Roses Petals in a Dark Room…

By Michael Lee Johnson

ROSE PETALS IN A DARK ROOM

I’m but a poet of this ministry,
 
rose petals in a dark room fall.
Everyone’s life is a conflict.
 
But mine is mastery of light and neon night
and I walk behind
these footsteps of no one.
 
RAIN
 
In the rain,
this thunder
on his way home,
 
he rebelled.
He a disco dancer,
High school dropout.
 
 
DECEMBER HOLIDAYS
 
December 24th
 
 I find footprints
 in this snow,
 
yours frozen,
with our
broken dreams.
