The Key

a warning shot triggers the clock heads tick to every second enters the flip of a magnet a distinction to please entropy finds a seat takes the rein broken strings gathered neat provokes an impulse the overture tumbles pushes a soft warm breeze leans in with an ease steals the air I breathe holds the key Terry D'Arcy-Ryan


A Heart That Weeps

I jumped the hurdles
I climbed the rungs
you went higher
I couldn’t hold on

the song you sang
I couldn’t hear
words to the wind
or on deaf ears

you disappeared
without a trace
no tracks left
the trail erased

no warning shot
you were on the move
an empty chamber
an aim not true

when you left
you took it all
no safety net
to block my fall

a broken past
a wall left breached
a soul bereft
a heart that weeps
