Stunning Is



Well, it seems to be that time. My first post on my new blog. There will be plenty more to come but for now, one will do. Need to get this started at some point right? This is a poem called, Stunning Is.


Stunning Is

Stunning is the blackness set ablaze,
the 5am shadow cast from far beneath
by first stretch of sun.
Stunning is the traceless strokes in a pallid sky,
the 4:45 certain glare, the understanding of dark,
a followed foe.
Stunning is the feel-felt, lids upon lashes,
and 4:30 easy-pleasing reason she’s within them,
and she remains.
Stunning is the shut-eyed view of brilliant comfort,
the loaded lonely but content nonetheless
seated at the doorstep of her soul.
