Midnight Melancholy

MIDNIGHT MELANCHOLY

Night’s slow fade
of blue to purple
sends my heart
halfway ‘round
the world to where the sky is
filled with your mourning.

FRIENDSHIPS ARE MADE OF THIS
(a shadorma)

Hot fudge shake
made with creamy fudge
and homemade
vanilla
ice cream. Want some? I’ll even
give you the last straw.

EVERY LIFE NEEDS ITS OWN LAUGH TRACK
(a shadorma)

Not the kind
that sounds fake or canned;
but rather,
the laughter
of friends – the kind that reminds
us it’s good to laugh.

SAVED…BY A PAL

In a world
surrounded by people,
I was lost and alone.
Until I was found.

STUCK LIKE GLUE
(a shadorma)

Between a
rock and a hard place,
I found you.
In a heap
of brokenness, you found me.
Like glue, we bonded.
