Grieving Goodbye
One step I go back, and
I see you holding my hands...
With a smile, walking down the lanes.
Yesterday I acquainted me in you
When your hands grabbed mine in your fears
With such reliance, allaying down the pains.
And Today when I stood still
I saw myself lost in despair
When...

Premium Member Through it all
To the lily moon that 
 never forsakes me~
amidst the cruel constellations 
that left me stranded in 
 a melancholic maze
of rain-kissed memories.
I’ll write this prose for you,
on periwinkle paper
perfumed with geranium grace,
 in rhyme-less cadence,
like the rhythm of 
raspberry regrets flowing 
 in hues...

Premium Member Elements Part Three- Water Fairy
Everything was green and lush as I walked the hiking path,
little did I know that soon I would be hopelessly lost and
entangled by the forest with foliage impermeable.  I walked 
miles. Soon I was weary and so thirsty, I knew it was a requisite,
even...

A Blimmin' Cold Day, Even For Grandad
All avenues are amphibious arenas
Bubbles belch-burst, bitter Bacchanalian bombs
Clouds' cast-iron crescendo creates cold cantankerous caricatures
Drenched - darkness descending, daylight dying, disappearing duskwards
Every eye echoing every eye, emotional evidence enveloped
Fake furs, fashionable fools, firm friends fleeing flowing firmament
Garrulous girls giggle, grizzled gangsters get going, gravity gyroscopes...

Security Blanket
SECURITY BLANKET....

YOU were my security blanket
nothing on earth quite like it
I LONG for you to wrap me tight
miss the MOST important person in my life
this pain cuts deep like a knife
your always there to make things right
you made  my dark days fill with light...

A Drink To You
In light of good memory of how things were, a woman stands unguarded. 
Pleasantries, talents, and secretive skills.
 I offered to you a drink, allowing you in.
Thinking I had chosen carefully over 37 others.  This vexed me.
Read and reread the commentary side-by-side distant eyes...

Premium Member Two-Voice Tanka, Thrice
bathed in such splendor
in front of us blue water -
verdancy behind
how very cold it is though
like ice, it cuts to the bone
 
this frigid beauty
I let my eyes feast on it
ignoring the cold
the scent of pine is wafting
I breathe in tranquility
 
breathing in fragrance
I let the iciness...

Premium Member Guilty of Innocence
Guilty of Innocence


Love – has always been guilty – as charged!
No jury necessary to reach this verdict.

Guilty!
Of breaking and entering in the night,
bypassing the security system,
stealing its way into a locked heart.

Guilty!
Of softening the edges of resistance,
melting the iciness of doubt,
soothing the confusion of feelings.

Guilty!
Of...

Song of the Wind
I walk alone on the twilit road,
Watching the stars in the ebon sky,
Dancing and twinkling in the air,
Playing hide-and-seek between the clouds.
The familiar scent of the home fire wafts,
Beckoning to the traveler,
Promising of hearth and cheer,
Warming the iciness without.
The chill wind whips around,
Taunting with its...

Premium Member My Foolish Heart
Her iciness gaze ensnared my foolish heart.
I was cast in the role of a comic swing.
Her infectious smile entices my depart. 
She led my nervous hand to the Devil's ring!! 

I was cast in the role of a comic swing.
Allow me to nosh your savage...

The Heart of Seduction
Scent of roses and carnations, ooze
from her short flower dress;together with the smell of her body,
he finds her so irresistible. Her hair, blowing in the wind;
inviting eyes; a body shaped like an hour-glass; her voice....
all make him feel like unbuttoning her dress, and revealing
her bareness,...

The Deed
The iciness of his smile 
seeped like osmosis through the crevices 
left on my face by the squint rooted 
on fires of a loud and angry sun. 

A tempest stormed across the dusty, red sky 
following the wake of his Packard of no color. 

His...

Premium Member After a Day of Shopping For (But Not Finding) a Red Dress
I wanted to offer you a drink
refreshment after a day of grinding labor
respite from the heat

so I peeled and chopped some fresh words
squeezed a cup of tangy words
an eggshell full of frothy words
a sugar cube of sweet words
a jigger (two) of tipsy words

and blended them...
