The sun forgot to set today.
It hadn't set an alarm. The blackberry packed up.
It continued on auto pilot without a thought
for the moon
that kept waiting, waiting.
----
Lightning struck
Ashes of roses
all over cream satin
Thunder stood by
the rain held its own
Clouds applauded
As the stars undressed her
----
Edgy icicles
Shattered snow
Rosewood hours
Stark and slow
Fire and water
Friend and foe
Your time is up
with miles to go
------
The chocolate woods
Didn't blink
Soot ablaze
Castrated cold
He clothed himself
bit by bit
with dying embers
of the phantom storm
A rusty road raced by
Pale pink
Placid pucker
An army of ants
A lone gray sky
watched
them break.

Another observation..you stay closer to home than I do...hmmpf ;)
cherie: couldn't resist having a little fun. Its meant to be slightly ironic and out of place and throw any sentimentality out of gear :P
aradhita: you been running in the storm?
and what home?
I am a 14 hour flight away from where you are I think. :)
hmm... don't know what, but isn't something amiss? ...
(Perhaps its just in the air--something macro :/ )
Nonetheless, pretty good =)
