A new sun rising
I follow the moon to bed
Kookaburra dawn
Ryan Stone
Graveyard Shift
Sea lore
From deep sea trenches
Fiery-tasseled oarfish rise
A distant gong chimes
Ryan Stone
Windswept
Over the wild sea
Trade winds frolic among sails
A gull’s mournful cry
Ryan Stone
Cats in love
A shining wind twirls
Lazy twisters in her hair
Here, wild roses bloom
Ryan Stone
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
Night Music
Blood moon,
cold witness to
this tune
I sing
to the night. I’m
missing
old dreams-
her face, pale as
moonbeams.
Ryan Stone
Salute
Silent tears at dawn
My half-mast heart in tatters
London Bridge is down
Ryan Stone
days of stone
