poetry


thoughts.
whizzing through my mind like cars on a freeway.
honking their obnoxious horns and causing traffic jams.
making the peace of sleep impossible to reach.

a slow hour turns to several.
my eyes have adjusted to night.
like an owl, i gaze through the black and gray.
clothes dangle from their hangers.
shoes lay in a heap at the foot of the bed.
the sound of the fan blowing a soft breeze.
my love lays still, dreaming next to me.
familiarity brings its sweet comfort.

my eyes can see clearly.
wishing my thoughts could follow.
