A lighthouse about to be hit by a massive wave.

When November Roars

The gales of November roar, a wild tempest unleashed upon the Great Lakes,
Waves crash violently against the shore, fierce and relentless,
Clouds gather heavy, obscuring the sun, as darkness engulfs the land,
In 1913, the Big Blow raged, claiming ships and lives in its grasp,
Over 250 souls lost, their stories woven into the wind’s mournful howl.

Winds whip fiercely, howling with a fury that knows no restraint,
A reminder of nature’s power, the Armistice Day Storm, a day of sorrow,
On November 11, 1940, winds reached 80 mph, a chaos in the skies,
Fourteen vessels met their fate beneath the waves, swallowed whole,
The echoes of sailors linger, their memories bound in the restless tide.

The stacks in a library.

The Librarian’s Lesson

In the veil of Halloween, where costumes take flight,
A naughty librarian awaited the night.
With glasses perched delicately upon her nose,
She donned a tight skirt, the kind that seduces and shows.

Her dominant, the professor, wise and refined,
In a tailored suit, with a glint in his mind.
He called for his research, with a voice deep and low,
But the librarian faltered, her focus lost in the glow.

A haunted looking house with leafless trees and a setting orange sun behind.

True Tome

In the dark of night, the world comes alive,
Whispers of secrets in the dark, they thrive,
A soft touch awaits, where the lost arrive.

Pumpkins grinning wide, with a mischievous gleam,
Beneath the shadowed sky, reality fades to dream,
Bound by desire, stitched from passion’s seam.

Because No One Reads

I know with a quiet certainty that no one reads words, and for that, I am surely glad,
since words unravel more than anyone wants to hold, a lace too fragile for calloused hands.
It means no one will notice the way I fumble with ghosts of my past,
and no one will feel that jagged edge, the scrape of regret veiled behind lines unseen,
because no one reads words, they do not care for meanings stripped bare in black ink.
