A Garret Poet: A Garret Poet

Postkart zu einem Freund

Postkart zu einem Freund

A post card sent to you, my dearest friend,
As azure skies now blend into twilight,
An end to this another sunny day,
And I can feel the scent of Black Forest trees
Relaxing aches within my hiking limbs…

Salty seas mingle with fish and chips
As pebbles crunch; sliding between toes
Thunder grey seas reflect
The fate of slate grey skies
Upon ocean-worn stone…

Confused thoughts consort with nightmares
And I just want to sleep…
