illinois haze Poems

The clouds ambushed the sun
this night was going to bleed goodbyes
We were the summer's sons
it was her last request before she died
...

The blackest night
in the most subtle room
epitaphs read over candle light
scents that act as fumes
...

Her eyes bear down
obtrusive and intrusive
rain overwhelms the ground
as Christmas sets fire to the street
...

White highlighted by purple and gold
upon our arrival, we nervously walked through the threshold
her arm safely secured
the couple that would never be
...

For once I had nothing to say
no words of wisdom
nothing clever to convey
silence won a round
...

The night is tired
plans have fallen through
due to my head games
and what my heart is telling me to do
...

scented with fumes
with a silent winter breeze
its not what you think
its all for you,
...

Walk upon the worn roads of our fathers with open toed shoes
read what the gospels wrote with a flick of their hand
in a solemn state of inspirational whispers from the one who fights for us upon our shoulder
under His breath find comfort and cause.
...

the miles run beneath
the tired truckers eyes
with a soft calm breeze
and cool clear nights
...
