Poetry from the Road

 We took a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and I wrote a little . 


Barstool 

The barstool closest to the door, that’s my seat 

When you walk through that door, I’ll be the first to see

Its the same door I last saw you walk out 

In my mind, tonight is the night there’s no doubt 

Same as last night and those before 

I tried to call time and time again

But your phone must be broken

 Coldness  has sunk to my core 

But this glass will keep me warm 

Until your embrace takes its place 

It’s 10 minutes past last call

No face but the clock on the wall

I leave my seat but not in defeat 

Because tomorrow i know again we will meet 



Soul Staring 


I stare into the sun reflecting on the water 

It glares  like a golden road home 

Leading you back to me 

Over high tide and rough sea 

Are you coming 

Can you see the path 

Does my love keep your boat afloat 

Or did your heart sink with no life coat

I stare into the moon reflecting in the water 

A path , dark, but lit

A soft glowing  beacon 

To the lost ship 

Or the heart with no compass 



The Morning Breeze

The Morning breeze 

Slowly drying the nights rain

Carrying the fresh air scent 

Greeting your day with a cool calm 

And a warming kiss
