Majestic storm tossed trees
corralled into waiting stacks
we burned some tonight
embers dancing under stars
while we roasted marshmallows

4 am:
Mixed emotions
He’s sleeping
through the night
My breasts weep

Rubber duckys ~ busy beads
bubbles ~ splashes ~ laughter
Curly haired toddler
smiling at us
my happily ever after

Smokey eyes smolder
wrapping me up
in his kiss.
If only
the baby would sleep

Tiny fingers wrapped
around my seasoned ones
trusting me beyond reason
I’m still in awe
over what love created

Amber flames dance
wicked sensations licking skin
sweet desire streams
into the inferno
singing as we vaporize

hauling hay ~ hanging ghosts
tombstones ~ pumpkins ~ dripping blood
witch-crafting ghoulish grub
to treat tiny fiends
tomorrow the night rules

Diminutive Dragon
with whimsical wings
toddling trick or treat
candy kisses ~ chasing chicken
Mama’s thankful tears

Howl at the moon
cut a tooth
climb a mountain
spin around ~ Oh God
please baby sleep

I’m tired
of
tasting bile

stomach coated
with promise
only to be
regurgitated
on a pristine commode

I just realized
how much
I need a shower
