Ducks in judgement

I plunge
Into frigid waters
Hoping to be numb
Dare not speak
Ducks in judgement
Think me dumb
But every time
The silence breaks
I am overcome.

Alba

Raindrops hang
Tentatively
On a barbed wire fence
Grey skies
Where clouds forget to fly
In sore distress
Weep their woes
Upon hard earth below

The Grey

He waters baskets in pouring rain,
The street below floods just the same
And echoes there grey skies above,
A seagull swoops in lieu of dove.
No summer here, or so it seems.
I wish to wake from out this dream!
To feel the sun, warm villas fair,
Oh Aberdonian despair!

Awake

I woke up
Missing
You
Who
Sought me
In silent dark
Now
I want
For you
I am denied
My bed
Empty
My heart
Alone
I woke up
