And I think that man was I

Heavy heart's dreary
Breastbone crushing resuscitation 
Pressing rhythms flatline
A moldering past
Alas—a day to die for

I Miss You

How I miss you ..
for your smell ..
for gloom of your fingers ..
 for your dreary face ..
The cloud that accumulates in the space of my poems !

Iridescent Glows

Iridescent glows
Shadowed by that dreary area
That once glistened with gold
The touch of a thousand angels
Could not unhinge this
Darkness

Cloudy Day

Cloudy day
   for me,
so dreary,
looking at
the skies
up above
taking a nap
is in sight
dreams getting
ready for me.

Feeling

The day is dreary.
But I sit here teary.
I’m so bleary.
Over my deary.

I got an theory.
It’s so eerie.
It has me weary.
I wish to be cheery

     We are tired of these dreary days.

   Before Old Man Winter rolls in with glee!
