Words

Maybe I write to purge myself of feelings; failure regret disappointments that made me this harsh desert. So maybe each word a band-aid healing my soul turning desert to garden. Each line a spoonful of soil, each verse a seed, each poem flowers. How long until my garden blooms?

Things the Road Shared With Me

See the road extending forward
like elongated arms bound together
luring us towards these adventures;

Electrifying sunsets
splashing the sky with hues of red.
Brightest moon
with glimmering stars like shattered glass overhead.
Towering mountains
with winding roads and scenic views below outspread.
Snow-draped fields
inviting us to jump on its soft cold bed.
Stretching trees
Swallowing sun light and branches rustling secrets unsaid

Listening to the soft rolling murmur
of rubber on asphalt whisper further,
what will you show next I wonder,
as the road climbs and bends ahead.

Fire Ants

I remember trembling the first time I held your hand and stuttering, searching for words when I first called you at home. Most of all, I remember walking past you with that feeling in my gut, but not of butterflies, more like a thousand red fire ants relentlessly scurrying and marching, consuming me from inside. And dear, those fire ants have scarred me forever.
