I Walked Away

You held me close
I gasped for air
placed me on a pedestal
and left me there

You nurtured me
we grew apart
gave me your soul
I broke your heart

You said you loved me
ten times a day
begged me...don't go
I walked away

Shhh...

beep..beep..beep...
his alarm clock
disturbs my sleep
turning over, grumbling
tangling the sheets
shhhh.. he whispers
fingers gently brushing
against my cheek
its ok.. go back to sleep

Waiting Out The Storm

FLASH

one mississippi... two mi...

CRACK

hiding in the den
wrapped in a blanket
like a little kid
waiting for the trees
to come crashing down

FLASH

one mississippi...

Food Chain

spoiled birds
scattering their seed
fat chipmunk
