Give me a crackling fire

The stars above

Animal sounds all round

Give me my loves

A quick-witted word

Laughter reaching high

Give me all this

And I

Will smile

By cobbled stone did I walk
In boots worn and torn
To see you there

Ever doubt plagues my thoughts
What if my eyes deceived me?
What if my ears were lying?
What if the words I’ve written
Mean little more than naught?

I see in your eyes
A reflection of me
And so much more

Such wisdom
Such strength
Such life as to inspire

And I wonder
If when you look in mine
You see the same

9/23/2021 – after the storm

On September 23, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

The storm brought howling winds and rain
Endless and singing loud
Crashing against the windowpane
The trees outside unbowed

And after it had passed, the world
Grew soft and sat in wait
And in my corner there I curled
Till quiet did abate

9/22/2021 – Wednesday needs

A bit of chocolate,
Hot, for me

9/21/2021 – sweet feathers

Rising with the breath of the earth
Flitting through the boughs
In every hue imaginable
Sweet feathers on wings so free

9/18/2021 – autumn ease

Like swaying trees the drying grasses
Quiver in the breeze
As crisper air upon the wind
Fills me with autumn ease

Here I stand at the brink

Here I stand at the brink
Of something greater
Something brighter
Than me

Here I stand at the precipice
Wanting to jump
Needing to

Here I stand before all
All that lies ahead
Not ahead of that behind

Now all I must do
Is leap

9/15/2021 – sweet silence

In my dreams there is
A world beyond the waking
One with new places
That rhyme with old

In my dreams there is
Calm
Peace, far as I can see
Where laughter reigns

In my dreams there is
Sweet, sweet silence
