Reverberations

Thunder rumbled
in the distance
I felt humbled
by existence
As rain patterned
all that mattered
was near and dear

Unrequited

I said “Love you,”
which seemed okay,
since it felt true
for me that day. 
Though you, my dear,
were insincere
with your ardour.

Happenstances

I sit and read
and lose the day
having no need
to run away
Convivial
yet trivial
Lucky for me

When I Grow Up

I’ve not much time
to figure out
whatever I’m
to be about
Options to try
are less as my
career end nears

Up and Away

A beautiful
balloon aloft
as meaningful
illusions waft
through thoughtless air
with dreamlike care
to fly so high
