A drop of nostalgia added to the goblet of words, I paint dreams for the dream catcher to read.
It was a Monday, much like today, but he isn't here with me.
That evening, he had poems all over him, & I was his blank canvas. Winter was at its peak, & I felt his #icy touch gliding across my skin like a glissando.
Was love in the poem, in his touch, or in our skin?

This morning dawned on me,
like metaphors and similes spreading
across a verse.

A quiet nudge of unwritten words
and a ceaseless earthquake of unspent emotions.

I know it is love,
but did you feel this storm
in the calm of your dreams?

Wish I could #quit,
wish I had the strength to let go.
I wish I wasn’t in love with you.

All the wishes end up on you, for there’s no me without you!

Dear Lover,

I have a bell jar full of words, and I want to shape them into a poem. However, adjectives fail to truly describe you, and my heart knows you simply as love.

I hope to share these words with you, so perhaps you can use them.

With love,
Yours always.

and night acts as a #lullaby
to all the #latent emotions
when love and lovers are far
and stars and moon are
their only ally.

You are the storm
that brings the rainbow,
and I am the one
that causes the flood,
but you are seasonal
and I am perpetual.

My longings are #latent,
like a muted poem,
Your yearnings are wildfire
of desires,
and our love a hymn that
is cherished and celebrated.

My #train of thought
stopped at junction
called love.
There holding the
red flag, you stopped
me.
Now, we, us, plan
the way forth to
our dream destination.

the low sun inks
longer shadows prompting
acknowledgement of
the need for seeding
and watering what is
wished for next year’s
green and wild flowering
moments when what
is spoken is
what is meant
and for seasonal details
such as my broken
shovel, my uncalloused
hands and my socks

… and the #delay was real,
an indefinite #delay,
as she stood at
the cusp of summer,
Now, she was ready to embrace winter,
but he held onto his Fall,
He danced with time,
and made love to seasons,
he wove moments and
cradled promises unfulfilled.

I wanted to be spring,
To your autumn,
I wanted to #delay
The approaching winter,
I wanted a few more
Flowers to bloom,
Before the gloom settles
In your eyes.
I wanted the spring
To fall from my lashes
And onto yours.

the storm came knocking
like many times before,
knocking, knocking, knocking
knocking at my door

so I became a hurricane
his life never to be the same
and saw him, nevermore

and saw him, nevermore

Goodmorning Blue sky!

Stay in the moment and make the most of it. Invest in yourself and add equal measure of rest,
peace of mind,
exercise and commitments.
Simplify!

On a lonely #skerry she chained her ankle to the rocks, flung the key into the sea. When the serpent broke the surface she sobbed with relief. It broke her chain, dragged her down, swallowed her whole. In the monster's gullet she touched her lover's face one last time before she died.

I stole her boat
Hoped for the best
The #horizon
Littered with #skerries
And rocky outcrops
But that's where
Peter lived
Hiding
From a world
That either wanted
To make him famous
Or destroy him
I understood
In a way
Talking raccoons
Are rare
But I loved him
Anyway

It was very scary
Being on the #skerry
Alone
At night
After what I’d done

I thought
to bury
my heart on a #skerry

sure that you
would travel there
at once

to make it beat
again

The windshield wipers, inky vipers,
Hisses in the snow!
The destination coils
As the sky turns purple…
The night spreads like venom…
A lady parks her car by a park,
Steals a scarf from a snowman…
The destination is inverted,
She’s on the run,
Deep within herself, she goes!

Poetry..

Emotions within few words
Love succinctly expressed
Sweetly chosen whispers
Feelings tingle and endear
An inscription to one's heart
Poems are timely momentos

I am from the pulse of the deep,

from caves that hum with ancient breath.

I am the flicker of a dying flame,

a song caught in the throat of the earth.

I am from the chaos of roots and stone,

where the unseen stirs, wild and alive.

Where the waves crash,
where the rocky #skerries
embrace the sea,
in insolation, love reignites
the verve of life.

Where the songbirds
sing love songs,
and croons in desolation,
a wrecked ship, a flotsam
and love struck finds a
moment of peace.
