A Liddell bit of julip
Sweets for a sweet...

manually activated upon advent of twilight
(since yours truly not resident within "smart home"),

Cats and Christmas trees

A cat is instinctive
Climbs tall towering trees expertly
The garden is his haven
His and only his territory

Catching rats, mice and birds, presents just for me
Proud,...

Moments just like dewlike dreams,
Falling softly on the edges
Of shadows,
Where there live silhouettes
Confiding in the mysteries,
Reasons...

When rouge sun touched the eastern sky, to color a whole neighborhood.

The timid alabaster moon was in hiding, taking with him, his native luster,
As...

Winter wet with fresh white flakes falls tonight.
A morose man maunders at his baby grand, 
Keys awaiting the touch of bony hands.

Exciting walk; barefoot on warm rock while cold spring water
burbles past me. “Hey! over here.” she calls. 
A puppet, my instinct guides me there again;
Creek ends in dark green pond. “Hi” I answer.

Grief tears down the walls,
Built by scarred hearts,
Convincing walls, sturdy like the oak –
But not nearly as resilient when anguish trembles
In hearts who have never known the dark,
The soundless shadows,
Fading like a smile who has...

For years they have been tightly gripped against your rust
Above us, a darkened raincloud,
Threatening lightning and stinging sorrows…
Though instead of indifference, I feel the aftermath of your thunder
