Long Waltz around Poems

Act 2. A dark, empty stage.

It's all a blur. It’s all a little dizzy. 
I just have dreamed a scary dream as if 
two vagabond philosophers robbed me
and killed. I must admit it's a...

My friends have always hated Valentine's Day.
They ridiculed the pimply-faced boys
Whose hormone-infused offerings
Smell of Axe cologne and sweaty palms.

Greater the mocking of pubescent princesses
Who prance and twirl and collect tokens
From admirers like shells on a...

I remember standing on your feet to dance with you, when I was a little girl,
I remember how you taught me to waltz, around the dancefloor we would twirl.
I remember watching you dance with Mum...

My woods, my gentle comforters stretch to no confines but blue and to the sun. They surrounding me in shaded blankets, but unholding in the unbridled sense of it.

It’s to my special spot I seated...

Alyssa danced in the center of the 
empty historical ballroom.  
Imagining suitors standing in line
for one more waltz around the artistic 
ceramic tiled flooring.
Her dress, ivory full, swept the floor
as she turned and sauntered...

awaking a thirst, filling me from above
     with whispers of unforgotten love;

the pounding of drums as your name lingers
     on mine own lips displacing rainbow sweet hues.

Stretching long, without goodbye
Weary from the summer's play
The rolling hills are losing green
But laughing to a cloud flecked sky

while catching autumn's leaves

Autumn days show quiet grace
A fading trace of yesterday...
We watch a sky yield a...

Keep it to yourself and keep looking around
Do you need to be there?
Can you see the light under the neon?
Can you read the lips of the gaudy?
Change is sitting there somewhere
With a glass, weary-eyed
Wondering what...

I filled a small trench that yielded fresh water.
Built as a serpentine and with a sharp corner.
A small waterfall sang a melodious sound,
A lulled sleepiness induced when it hit the ground.

I used to lie on a bed of thick grass
in the front yard just to stare up at night
and its uncountable flickering stars.
The cool breeze tendrils would caress

Come waltz around the diner's hall with me
where scents of ginger pie can spice your lust
when you behold my sister's flaky crust
and slather pie with ample hunks of brie.

A dinner fraught with traps we...

I am Your Wave!

There you were all peaceful in "trance",
here I came with a frolicking dance!
Down you brought, the stars of night,
I just Flickered their light!
That magnificent smile, with dimples,
I just conspired with droplets, to...

in whirl and twirl we waltz around
feeling guised and chastised
raising brick laden walls
going 'bout our daily business
foiled and desensitized
plagued by the veil of apathy

once spring arrives and the sun shines bright
amazing how a walk in...

Small steps toward a brighter future
My legs bound by your tongue
Rub together
Like we used to

A large leap to the safe ground below
My eyes shut by your breath
Cry violently
Like they used to

Trembling hands
On the throat of...
