Short End Of A Chapter Poems

Let's just end it and call it day
We'll lose touch and go our separate way
the end of us, the end of our chapter in history
where we end up is still just a mystery...

A book about a broken man
Is what I sit and read
A tale of the ups and downs-
A game of love and greed

I turn the pages readily
And languish in the hope
But at the end of every chapter
His dreams go up in smoke

This book is sad and beautiful
The paper worth the tree
But who would think that with its ink
The book is reading me...

I see you placed on a shelf
My protagonist 
Inky smudge on my heart
Your paragraphs carved
We have laughed and loved 
Through chapters lived
Story cast and relished
My parchment of hope 
Perched higher than the others
Friend of mine bound by leather 
Your pages have shaped me 
Creased and wrinkled
Blemished stained page
I do cry alone
Farewell my story
For our chapter has ended...

headlights streak dark skies
street lamp diamonds
last load of blankets in dryer
water laps on imaginary shores-
the glass door is locked
dog-eared book read over and over
an hour since the last guest checked in
stories of another time and place shared
the end of another chapter
television news- same story, another day
computer screen flickers
message placed on social want ads
meet-up requested
a cup of coffee
or more...

imagine of    fairies, unicorns, and
   leprechauns.

Speaking of leprechauns,
    I once    saw  a man    who
quite    looked   like
one,
     except the     fact    he   was tall
and didn't     carry   a magic wand.

His eyes
    looked as   though they    had seen
time's   end of the    chapter.

He     seemed calm,
even   when    rain       drummed
on his    black, Victorian  hat.........
