dreams 
     hang wistful 
  on the curtains of 
           stars.

Curtains

Printed curtains

(billowing rose
 with a light behind
 & a garden scent)

& if they are not roses
(at least)
they have no thorns.

Self Portrait

Head rearing,
Two windows peering,
Blue curtains closed, dreaming.

Ruby door seeking,
Pearly interior beaming,
From it, poetry teeming.

Lonely House

No one home in this house the cupboards are bare
No carpets to walk upon
No curtains to pull
No laughter no tears, Just memories of happier years.

Pitter Patter Falls (Haiku)

rushing waters fall
as of sweet rhythmic curtains,
draping moss and stone

A Day Without You

Yet the moon high up
Playing hide nad seek
With my half buried curtains
But still I can feel
That warmth beneath my heart
No moment can be without you

Epigram

Epigram
When parks have been fenced in and locked
And school play grounds shut down
 Will children be safe or lose their freedom
Behind dark curtains?

On This Stage

Unfinished
This world
To be conquered
When the lights
Finally go out
On this stage
When the 
Curtains drops
Your majesty,
We shall be 
Diminished

Puppet

the cue was uttered
the closure was made
the curtains fell
hands clapped
and the lights went out
then you crushed
the only puppet you had on stage
me

The Waterfall

The smoke that thunders
                                         curtains of falling waters
                                         natures pounding heart

Weakest Link

Weakest Link

Belt around a size eight waist
curtains waiting to be close
undressed, with a weak link touch
hard like a buckle.

Premium Member What we can’t see

Backstage it’s utter chaos
Curtains rise and perfection unfolds on cue
Much like behind closed doors

Snow falls, curtains closed 
Life changed and the biting
Wind howls and freezes the
tears that blow away with the
snowflakes.
