Storm

Rain-poem

When your horizon is burdened
With cold steel clouds,
And winds hurling harsh water-

Remember the sun will still burn
Just behind the veil,
Long after your light fades.

Peals

I can still smell
Your soft Lilac smoke.

The sound of laughter from the bottom of you
Like peals of sunrise
And the smile you left me
When you stopped being here.

Tome

When you look up over your book
And your eyes flash
In the sunlight falling between your eyelashes

I am embers,
In the fire that is you.

Dusk

“You won’t have a chance to forget,” she said.
“The end of the Earth can’t keep you from me.”

And in the last fading glow of sunset,
As the shadows bent forward into darkening dusk,

We said our goodbyes.
