A brief romance ends
Breath swept away on the wind
Bound for distant squalls
Ryan Stone

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
A brief romance ends
Breath swept away on the wind
Bound for distant squalls
Ryan Stone

The candle burns low
I read while you doze, outside
The wind and the world
Ryan Stone

Cooling on the porch
Dragonflies in silhouette
Short night, summer moon
Ryan Stone

An ocean away
Yesterday’s sun always shines
In Colorado
Ryan Stone

Summer butterflies
By the young maple, care not
A year is ending
Ryan Stone

Sweet Malibu skin
I’m high on your summer scent,
Drunk on your juices
Ryan Stone

She sets down her pen
Chaos and joy tumble in
Her boys and the wind
Ryan Stone

Under fallen leaves
Flowers out of season die
A lone hawk circles
Ryan Stone

In chartreuse waters
His floundering ship is lost
Eyes across the bar
Ryan Stone
