Short Braise Poems

She kisses my shoulder
As my fingers braise her hair.
She smiles to my eyes
And my mind begins to yell…
Kiss her lips,
Hug her hips,
Become a light
That glows tonight.
Feel the bridge above
Leading to a place of love
That calls our names in this rain tonight....

What kind of light
 is denser than air

Speak, if it be true

Must I wander on in blunder
Listening to the ramblings 
of the depraved

Say Nay, if I dipose you.

It seems far from me 
to show you where 
the water lies

Definately not above your eyes.

You must braise your sight 
to these poisoned visions

Level your ears to the 
deception that rings

Strum the words then, if this is agreeable

Speak again, if this is truth
Speak once more...

The best part of the day
is when we get to play
in the kitchen.

Rarin’ to go
hunger is so
deep we’re itchin’

to turn up the heat
whip up the sweet
tangy sauces

While it comes to a boil
pour on the oil
Salad tosses.

Strip outer layers
from tubers and taters
then steam ‘em

Pound the filets
sizzle and braise
to perfection

Juice freshly squeezed
down on our knees
in thanksgiving

Abundantly fed
we head off to bed…
…
…
for dessert……....
