Darkness follows me
Light reflects me
People dissect me
Through my emotions
Drowning in the ocean

Wild Fire

The heat takes away my water,
The Flames lick my skin,
The smoke swallows me up.
My tenants flee from the unwanted guest.

Agent Orange
Tinging lush, green foliage
Breath-taking shadow
Swallows mercurial moon
Invisible orb hovers

Autumnal Sadness

Swallows migrate South...
dark birds in a starless sky
mourning motherland.

Frog sits on a rock.
Swallows a huge frightened fly.
Slips and falls, kerplop!

dark house sitting on a hill,
pine trees whisper,
all is still,
shadows creep across the lawn,
absorbing sound
as silence swallows up the dawn

The poor thing being so deaf hurries

When the hungry ocean swallows it,
even its tears refuses to be witness

Premium Member YOU'RE STILL HERE

I feel you when
the night swallows my joy.
As the sunlight hits my face
I remember your smile.
When the wind blows a kiss
I know you're with me.

Alien Territory

alien territory
the visade is
mandatory- it's
easy to forget
underneath we
have let our
selves fade from
sight- just as
dawn swallows
night.

Premium Member Adieu

On the east window
A large reflected ball,
Nature's alarm call
In a patch of sky
That meets the horizon
Where swallows circle-
Then say farewell.

Nebulous Horizon


Mist swallows the edge~
sky and sea blur into one,
no clear path in sight.
Yet I walk where light once fell,
trusting stars behind the haze.

Swallows herald Spring
Like the Equinox heralds light...
My love approaches
The open door of my heart
With the light in his
Eyes glistening destiny.

Old age
Muted rage

Broke hips
Bitter lips

Happy thoughts
Are Fought

Sunny Days
Turn away

Why lie
Will die

Nursing home
Swallows groan

iridescent wings
along with orange bellies . . .
sky sweepers soaring

the sharp warning cry
when a nest of birds I spy . . .
barn swallows dive-bomb
