Halo

Still skating with
Each other
After
All these years -
It's like
He's right
Beside you,
And like a part
Of you
Is with him -
So in a way,
Somewhere,
You are still
Together.

Vocalise

Beauty that
Is timeless.
Art that
Leaves me
Breathless.
That is
What I see
When I watch
History replayed.

Awareness

At this time
I am aware of the fact
That I feel tired, but really
It could just be the weather.
I am also very much
Enjoying - and taking time
To enjoy -
Simple things;
A decade-old novel, and
A decade of poetry.
Both books bring me
Peace
And clarity,
And where one supplies
Me with nostalgia of
Reading familiar passages -
The other
Doesn’t need nostalgia
Because it holds within it
Innocence.

In Combination

They were
Happy.
Some would say
They were perfect.
All I know for certain
Is that they were a
Family.
The wife served her husband,
Husband respected his wife,
Mother raised their daughter,
And the husband left his likeness
Forever in his daughter’s eyes.
