Sunsets and Silhouettes
Cool coastal air caressing care on my face,
The sand slipping softly through my feet,
The ravenous roars
Of the ocean’s whimsical waves,
Ice cream top like silky snowdrops,
Woody waffle cone
Like a bark of a tree,
The sun bleeding in the sea,
Sunsets and silhouettes,
I closed the gap,
I bit the top of the icecream,
And it slid down
Through the gate of

Scared to death
As shadows laid where none could go,
The dark sky etched fear in a scrawl,
Making hearts to leap out of sight,
Silhouettes of danger scared all,
A cooly breeze whispered the fright,
Meanwhile, death crept closer too slow.

Sun-kissed Silhouettes - First Draft
Upon her last sighs, she narrates cosmic
sagas flowing within poetic veins.
She still remembers
those idyllic evenings,
engrossed in raining confessions,
influenced by her shipwrecked heart,
expressing scarlet
sentiments that sail in silence,
across unruffled ink-stained waves,
amidst the endless oceans between
their untouched silhouettes.
Her every desire to reunite and
cast away midnight blues,
float within perfumed love

Silhouettes
You are the night
that makes pupils dilate,
illuminates the stars,
and conceals mistakes.
You are the night
that renders silence
a piercing, echoing,
dizzying, ring.
You are the night
cradling one to sleep,
and keeping another one
wide awake.
You are the night
which weaves reveries
---an urge to anticipate.
You are the night
which makes souls pirouette
and dances with their silhouettes.

When I look at you, silhouettes spread through time
When I look at you, silhouettes spread through time,
Variations of life, in the curtain of stars,
As children, we lured each other with a warm thought,
Down an alley, where you brought me a large beetle,
And on my hair, you gently placed the odd traveler,
We gave it a name, and you whispered secrets,
A string of wisdoms from

Swaying Caressing Silhouettes
Swaying, caressing sihouettes,
In the rose evenings,
Meditating, lighting candles,
As you sweetly gaze,
Swaying, liberating hems,
Like salsa dreams,
Your essence is exotic, stunning as rain,
Upon a flowers dazed petals,
Honey of mists,
Golden leaves,
in autumnal symphonies,
The green dresses,
Have turned a golden honey,
Let us shed our grievings,
The fishnets,
of hips and waves,
From our souls,
Like those majestic trees,
Waves,
waxing with crescents,
To gems and shore,
Ballerina dove,

Silhouettes In the Moonlight
Autumn’s now here, waves lap the shore.
Your strong, warm, bronzed hand holds mine .
Our daughter, grown, loves us forever more.
Our grandson, now a teen, for him, I do pine.
May we live for many years, with kisses galore

Rainy Day Silhouettes
Sleek blurred silhouettes
beneath colored umbrellas
shun falling silver.
On the path to golden sun
strangers all walk together.

Shadows and Silhouettes
There are lessons to be gathered long after the sun has set…
walking in a world made up of shadows and silhouettes.
There is inspiration in the silhouettes and shadows
wherever we may find them:
How they can only be created when there is light behind them.
How shadows have no color, no religion…no immorality…
Silhouettes…no gender, no age, no

Halloween
Halloween
There was movement on All Hallows Eve with stirrings all around
The moon was full against the blood red sky.
I wondered if I’d make it home before the dead returned
Would creepy Zombies stop me in my tracks?.
Descending shadows came and went, just who was lurking by?
I wondered why I ventured out this night.
In darkness saw their

Creepy Silhouettes
Those CREEPY SILHOUETTES are back
DESCENDING upon my safe place
They're WALKING around in the darkness
But, they're LIVING in the open
They are re-igniting the DREAD
Again and again, as they move
Around the corners closing in
When they move, they cackle loudly
They're celebrating HALLOWEEN
Watch out when they form a circle
It is their way of trapping you
All you will feel is
