Half Past Poems

many years they walked hand in hand

they stood strong side by side
...

The Tree

once just an acorn on the ground many years ago
the smallest of acorns had a dream of a life not yet fulfilled
...

oh Twinkie you are my friend
you are always there until the end
creamy filled goodness thru the night
my sponge cake, loving, happy delight
...

She stood in front of the mirror for her reflection to see

'mirror mirror' was her crying plea
...

six more feet is all he thought
six more long hard feet
six more feet to the finish line
in mere moments it would all be over
...

rustling wind and whispers in my ear
she always leans in to tell me things
that no one else should hear
whispers on my mind
...

she is trembling with every breath
her sobbing is racking her body uncontrollably
she cries out as she can't take the hurt anymore
tears stream down her face unfettered
...

every time i dream of chocolate -covered delight
i smell and taste all the flavors in the middle of the night
caramel, vanilla, raspberries and cream
all the flavors of you are what i dream...
...

salt flavored sweat filled tears
finger nails cracked and dirty from digging down
ripped scratched flesh
struggling against the weight of my arms
...
