After she left me
I stared at puddles so long
A rainbow appeared
Ryan Stone

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
After she left me
I stared at puddles so long
A rainbow appeared
Ryan Stone

The sound of his name
From lips that once whispered mine
Nails scrape a chalkboard
Ryan Stone

The red dust of miles
The slow creep of years, always
My safe place to land
Ryan Stone

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

Into the tide pool
Divorce shaped teardrops tumble
And shatter his face
Ryan Stone

I saw you standing
On the edge of forever
Windmills in your hair
Ryan Stone

In treehouse shadows
Shyly she stepped from her clothes
And I from my youth
Ryan Stone
