forlornity

fresh blooms

litany

sugared sand

dog days

dog days of summer
air lies heavy on your skin
crickets sing dirges

tea

rain

rebirth

secret

he pours the depth, then...

                           sultry darkness spills over

                   ....sweetness is tasted...

blue patch

dominated sky, gray clouds

blue patch bursts the seam

nature's eye opens

awakening

consciousness approaches slowly.

as the morning light approaches the sky,

she breathes softly next to me.

the birds awaken and greet the dawn...

she rolls into my side, hiding her head under my shoulder,

remaining locked in Morpheus' arms.

I lie quietly, listening to the cadence of her breathing

remembering the moments of her life

since she first entered mine.
