Through all of time
we have tasted life’s wine
richness of deep nights
sweetness of sunshine days
Together
we drink all of it in
intoxicate ourselves with each other
savor who we are as one
If we never stop searching
for sips of divine love
every minute will be worth it

Written for Go Dog Go Cafe Tuesday Writing Prompt “if we never”
Hush of loneliness
the silence in my heart
lost beats
wandering
looking for you
in all the places
that used to be ours
calling your name
hoping somewhere
somehow
you will answer
once again

He caught his breath…
there before him
his scarlet rosebud
amid all others
donned in basic black
strength in her beauty
softness in her smile
still so much left to blossom
in his hands–
He walked over
bowed slightly
touched the small of her back
and the dance began

(Written for the Go Dog Go Cafe Tuesday Writing Prompt “scarlet rosebud”)
I followed shadows
for endless years
down dark roads
through eerie woodlands
across dusty, barren paths
until realizing
what I was chasing
never would be caught
never would be real
and that day
I turned around
said Hello to the sun
and walked into the light

Poet’s world
madly wild
with swarming words
dancing with pen
but not too long
for the story is
brief
succinct
efficient
yet emotional
and passionate
to a fault

At her feet
crushed dreams
fallen from
her heart
where once upon a time
each beat brought
happiness, fulfillment
energy to the soul
hope, contentment
smile to her face
Now…
just broken pieces
scattered trash
thrown away
to die

You splashed
across my mind
smeared colors
of once clear days
abstract nothingness
of what was once something
blurred thoughts
of our life washed away

I am
a somewhere girl…
*
in-between everyday thoughts
behind dreams’ shadows
atop soul’s hushed yearnings
under sentimental heartbeats
*
I am
a somewhere girl
and it is in the somewhere
I come to life.

Underneath my heart
hides the snowfall of my mind
intricate
delicate
fragile thoughts
I cannot stop
from falling
cannot stop
from blanketing my soul
cannot stop
because each one
is of you
patterning my life
with beauty
reminding me
each moment with your love
a unique, rare gift
only the Heavens
could grant me
