As Sure As
The curtain of night falls upon us…
As inevitable as the sun
which sinks beneath the Willow
As sure as the stars dotting
the blackening skies
As sure as the moon giving its
direction to the tides
As certain as life pulsing anew
time and sgain
As certain as age and time having
its way with us
until
The curtain of night falls upon us…

Title: Upon Us
The curtain of night
fell
upon us.
An icy grip
refusing to allow us
to shake the sinister moment
that haunts us from the past.
Darkness is a fatal resting place
where its velvety cover
lulls us into a perceived comfort.
We were lost then
we are irretrievable now
as we pier through the key holes
of locked doors
we tried to secure.
Does memory ever release
its hold
… when darkness is buried
in its shadowed sin?

a young woman
contemplating
the end of life
things are just
too much
for her to bear
as she sits
contemplating
the end of life
she smiles
and thinks
of all those
she will miss
and picks up the phone
and calls her best friend
and puts off the end
until another day
and drinks coffee
and thinks
I have had a good life
and I am not ready
to go
so I guess
I will stay
after all
