Cadence
Adorned in luxuriant scent May enters with a tribute. I walk along near an overarching hedge, clusters of brilliant foliage tip their fancy tops. Handmaiden with blue bell eyes, lips of sugar plum seeks to kiss you under the shade of a spreading hawthorne. Sit with me a while my steady oak. Let me...

Sacred Parcel
We find our nook in yonder breath of day, stroll along fragrant paths of bursting buds and tiny umbel trellises. Clusters bright catch our eye, but we wander closer still to the smiling lips adorning one another's faces. In this kiss nature cannot compete. All that's here is you and me, against a...

Cracked Sky
Rippling sun on black water. Bare trees twisting to a cold wind. Silent as winter, yet spring buds a thin light, casting shadow over the land, promises hailed through a cracked sky and trembling tears of rain sprinkle down against the tired face of a landscape no one really notices anymore.

Shattered
Inside this glass heart, thrice broken, dagger shards cut deeper. You come and remove the pieces, and bleed with me without concern for your own wounds. I learn about agape as I watch your tears mix with my own; your beauty stained by my blood; your sweetness cut by the glass, turned weapon in my...

Bystander
Wheels of doubt rolled over me, shoved down face to face to the pavement. Bystander where did you come from? You tend to this roadkill with gentle determination. You scrape me up, carefully, whispering sonnets of heavenly themes. I'm wounded, cut and barely moving. Good Samaritan with tender words,...

Leaving the Show Me State
You're there outside of Missouri, in Cherryvale Kansas learning to canvas red birds. You blot out the tart taste of writing poetry. The candied green apples left canker sores. You only remember the twisted twigs of Blue River trails when you pick up the journal you've so easily buried under the Burr...

In the Twilight
On bended knees, caressing, awakening, tasting every tender stroke of words spoken, sensual silence, rising, gathering into union, suspended senses wasted, like lovers at each other's feet.

Silent Dissipation
Your energy dispersed into the cosmos. A silent dissipation. You are no more except in fond memories, unshared thoughts, stale attempts to keep you here. Did you pray for such beauty to envelop me through another? Was this your plan as you left me without saying goodbye? Did your meditations place...

Same Path
Webbed feet waddling toward wet pieces of bread. Tasty morsels for geese straying from the gaggle. I sit next to a stranger, an old lady, snatched by Alzheimer's, glazed over eyes, robotic motions, throwing popcorn, forever lost. Two careworkers sit behind, chattering, keeping an eye out on our...

Zoomed In
Stillness, among blossoming lilacs scent and caresses of sweet breeze wrapped in long-stemmed roses. Swing with me on a lazy hammock for two. Dream with me as robins and red birds serenade us in destiny. A calendar moment captured by flash in mind's camera. Zoomed in for the sake of a kiss.
