After she left me
I stared at puddles so long
A rainbow appeared
Ryan Stone
Rainbows
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
Byron
The red dust of miles
The slow creep of years, always
My safe place to land
Ryan Stone
Writer
Her darlings are slain
In pools of red ink, her dreams
Swim oceans of blue
Ryan Stone
Reflection
Into the tide pool
Divorce shaped teardrops tumble
And shatter his face
Ryan Stone
days of stone
