Aaron Brown Poems

Exit
here said the sign
for Central Avenue.
But I knew it led to nowhere.
...

When the future had no past
The Eternal stretched wide
Wings of imagination
Against the chaos of a moment
...

see

two facing mirrors
each an infinity within
...

Hearts heavy with shadows
cast aside by dreams of light,
mourners retreat in stippled dark
and the news shades the grey between.
...

I ride the latebound train tonight
alone in my car but for shadows
slouching down in far corners
...

Take from me;
make of me
what you will.
But write my script
...

The moon rises above the city
through an endless cycle of days.

Watching
...

Down by the sea -
You and me.
Listening to gulls cry -
Watching waves birth and die.
...

If I would see the Darkness,
I have but to close my eyes

Behind this shield, in sight of dreams
...

I bask in the warm glow
from the cascading torrents
of captured summer sunlight
framing these ice-blue
...
