Rain, a trickle, a drip, a tickle, soothing my mind, my pulse, my body, cleansing the earth, hot skin, the sidewalk, misty and clear, windows, the air, my eyes… see heat waves in the aftermath of the storm. Rain, shiny glare, humid tar, and mirages, crystal drops, on leaves, in the grass, my hair… fallsContinue reading “~Rain~”

~My Eyeballs Hurt~
I said I would write a poem called my eyes balls hurt when and if my eyeballs didn’t hurt. Instead, my swollen burning orbs rolled dry for a moment, I had to, I had to get down the silly words… I can’t see my phone right now, my teary eyeballs refuse, but at least IContinue reading “~My Eyeballs Hurt~”
~The Candle~

~Abstracts~
Dark feelings, fantastic meanings, spirits uprising, fantasy lying. Journeys untold, actions unfold, fearsome avengers, shysters and lenders.

On a dusty table I see a page, blurry, penciled words drawContinue reading “~A Poem From The Attic~”

Earth girl treads terra firma barefoot in the snow Ocean boy rides ancient waves to and fro surfing ending always the same. Wind cools each fevered brow soothing the hot soul Flames burn deep strong sure warming earthbound hearts ending always the same. ~ ©Jazzi Ryan Ranes~
