The good times

Fire crackling
Pages turning
Cocoa steaming
Babies sleeping

These are the good times

Questions unending

Lost in frantic thoughts

Hoping for a breath

Of peace

A hoppin’ good night

On one hoppin’ good night

I sat out with my dear

We drank to sunset red

And kissed into the morn

Memorial

On May 28, 2018 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

And when remembering heroes

Remember too their peace

Their carefully chosen words

With never brag nor boast

And hold them in your hearts

(That much remains the same)

Violence do not glorify

They never did.

About the trees

On May 21, 2018May 21, 2018 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short Poems1 Comment

daylight environment forest idyllic

What is it about the trees

That so fascinates my mind?

What is it about their branches

That makes me want to climb?

What is it about the leaves

That makes me want to paint?

What is it about the trees?

Summer noise

Drips and swishes

Howling dogs

Distant roaring engines

Sweaty faces

Brightest sun

Sights and sounds of summer

517 – Dry them for you

Your tears

Let me dry them for you

Your scars

Let me heal them for you

Your broken heart

Let me mend it for you

Your hands

Let me hold them

Here and there

I stop to wonder

Sometimes it hurts

Others it changes me

Words!!!

Words, words, words

Forever we’re mired in words

Some are true and some look it

But all just sound like words

512 – The rain

The rain falls hard

As on a tin roof

It drowns out all

But thoughts in one’s head
