Take me back to the east,
show me the waves of the pacific ocean,
Let’s swim in the sunlight,
tell me another funny story, my one love.
A Song
A song speaks to you
stories in the melody
stirring memories
You play the song on repeat
shifting your emotions, soul
Used Book Store
Distorted shapes
Deep shadows and patches of light
Lost deep in thought before the rows of books
Touching the covers, reading the spines, looking at the art
Taken from the world outside, finding hidden gems
Hiding in the deep shadows, moving into the light
Hovering around the rare books dreaming of vanilla cake
The distorted shapes seem familiar
Moving to the counter, hesitating and moving back again
Mousse
Darkness on a spoon
lush bubbly sweetness and light
glass encased dessert
Belgian milk chocolate mousse
delicious goth glam lipstick
Petal Dreams
Dream petals fall on a once young face
A distant bell chimes of love’s union
The smell of roses intensifies
Young lovers speak vows to live in love
My dream petals continue to fall
Waiting for you to return to me
Haiku: Untitled
A kiss to the moon
Let me sleep without bad dreams
The heavy clouds cry
Perspicacity
Shore gazing,
the cold sea,
a look, a smile, a nod.
Gone within a gaze,
I mistook charm,
wit, and intelligence
for perspicacity.
Swimming in the sea,
I didn’t enter,
you teased me with
the depths.
Pulled under, gone.
Missing, then
washed up on a beach,
you didn’t need
to impress me.
Sorrow is a single bed,
alone with my
thoughts about you and
erased dreams.
Insect Music
Howling through the houses,
insect music plays us a song.
The windows rattle and shake,
fluff balls whoosh from hiding.
The clouds move undecidedly,
sun, grey, sun, grey, sun, grey.
We have a lazy mixed-up day,
undecided about what to do.
The Look
The point of your toes.
You dance around the coffee table to a guilty pleasure.
Wild, sweeping, undulated 80’s dance moves take you back in time.
Unaware that the blind is up, you look across to see a passerby give you the Lummox Look.
Unperturbed, you continue dancing naked.
Stormy Sea Longing
Insufferable
Longing for the stormy sea
Green hills surround me
