-
Gloom seeped from every pore.
Its’ grip captured every thought
-
Some write to personify nature
Some write to explore fantasies
-
Days slowly wane and dim
nights are forever murmuring
-
-
wind hummed muffled moans
the bold clang sharply taunted
-
In the moment’s vibrant swoon
torrents race the rapids
-
It swirls close
to dart just when I grasp
-
His head hung slightly to the left
as he plodded the leaf covered path
-
Here we pledge
to go twain as one
-
Three actors parade
when the final curtain parts
-
Stillness consumes all
Snowflakes become feathers
-
Take a single leaf
think its shape, surface, size
-
Slender hands soothe
nimble fingers trace
-
Nippy breezes fetch
a frosted limb twists and shakes
-
In the beginning, all things were good
soon lust-coveted neighbors became greedy
-
We were the wands
that exhale life’s breath
-
When we are tossed and turned
When we are thread bare and scorned
-
-
Demure debonair
her side glance through tasseled hair
-
So slowly did snow melt
to flow under icy lips

Backyard Nestled in the alley

The expected decorum
polite handshaking
-
Nestled in the alley
where ShowTime starts at dusk
-
As upper lips quiver
under tiny salty beads
-
Thick, layered mist floats
the crater’s ridge barely shows
-
Haunting wails echo
they pierce the sweltering walls
-
A soft, slight rise
as tender mounds suspend
-
Solitude awakes
the gusts pick up dust spirals
-
From our first walk in spring’s shower
to beads basking your skin in summer’s radiance
-
-
Steadily drizzled droplets
settle in chilly pools
-
We are more than the sum of our parts
We came here to make a difference
-
Angry sea froth
snatches sun rays
-
Silver’s brilliant disk
covered in streamers of lace
-
Among steep mountain trails’
ruts mark the traveled path
