A SHADOW IN THE WIND

 

The castle sits in the woods.

Memories fill its walls.

Echoes of laughter

vibrate the still air.

Whisps of smoke float 

between the trees.

A transparent shadow

settles beside me,

with a tap on my shoulder,

a sigh in my ear.

With a wistful smile, I say,

“Goodbye, my love.

We’ll be together again soon.“

CRYSTAL CHANDELIER

CRYSTAL CHANDELIER

Crystal chandelier of mine.
I love your sparkle and shine.
You bring back memories long gone
when life hadn’t been so far gone.
Remember the parties we used to host?
Fancy guests arriving from coast to coast.
Music and laughter were the rules of the day.
But now all that is left are the bills to pay.

ONE SONG

ONE SONG

Sing me a love song.

Rhyme me a sad tale.

The woe of heartbroken lovers

whose tinny cries take to the air.

The needle rides the grooves.

Round in a circle, it goes.

No beginning or end.

Like a tear that refuses to fall.

A song without an end.

The melody echoes through eternity.

One jump and scratch at a time.

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.

THE DEAD'S PLAYGROUND

THE DEAD’S PLAYGROUND
The Dead have taken over the playground,
where children had once played and frolicked.
The Dead wander
past the still swings
and empty slides.
Echoes of voices drift in the air.
Will the children ever return?
Will The Dead ever leave the town?
Only The Dead know.
