Pensive Path
As I wonder in the snow,
where I’m going, I don’t know,
I can’t find the trail
amid the wind and the hail
threatening to lay me low.

Good fire
Hot chocolate Christmas
around a roaring fireplace,
melted marshmallows.
Dream come true
Snowflakes
are falling down,
covering the roadways,
blanketing the entire town
in white.
Scrapper
A Charlie Brown tree –
though ragged and worn it is
proudly on display.
Minx
Friday’s a temptress,
teasing for ages before
she offers herself.
A memory of melody
I feel as though
I don’t belong
for long ago
I lost the song.
I used to hear
it blow through my soul;
I held it dear
and now there’s this hole.
The silence bears down
with the weight of an age
and I’m starting to drown
in the pain and the rage.
And now I’ve paid a heavy cost
in scars searching for salvation lost.
Turning point
You wicked Wednesday;
you herald glad tidings but
you still make us wait.
Family
The ties which bind us together
through bright and friendly weather
but when skies turn gray
and those friends go away
the remainder are brothers.
Back in black
Murky Monday morn,
the corpse of a weekend and
we’re all dressed in black.
