Unrequited Love

Unrequited Love

By: James Dubeau

I walk alone

Along a dusty path

Headed toward the horizon

The desert

Then the sea

And the edge of forever

A land I do not know

A future unsure

She doesn’t know

She doesn’t care

My words go unheard

My gestures unseen

Just as the emerging stars

Twinkling above

Cannot comprehend

My screams

Does it even matter?

Anymore?

Did it ever?

Once before?

But I cannot turn away

Lock her out of my mind

No matter how hard I try

That is how it goes

So I must continue on

With an outstretched hand

Waiting

Wanting

To be filled

By another’s

Great Sky Daemon

Great Sky Daemon
By: James Dubeau

Screaming monkey head
Floats on by
Amongst the puffy
White clouds
Why
Great sky daemon
Do you scream
Is it pain
Is it torture
That contorts your face
For those few moments
Before you are gone
Dissipated
Returned to where
You came

Drifting Clouds

Drifting Clouds
By: James Dubeau

Drifting clouds
Floating by
Blanketing the sky
Turning to black
I watch you float
Across the sky
In puffy gobs
Is there a storm
On the horizon
Waiting for me
To leave the sanctity
Of the indoors
Or will those clouds part
Showering me
With the last glimpses
Of sky and sun
Until the day
Finally turns
To night
