Sunset Gun

Sunset Gun

~

marksman’s steady aim
secures the sunset gun
day’s journey ends
for the weary sun

quicksilver moon
readies her night’s course
marksman’s sharp eye’s set
his duty he’ll enforce

marksman locks the horizon
solid in his sight
fires the sunset gun
beckoning forth the night

    Lover’s Dirge

    ~

    my despair is vibrant ‘neath the drawn bow
    as chords of anguish resonate pained and low
    my bent being reverberates a suffered thrum
    regret plucks strung memories as teardrops flow

    shadows slink in this dark’ning room
    ‘cross cold silk curtains soaked with gloom
    echoes of a lover’s dirge enflame my sorrow
    a refrain of grief in this gilded tomb
