Tempest

September 4, 2017September 3, 2017 / Ryan Stone / 57 Comments

Wind, blow –
lift me high, don’t
let go;

fly me
far, above sand
and sea.

Monsoon –
take me, let’s chase
the moon.

– Ryan Stone

Mackenzie

September 3, 2017September 3, 2017 / Ryan Stone / 17 Comments

Across
long years I mourn
her loss –

yearn for
her laugh with each
downpour,

descry
her smile in each
short high.

Daughter of the Plains

September 2, 2017September 2, 2017 / Ryan Stone / 42 Comments

Ochre
soaked skies, sunrise
woke her –

blue grass
seas lilt behind
stained glass

at dawn.
On morning’s grace
she’s borne.

Drowning in Blue

September 10, 2016 / Ryan Stone / 17 Comments

image
Blue With Four Red Bars, by Antoni Tapies (b. Spain), 1966.

Drowning in Blue

Red scars
enclose my heart
in bars-

scatter
dreams, cause love to
shatter

like glass-
’til even hope
must pass.

Ryan Stone

Written for the 20 poem challenge at Ekphrastic, September 2016.
