Shades (Terza Rima Sonnet)

There are Shades twixt blue and green Whose light is barely shown
Many ponder what it means

It beckons me in with a deep dark moan.
Begging me to stay
The idea chills me to the very bone

I reflect on my thoughts and start to pray
Looking beyond these eyes
Watching as sunlight changes green to grey

From now on there will be no cloudy skies
With the magic shade to guide me
I lift my heart and soul so I can fly

All this because of green-blue eyes

Even if they sometimes lie...

A Hallow Void

A hallow void

Fills my middle

Blotting out the sunlight

No amount of brightness

Can counteract the cold

A tiny beat that can’t cry out

A hand that cannot reach

I take a breath, control myself

It doesn’t matter, I can’t remember

Emotions are leverage, Emotions are passion

A bargaining chip

Serving only to harm (the only thing that matters)

Get rid of them (Without them we cease to be)

Excess baggage

At Rest

Elbows at rest on the bedspread

Sunlight plays across your hair

Tension has been consumed

Torment is no more

I taste your last sip of wine

It betrays your love of cherries

Wish we could have this moment forever

Time stops as sweat pools in the small of your back

When we come

Together there is nothing else

The world ceases

My world is you
