One Forget Me Not

A single lonely flower
falls to the ground
followed by a single tear

A reminder to her
from him of the
love the two shared

A note is the last thing
to fall from her hands
"I'll love you to the end
Forever your Forget Me Not"

The last thing he gave to her
is the last thing
she gives to him

Slowly they lower his
casket into the ground
along with one lonely
forget me not

Fear in the Darkness

a tiny red ember in the darkness
brightens and then dims
a small cloud of smoke
rises into the sky
voices in the night
carry across the empty field
unknowingly being watched
by a stranger in the shadows
the clouds dissipate
and the moonlight reveals
its secrets of the dark
there is a scream
the sound of fast foot steps
minutes pass that feel like hours
finally it is all over
only silence is left
a small ember in the darkness
brightens and then erupts
a large cloud of smoke
rises into the sky
a stranger hides in the shadows
as the clouds once again
hide the secrets of the moonlight

junker

broken down
left for dead
covered in rust
and shattered glass
all that is left
is what i know
because those who did
have now forgot
no more music
or happy laughter
my days of adventure
have long been out numbered
now i sit
sore to the eye
watching the world
pass me by
