Her darlings are slain
In pools of red ink, her dreams
Swim oceans of blue

Writer
Reflection
Into the tide pool
Divorce shaped teardrops tumble
And shatter his face
Ryan Stone
mono no aware
A gold harvest moon
Swells over night’s shadowed cliffs
Cohen is singing
Ryan Stone
Wanderlust
I saw you standing
On the edge of forever
Windmills in your hair
Ryan Stone
Bloom
In treehouse shadows
Shyly she stepped from her clothes
And I from my youth
Ryan Stone
Sluggish
From elsewhere to here
The stagnant crawl of a snail
Pandemic postage
Ryan Stone
Dappled
Mist drapes the morning
Sable thread lacing through white
A lone Magpie weaves
Ryan Stone
Secluded
lost in river-song
tears fall unnoticed, distant
a lone heron’s cry
Ryan Stone
Plum Rain
a world of raindrops
blurring my window, mauves bleed
to wintery blues
Ryan Stone
days of stone
