Poems

Silence

November 26, 2016 By Rick Leave a Comment

Silence

Sudden silence!
No sound…
I move forward
Leaves crackle, shattered.
Pause for their demise.

Breathless, wait;
Silence.

Pounding louder
Heart bursts forth
But
No sound.

Stillness, still
Thoughts explode
Run rampant round
Catch them, quick
For silence.

Shuddering calm,
Breathless wait,
Frozen wave
Crash-loud moment soon.

Currents eddy,
Leaves murmur,
Wind stirring heart-thoughts.
Breathless, wait
…gone.
Chaos howls on.

Why Writers Write

October 12, 2014 By Rick 2 Comments

Why writers writeWords, arranged on page in order march
To tell of things inside
Of distant lands, there people live
Choices they must decide

Dreams they have, happiness want
Morals learned anew
Conflict beat, yet not all
But soul they do renew

Alone At The Window

September 28, 2014 By Rick Leave a Comment

I see people,
Many of them I know.

How do they see me,
Sitting
Over here by the window,
As usual
By myself.

There is much noise,
From these people I know.
But none
From me,
Unless you can hear a thought cry.

It’s time
To escape
And get away from those I know,
Because I don’t
And they don’t.
I leave.
