where are you?

lost and found

by t.a. faust

i've put you somewhere

on a shelf out of my reach

why did i do that?

Sleepy me

Yawn
t.a. faust

My heavy eyelids
drooping with the day's efforts,
ready to close shut.

Just the thought of sleep,
stretching across the blankets
drool on my pillow.

If only the morning
could last all day, through my lunch,
and into dinner.

invention of epic proportions

by t.a. faust

Hot steam whistles loud,

gears spin and clank together.

Such a wild machine!

See the flags flapping

as it hurtles down the hill?

Rampant revelry!

But what does it do?

Does it make little whats-its?

Or lift up the rug?

It's a mystery,

unsolved and quite unsettling,

that boggles the mind.

Yet onwards it goes

away into the dark night

clicking and clanking.

The Big Green

Mistress of Mine

by t.a. faust

your emerald waves

rolling away into night

carrying my heart

flotsam and jetsam

lost upon the endless sea

bobbing to and fro

you'll always be there

the multitudinous green

or so we can hope

driven

by t.a. faust

my eyes on the road

and my hands are on the wheel

on my way to life

Symbolism
by t.a. faust

numbers hold their sway
they control our lives subtly
don't mistake their strength!

The Days Are Just Packed

Time flies
by t.a. faust

When you're having fun
You will hardly notice the time
As you hurtle past

Life's a ride sometimes
And sometimes you're the driver
No need for pit-stops

Our paths often cross
Not as often as they should
Brief travel buddies

I'll see you out there
Along the Highway of Life
Waving as you pass

red, red wine

warmth

by t.a. faust

sliding down my throat

sweet and warm, pure delicious

an end to the day

autumn train ride

Golden Grace
by t.a. faust

Heart-warming beauty
Waves of color painting trees
A season of change

The Texas

 A Drink In Haiku

by t.a. faust

Lick the Tabasco,

Then whiskey and tequila,

Follow with a lime

summer dreams

by t.a. faust

connected once more

long lost friends now re-finding

with some new flavors

so close, yet so far

and now we're searching again

grasping at loose straws

now let's not forget

the morning thunder rumble

nature's poetry

A reminder...

There you were

by t.a. faust

Remember Goodbye?

When you held my hands softly

Lingering fingers

The Devil's in The Details

shivering

by t.a. faust

early rising fool

pushing through the foggy mind

something from nothing
