Simple Short Phrases

Simple short phrases Taken from the grayest clouds, charcoal mist collecting my thoughts Entwining my heart with pointed sorrow as my stupidity takes center stage to a sold out show Weakened at the knees, disjointed disappointments, assumptions falter my eyes Blinded by the sight of one more licking the seasoned wounds of past regrets Channeling frustrations with a remote, the mute button not working Shoe fittings find my mouth, at least in silent words Crying inside and outside too, rivers of lost dreams stored in a mason jar…its lid rusted shut Wrenching my fingers, twisted knots, lacing fears that are merely a mirage yet still flourish in desert dreamscapes fluctuating as camels drink from my oasis on Wednesdays Then, as if a window opens, words are heard simple short phrases tiny syllables counted in Haiku fashion and in an instant my heart spins in circular motions A smile of winged happiness adorns my face, sun pours through and zephyrs unfurl their sweet aromas, dancing from flower to flower…to my heart It is amazing how words can affect us when all it takes is a whisper of affection, from you to me, to make this moment, this day, this world…the perfect place
