After the Rain
After a day of rain she shyly peers at me from behind her curtains and shows out, undresses for me in this early evening hour Her gown of fluffy clouds lay atop the distant hills She stretches her lovely arms across the horizon And paints the sky Like a drunkard in need of intoxication I stumble quickly to...

Premium Member Those Nightmares After Midnight
Have to keep the door closed (after that midnight treat) The coyote or wolf far off (too close) Can’t remember the plot (salsa has tightened its grip) upon awakening (not at all sure of that) the widening of the dark I open the door slowly to the shadows (a strange light and likeness) The wild animal is scarier enclosed, inhibited (it tears at my throat, claws my innards - from...

Premium Member You ask what remains after emotions have flowed like sand through an hourglass?
You ask what remains after emotions have flowed like sand through an hourglass? Just a pair of eyes that now look only to see, not to feel, not to remember the echo of yesterday, without a trace of the past, without the outline of the future, just the suspended moment.

After Love
The hush between the midnight trees Is softer now that you are gone— No echoes in the sighing breeze, No footfalls on my waiting lawn. I kissed your name upon the air, It vanished on my breast laid bare; The stars looked on with silver stare, And bowed before the rising moon. A hush of loss, a quiet ache That burns with more than...

after a storm
After The Storm   Now that the spring tempest is over and the ground is littered with twigs and juicy, green leaves flung off mother tree long before they should, it gladdens the woods that the old oak still stands although it is almost hollow inside and is home to a family of foxes, myriads of insects, and a 40 years old...

AFTER ALL IS LIFE
Life is short, brief, fleeting, a breath, anyway... One day, a child, the next, an adult, and then, the end ? It all seems like a crazy dream, but it is wonderful... because in truth, that is life...
