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.

Fleeting fear

Sunday silence filled with tears
Born of as yet unknown fears

Will you be a lingering ghost
Or one who stays and loves the most?

Pull too hard and you will go;
Push away, I’ll never know.

A demon walks

Just behind me
Out of sight
In the dark

Haunting footsteps echo
Shadows of dreams
Linger in memory

I feel him
Edging ever closer
His power grows

Departures

I, each time we speak,
Secretly prepare myself,
For your departure.
