steals toilet paper from trash

knock-knock's down the hallway 
sunshine thawing slowly...

curl up away 
from his kiss
the kiss of death
as he lingers
 down black
hallway into air...

Love is a hallway built between two hearts, where the doors to each are always unlocked and with no secret rooms in the blueprint....

It's cold, dark
And gloomy.
This hallway is 
The hall SHE
Was found. . .
.D.E.A.D.
Shot in the
Head and 
Slit by the
Wrists....

A bright Jack-O-Lantern lamp
Sits in my autumn hallway
Shows my love of Halloween
While shedding great light

As the doctors and nurses begin their day,
The cricket chirps resonate
Throughout the hallway;
as if they own all of the luck in the place....

we both are in
the same time
zone but it's
like being in
a large room
where you
are by the
furthest
window
and i'm
all the
way on
the other
side near
the door...

My life's a sweet path down memory lane
Kissing and telling my friends

Running down the hills,
making way.

Finally A Hall Path
One day, I shall rise in the hall of fame.

Eight o'clock in the morning and I
hear two little feet coming down
the hallway to my bedside.
My ears fill with baby
talk, but I know what
he's trying to
say to me.
Wake up
now!!...

I walk alone
Far from life and home
Searching to find my way
Through a world polluted by grey
Not knowing where I began
Withdrawing to find who I am
Lost somewhere deep down
My place is yet unfound...

In April, on a still night droning on. . . .
an infant’s first shrill cry fills a hospital hallway;
six waiting siblings and a dad whoop happily!

Thundering paws pound the floors;
back flips off the walls, resounding.

Claws clicking floors as feline ricochets, 
down the hallway and back.

A cat with cabin fever,
after a long winter snooze....

Topsy turvy lives,
we lead.
We rare ones,
a special breed,
not all can be.
Sunrise is sleep, 
mid-day slumber.
The moon, our luminary.
We awaken 
with lengthening shadows.
Hallway haunters are we....

sensor 
as he walked
through 
the semi-dark 
hallway 
the light-sensitive 
switches told the lights 
to stay on 
as he passed his body forming 
a moving 
interruption 
to the 
constant 
flow of ... shadow...

Teachers Thoughts

Outrageous
Screams that is so loud
Manifesting in hallways
Time to calm boys, girls down quietly
Gather them in the hallway
One, two, three so loud
Be quiet!

There once was a sneeze named “Ker-chew”
His cousin next door was named “Flu”
He found "cold" in the hallway,
And threw up on the walkway,
I do hope he doesn’t find you!

From the cedar closet she reached
for a bundle. Holding her breath,
she pushed her head through, pulling down to her torso.
Scattering moths as she walked through the hallway
Breathing only on the front end of her stride....

through the dim hallway 
to bright blaze of better days
optimistic smile

interesting hues
and all are feeling warmth's touch
in sweet summer's glaze

sultry, rich August
when the roses are teeming
in the orange light...

Sat on the edge of my legacy
The memories we swore would last forever
Vanished in the blink of an eye
An empty hall and an empty room are all that remain
Take me back and launch me forward
Things were warmer when it was colder...

I heard a voice in the hallway. 
Said “Good morning!” 
With a lilt. 
Startled me. 
It is 1:11 a.m. 
Husband is asleep. 
Dog does not speak English. 
It was a little girl’s voice.
I am in the hallway staring. 
Wide awake now......

I stand in the upstairs hallway, hearing
sparks of conversation between my two parents,
my eyes locked upon a distant orange light
that grows in strength as the sun fades.
Our house is a cavern, four souls separate
yet I feel too close....
