Between the gutter and the ledge?

A hopeless fear crawls in their gut,
Each day, another endless rut.

The moments pass profoundly...

Premium Member Rarely Met a Better Man
We communicate without language,
Gestures,symbols,motions of a hand.
He understands my language.

Her Wonderland
Early rain falls gently

like his fingers running softly

 through her tousled hair

The wind breathes lightly

like his lips treading velvets

The Unbroken Mare
In ghostly dreams the horse will come
And feed on my forbidden cereal
Meant for my recalcitrant healing
