A Ghost in the Raindrop A ghost in the raindrop Lives within clear walls Unseen by all but only seen when it falls A ghost in the raindrop Tears down wicked walls Unheard at all but only heard when it hits on tin A ghost in the raindrop Collects in the cracks of walls Unfelt by all but only felt when it touches skin A ghost in the … Continue reading A Ghost in the Raindrop
The photograph by Jessica Sartini of two crows inspired this poem and another I will publish later as it’s not quite finished. When I saw the photo, I absolutely fell in love with it.

Empty park Pigeons chattering What do they say? Are they concerned it’s empty Or do they have no care at all Restless soul A mouse skitters by Running from prey to safety Laughter in the distance Insincere Rustling wind through leaves Quieting the soul Drifting into the blues Falling into the abyss of sleep written 1/26/17 Continue reading Park Bench Blues

I bow to the knowledge … Continue reading I Bow to the Divine in You

There are words you never forget Like a chorus that plays over and over in your head The sounds of your last breathe Why did this road lead to your death? Life, oh so cruel, to steal us away from you Your last words, “goodnight baby” Forever seared into my ears Stained with my tears Held together by my fears How could I go on … Continue reading Goodnight Baby
