My stories

Becalmed

This morning all my thoughts are gone. Gone to wherever thoughts go when they are lost in their own seas. No longer tossed by vindictive waves that churn and boil in useless fury.

Discarded

To search for what is found, there by the edge of roads and pathways. Places where time is still against the movement taking all the world to somewhere else, just the same as they left

Dropped

A day gone is a day lost. Lost and gone forever. We cannot walk back to that day, dropped only a short week ago. Pick it up, dust it off, and smile at our good fortune

Remembering

I remember such younger days, and how beginnings were made to grow out of what could be found nearby, left within easy reach of childhood. and what small clever hands could make

Stain

You stood there, in front of me still with a desire I didn't deserve, or understand, but only shared. Your head bowed down staring hard at threadbare carpet where we had come together.
