One day when you will
Find my journal
You will know by the scribblings
& if you can read in between the lines
Dig deeper the cemetery
Amidst flowers ash & dust
You will know the answers
You will know each day
I lived laughed & love..

was there ever
such a happy accident
as her hello
bumped into my goodbye
& suddenly
we had a lifetime
waiting to be shared
in between

we never knew who sent
the cemetery flowers
for his grave
but for the first time
in forever
he wasn't neglected
he was only
alone
count 148
What else do you expect
In my home
Unread books incomplete sketch
Table stained with coffee ring
Crumpled paper planes
Stardusts on ledge
Journals holding cemetery
Of memories and one or two
Flowers ready to wither
& a poem like a lump
Stuck forever
#becomingfragile
Like
a BIRD
Is she
No longer
ABLE
To FLY
On
HOLLOW wings
FACING the
FRAGILITY
Of life
Sitting
'NEATH
The STARS
Dreaming
Of PLACES
Afar
Now SADLY
OUT
Of reach
As
a MOURNFUL
Song
She SOFTLY
Sings

lost & broken
it all fell,
sliding, lodging
beneath cracks,
self-made some,
others bad karma
perhaps an angry god
on the surface,
dust paved over
by others, their turns,
but i remember
She paints the dust of fantasy
upon her skin so cleverly
all who behold would never know
hidden deep somewhere below
neath the golden grandeur lurks
all the darkness, all the hurts
and scars she buries every day
to hold her black demons at bay.

Movement slows
in cold, not just for fish
stone-eyed & settled
below a dull sky
reflected
I find you looking back
emotions pressed in snow
& struggling
as winter water, almost frozen
still desires to flow
#mpy#micropoetry
ready to set down
this long-held burden,
to ease over the slope
beyond the distant trees
where the deer gather,
watching the snow fall
along the frozen creek
