once in a while

Once in a while
I try to look away
Once in a while
I look away

Once in a while
You make me fumble
Once in a while
I fumble

Once in a while
You come silently and sit next to me
Once in a while
Silence comes and sits between us

Once in a while
Sun hides behind you
Once in a while
it’s the winter sun

Once in a while
Time leaps
Once in a while
I don’t chase it

Once in a while
Dreams wake up by my side
Once in a while
They sleep walk into the dark

Once in a while
I float
Once in a while
I flutter

Once in a while
It rains!
Once in a while
It rains.

the weather man

A breeze unaware,

of a quiet storm it brews.

rain unaware,

of the hail, of the snow.

the light unaware,

of the black it conceals.

black comes in shades, plenty.

the blackest black she shows.

seasons have never been more seasonal.

she knows not where her heart lies.

i dread being her weather-man.
