A peaceful warm day.
Scents of flowers fill the air;
So do summer flies!

The Sunspots of Summer OutbreakI’m twisted
into submission;
admission
to true world
of imaginary breeze
and coconut salt.
I’m a seed,
slipping into sand,
letting go.
The wild sea’s
crest and trough didn’t swallow me,
silence me - my thoughts.
Roots, a muse -
rest and recreate;
drudge baggage
ditched at shore.
The dunes spoil me with their grit
and pink hydrangeas.
Sunglasses
recover my eyes;
sunburn writhes
on my skull.
Hair in free fall, snarled and damp,
like anemones.
An assault
of coconut...

EmbersAlas, my heart!
Breathe. Behave.
A saviour awaits your sinking gaze
Too much of your eyes would set it all ablaze.
Bring with you a lamp so bright
Burn my kingdom. Alas, we’d be the only ones alive.

1,000 KissesWe made a bet
I hope to win
And if I do
I'm cashing in
One kiss per poem
You promised me
If I reached 1,000
Collectively
So I made a wish
May it come true
You might not remember
But I certainly do
1,000 poems
I'm almost there
Then 1,000 kisses...
Everywhere...

EnthralledI'll find some way to pass the time
While waiting for your call
I think I'll write a poem
A short one, kinda small
But don't be fooled by lack of words
These two lines say it all,
"Tonight you looked so beautiful,
With you I am enthralled!"...

On the Precipice of the Midnight HourThe clock at tick-tock - appears a flower
On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour.
Green eyes scan the darkest blue; and brown eyes,
On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour.
Fuzzy figures all about the dusk-ing
On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour.
Brown spots on leaves; and Autumn wrinkled skin,
On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour.
Fateful showers begin with...
