Solitary Tear

A tear ~ solitaire:                                            
Faint whispers of loneliness                              
Echo as it falls.

She had lots of fun
Hot dates in the sun
Her body was willing to share.
Defeated by time
And squeezed like a lime
For comfort she plays solitaire.

Solitaire

playing
with a full
deck but getting

upset
that the
Queen follows

the
king
because

in
the
real 

game
the joker
is always

taken out

Premium Member Gazing Up

A sentinel
Celestial pearl 
Hung in silence 
Over the velvet
Of a midnight sky
A solitaire
Free spirit
Lunar splendor

Premium Member Solitaire

After smoking up along edge of parking lot sidewalk,
I sat in car, turned AC on, started playing cards on dashboard,
Solitaire means solitude doesn't have to be a bore.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

He dribbled and tossed with a popeyed stare
As he caressed and slapped it fully aware
That  he played alone
With the wife not at home
The satisfying game of solitaire

Untitled #215 / Solitaire

Some say solitaire’s the kind of game where
you win when you
stop playing, put up the cards
and go do something worthwhile
I’m winning that game right now
but I lost the Game

City Living

striking cityscapes
a focus of symmetry
in slicked surroundings
wet with salty tears
escape in views
solitaire existence; crowded
path to the unknown
follow at your own risk

Premium Member Dirty Solitaire-

I wash my hands
My mind yet dirty
I wash my feet
My heart hard as stone
I  in a crowd yet I'm still alone

Solitude

Alone; 
an abandoned, 
waterless oasis 
that cynically 
mocks you knowing 
companionship is a gift 
it will never 
furnish you with, 
where hope 
turns into a 
repetitive game 
of soulless solitaire.

Premium Member Unfinished Solitaire

for Mom

Finishing the game
you left unfinished today
when you left life hurriedly,
          though you have left me
          your gentle spirit lingers    
          like velvet catching my tears.

Premium Member Loneliness

My soul and rain are one
lost in despair
like an empty cold street
made of cut stone
neither ever escapes
its solitaire
languishing in darkness
both are alone!

Cards on hand
Numbers and Faces
Two colors not blonde
Kins that bond
Form in lines
Like bordelines
Round or Chinky
Winky or rinky
Question you asked
Answered or basked
Last card in line
Tossed or flipped
End of the line

Premium Member Topaz Solitaire

topaz solitaire
set with eight opals
favorite ring ever

diamond is long gone
or not, no interest
Blue jewelry my favorite

It should never be the ring.
It should be the guy
Sometimes you

Do
Not
Even 
Need
Jewelry....

Premium Member Just a Loner

It doesn’t
come natural
to me
I wish it did
I wish I were

but
a team player
I’m not
never learned
wish I did
wish I had

I prefer
to do it all
on my own
I wish I didn't
but always will

Saturday

You are roaming, sailing on “our lake,”
While I, while I, dream twilight dreams,
Knowing your roaming is solitaire and alone;
I hide my soul from you, as I wait,
I wait to hear your dreams and hope
You find my bonfire on the shore.

Love Solitaire

Love is a common weather
Covers entire body with feather 
Stick to each other like glue
Like a duck to water flow
Like a flower like a dream
LIke leaf in flowing stream
Does not look on its frailties
But rejoice to its victories.

Black Diamond Embrace

Selecting the misery,
crown jewel of my pain

To wear like a necklace,
but serve as a chain

Its dark stone on fire,
all light one’s defaced

Reset in a solitaire
—black diamond embrace

Singer,songwrter and piano man
We,fifties teens remain a fan,
Classically trained,a musical chameleon-
Oh Carol,hungry years, took him to Amarillo
But never,solitaire,this brillant Brooklyn fellow.

Premium Member Illusory Vision

In an illusory vision, I perceive the moon                       
High aloft the world in midnight's pitch,
polished to a satiny sheen; burnished pearl,
a solitaire gem mounted in celestial skies
surrounded by multi-faceted diamonds,
myriads of gleaming stars before my eyes.
