10/20/2022 – grow and grow

On October 20, 2022October 19, 2022 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

The days grow short
The air, cool
And ‘neath the starless skies I marvel
That as all dies
The shadows grow and grow

10/17/2022 – all the sweeter

When it has been a little while
Since last I felt your hand in mine
Heard your heart beat
Saw the deepness of your eyes

I want for it all the more

And when I feel it
Hear it
See it

It is all the sweeter
For that little while

10/15/2022 – all’s fair

Fair weather
Is fair until
The ground is dry and cracked

Fair play
Is fair until
Another breaks taboo

Fair chances
Are fair until
Your feet are bruised and bloody

All’s fair
Until
It isn’t

10/12/2022 – autumn

I think of decay
And the chill
And the next warm drink
And the next fire
And though renewal is far off
It does not trouble me

10/6/2022 – a thought on the windowpane

On October 6, 2022October 5, 2022 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

Heaven is not a place
But that moment
Surrounded by laughter
About a crackling fire
With winter’s chill but a thought on the windowpane

9/27/2022 – to the beasts of earth and sky

With a little breath
You slow mine
With the peace in your eyes
You bring mine to close
With the softness of your heart
You let mine rest
As the winter is to the beasts of earth and sky
So are you
To all of me

9/24/2022 – greater

On September 24, 2022September 15, 2022 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

I want but to rest
To turn my back on the world
And its trappings
And its failings
And its wantings

And wrap my arms around this thing
So whole
So true
So warm

And so much greater
Than anything behind me

9/21/2022 – the new beginning

On September 21, 2022September 15, 2022 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

Ash in the air
From a fire burning
Many miles past the horizon

Falls in my vision
Dust of the world

I can smell the ending

But so too can I sense
The new beginning

9/17/2022 – not yet uncovered

Walk with me
In places new
Where we might find
Truths not yet uncovered
By anyone else
Who might walk
There

9/14/2022 – a thousand, waiting patiently

The autumn breeze
Cools my skin
Opens my nostrils
Carries with it
The songs of a thousand beings
That wait patiently
For what comes
