The Shed
a single candle is lit
in the center
of a darkened room
the erratic flicker
from its withered wick
casts eerie shadows
on the wall,
which dance carelessly
in the ambient glow
worn stone,
cracked and laden with moss,
compromises the walls
of this dilapidated shed
a sticky film
of cobwebs and dust
decorate an empty chair,
where the acrid smell of rust
fills the stale air
a miasma
of desuetude
and many years
of abandonment and neglect
O' this wretched place ...
in the center
of a darkened room
the erratic flicker
from its withered wick
casts eerie shadows
on the wall,
which dance carelessly
in the ambient glow
worn stone,
cracked and laden with moss,
compromises the walls
of this dilapidated shed
a sticky film
of cobwebs and dust
decorate an empty chair,
where the acrid smell of rust
fills the stale air
a miasma
of desuetude
and many years
of abandonment and neglect
O' this wretched place ...

Senescence
the memories begin to fade
like the old oak tree
where we used to play
now withered, decayed
and rotting away
nothing stays the same
like the old oak tree
where we used to play
now withered, decayed
and rotting away
nothing stays the same

Gabriel
A strummer of strings, among other things,
As soft as the thrum of beating wings;
And, when that forgotten son does sing,
O’er forest and fjords, his heart does ring.
He rises with the restless day,
With a hopeful smile upon his face;
Despite the obstacles in his way,
Of his fear, he shows no trace.
On days he doesn’t feel his best,
He grunts and pushes through the pain.
Some days his brain’s a foggy mess,
Left (out)standing in the pouring rain.
An honest man, with stoic stature, ...
As soft as the thrum of beating wings;
And, when that forgotten son does sing,
O’er forest and fjords, his heart does ring.
He rises with the restless day,
With a hopeful smile upon his face;
Despite the obstacles in his way,
Of his fear, he shows no trace.
On days he doesn’t feel his best,
He grunts and pushes through the pain.
Some days his brain’s a foggy mess,
Left (out)standing in the pouring rain.
An honest man, with stoic stature, ...

Lunacy
She once lit up the quiet sky,
Ever shining in her brilliance;
I, enamored by her mystic beauty
And her incredible resilience.
With a supernovae smile—
A vibrant glow upon her face,
She was the brightest of all the stars,
Kissed softly by the lips of grace.
I watched her come and go,
Like the ebb and flow of the ocean tide;
As the growing undercurrent,
Eroded at her sands of time.
Piece by piece she drifted away,
To a place I could no longer reach;
Until she faded from that misty bay,
Someplace beyond...
Ever shining in her brilliance;
I, enamored by her mystic beauty
And her incredible resilience.
With a supernovae smile—
A vibrant glow upon her face,
She was the brightest of all the stars,
Kissed softly by the lips of grace.
I watched her come and go,
Like the ebb and flow of the ocean tide;
As the growing undercurrent,
Eroded at her sands of time.
Piece by piece she drifted away,
To a place I could no longer reach;
Until she faded from that misty bay,
Someplace beyond...
