Numbers

We swapped our numbers once,
Strangers becoming friends.
Each key punched a promise
Of many good times to come.

long night calls
in empty halls
deep dark secrets
flooded these outlets
thoughts linked unworded
hidden dreams unfolded

You change your number now,
Friends becoming strangers.
Finger hovers above 'Delete'.
Relenting, your whispers linger.

desolate halls
abandoned outlets
a nightmare unfolded

Foolish

Messages sent repeatedly ignored
Like some desperate fool
Words pleading so wildly for a response
Like a kneeling beggar

False promises accepted knowingly
Foundations built on hope
Soon all but snatched away from underneath
Heart crumbling all alone

Cries falling deaf on an unhearing ear
Silence unbearable
Solitude pales beside grudging ignorance
A silent acceptance

Day

it rained. dark and gloomy.
peals of thunder
flashes of lightning
a chill wind blew
shiver. shudder.

it shone. bright and cheery
angel of love
mortal of hope
a warm glow enveloped
squeal. sigh.

it whispered. tranquil and quixotic
beauty of dreams
seal of life
a secret pact made
wish. wonder.
