“Burnt”
Singed around edges,
blackened shards crumble away,
eating at the heart.

Singed around edges,
blackened shards crumble away,
eating at the heart.
Steve D
Unsteady footing.
Care balanced with eager glee.
Giggle and tumble.
Steve D
Clouds tumble over,
wind calms, then sudden release,
shower to drench.
Steve D
Absorb surroundings,
soft sunlight and cooling breeze,
ease the anxious thoughts.
Steve D
Free-flowing plotting,
stalled shy of the finish line,
waiting for The End.
Steve D
No fancy dinner,
being together in peace,
for brief few hours.
Steve D
Best of three, or five?
Game or weekly ritual?
Either way, we play.
Steve D
Pulling himself up,
running, flash before our eyes,
a first year flown by.
Steve D
Eyes closed to the sun,
blinding heat, refreshing cool.
Lost in ebb and flow.
Steve D
Underwater rinse,
Melt away sweat, stress, fatigue.
Ice bath to float in.
