Shadows

Snippets here 
bits there
crackles and
pops on
some line
that leads
to nowhere
gauzy half
veiled memories
dusty things
what I’ve
come to
imagine Heaven
is like
when trying
to remember
life here
now gone
and of
little use
such are
the shadows
of love

Path

It’s always easier 
to look back
and connect dots
than it ever
is to look
forward and see
the path in
other words had
you never been
there then you’d
never be here

Dawn

And blue 
from black
slowly creeps
like one
eye opening
seeing smile
and soon
the other
to soothe
dry lips
with kiss
much like
the sky
will do
to night

Nothing

It’s funny this 
peace I’ve found
for it’s nothing
no wonder why
I’d never found
for I’ve always
been on the
lookout for something
and this well
this isn’t that

Concoction

Sometimes early 
sometimes late
but it’s
always sometimes
lights on
heat up
water run
then gurgle
of teapot
three spoons
of one
three spoons
of another
some water
and stir
more water
more stir
such is
this stuff
that I
call morning
