THE BLUE




The blue sucks me in.
Velvet petals caress my face.
A buzzing bee whizzes past.
I’m inside the midnight blue darkness.
My head spins from its heady fragrance.
Lines of poetry beg to be written.
Will I yield to the blue darkness?
It’s a trap I cannot escape.

MY EYES SEE



My eyes see the light beyond
where humans hurry to and fro.
My eyes see the darkness inside
where humans have no pride.
They fight and attack each other
with no regard for their species.
They rant and rave over their passions
with little concern for the welfare of others.
My eyes see the good and the bad,
leaving me all too sad.
Meow.

IT WAITS



It waits.
Currents of ice.
Splashes of salt.
Thrashes of rock.
It waits.
Swirling.
Circling.
Endless.
The water waits for me.

FLY FOR US

Free as the wind.
Freedom reigns clear and true.
Fly like the wind.
For the red, white, and blue.

A MERE REFLECTION?


Source:

A reflection of perfection.
Better than the original?
It moves.
It shimmers.
It elongates.
It stretches.
Distorting the original.
A reflection.

RIDE LIKE THE WIND



Take me far.
Take me long.
Take me wide.
Ride like the wind.
Past borders.
Over hills.
Through valleys.
All the way to the sea.
Nostrils steaming.
Muscles bulging.
Ride like the wind.

PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN


Chair

Down the rabbit hole we go.
Far down beneath the earth’s surface.
Where The Dead wait for their savior.
Arms extended.
Reaching for us.
Mouths held open in silent cries.
As we fall farther.
Deeper.
Past the point of no return.
THE DEAD GAME 

JUST A HINT OF ME




A hint of me.
A little green dab.
A dark blue stroke.
A few black lines.
That’s all you need.
Just a hint of me.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL



What can be better
than sitting on a bench
in the warm weather, 
watching people, and
daydreaming?
Nothing.


Warm weather,
soft winds,
pretty blooms,
are all part of the
best time of year.
Welcome to spring.

Spring = Flowers.

Hope springs eternal.
Enjoy the new season!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR


Flowering tower.



Spring is in the air.
I feel the sun on my face.
I can smell the pie baking.
I hear the birds chirping.
 I can even taste the warm
and salty air.
Bring it on.
I’m ready.
 

BURN




Burn baby burn.
Your blood runs hot.
Oozing down the stem.
Dripping to the ground.
Leaving mounds of red.
Where buds will spring up.
And take their rightful place.
In the world of the nonliving,
They will fight for him.
The evil one.
The Dead one.
THE DEAD GAME


ECHOES OF THE PAST



Take a walk inside,
into the dark rooms,
where cobwebs fill the corners,
and empty rooms carry
the echoes of the past.
Come and see
what humanity left behind.

LOST

Nothing is sadder,
Nothing more shameful
Than a book not read.
A book lost to time.

WORDS

Don’t let moss grow between your keys.
No webs to swirl around the letters.
Greenery belongs outside.
Words belong inside.
On the page.
In the book.

A FEW STEPS TO PARADISE


Photo taken by @bradytookanotherphoto.

A few steps to paradise.
A hop.
A skip.
A jump.
To the shore.
To the sand.
To the ocean.
To paradise.
