A shining wind twirls
Lazy twisters in her hair
Here, wild roses bloom
Ryan Stone
Cats in love
Lovestruck
He devoted years
To becoming bulletproof
She was a sniper
Ryan Stone
Red Rocks
Riffs of liquid chrome
Howling from a neon amp
Set the night on fire
Ryan Stone
Housework
Her mop’s rhythmic stroke
A bondage unlike the kiss
Of sweet leather nights
Ryan Stone
Untamed
Oh, the wild places
Tattoo parlors, biker bars
Your lips in the night
Ryan Stone
Oblivious
A widow slumbers
As red and blue fireflies weave
Swiftly through the night
Ryan Stone
Hollow
Towering ghost gums
Never show inner turmoil
Until they tumble
Ryan Stone
The Fall
Alone on the edge
One more tree in a forest
With no one to hear
Ryan Stone
Discordant
The sound of his name
From lips that once whispered mine
Nails scrape a chalkboard
Ryan Stone
Mother & Son
He faces the world
Armed with a rose and a shield
His mother’s blessing
Ryan Stone
For C&J
