Cecil (cj) Krieger Poems

When night
Filled our home with darkness
And moonlight danced
Through the frosty winter windows
...

She never looks at me anymore
At least not in the way she use to
Always seeming to be in thought
Always looking somewhere else
...

We fit together perfectly, she said
Like Neapolitan and Josephine
Anthony and Cleopatra
Or Romeo and Juliet
...

She had lost mountains and rivers
On rainy paths through sunny fields
Golden chains and lover’s kisses
Hidden secrets unrevealed
...

I’m much too tired
To get up
And change the channel
And though this infomercial
...

It was a time
Of frozen mornings
And barren trees
While I watched
...

They came running
Without pause
Without thought
Without hesitation
...

The rains came
Falling heavily on the land
As I stood by my window
Watching the drops
...

I want to sleep
With the windows open
On a night that believes
In winter winds and falling snow
...

The rains washed down the mountain
Softening the warm earth
As I sat by my cabin window
Watching the muddy waters
...
