On Wisps of Hope Alone -
On wisps of hope alone -
Love cannot soar
For hope quickly goes -
Returning at some hour.
It needs a pair of wings
To up and away
When it seems resigned
To an uncertain fate.
It needs a fresh wind
Flowing strong yet soft -
Once and again -

Wisps of Love
Like smoke rings or the clouds aloft
My love for you floats quiet, soft
Undetected outwardly
It lives and thrives inside of me
Until the day decides to come
Where you and I will be as one
Said love now soft won't be that then
Unbridled passion will be when

Wisps Of Smoke Rings
We were like smoke rings in the way that our bodies curled around one another, wisps of lovers' cries intermingled with the ecstasy we once discovered
We were all arms, legs, hands and fingertips, two people became one on that night that isn’t supposed to exist
We both let down our guards, the walls that we had

When one door opens Joe Bonamassa Song
Joe's song inspires,
But what transpires?
Door can open anywhere,
Does it lead nowhere?
None escape life alive,
Meanwhile, let's thrive,
None win in this pond,
None come second,
Finally, we're crisps,
Souls become wisps,
No use looking back,
No complaints, great lifehack!

Wisps of Recollections
Like
wisps of
soft white spores -
those vague remnants -
are recollections wafting through my mind -
sun-gold heads of spring I no longer hold,
Yet I can glimpse
when they turned
into
fluff.
I
recall
my young self
blowing off the
fluff of seeds . . . wishing time would pass quickly.

I Can See Wisps of Mists
in the pupil of her eye
don't know if its lost or trapped
not sure if anything has moved
around her
hold a fleck in emerald moat
to stop from drowning
Jack seriously move over
Tyrannically Titan

maybe the wisps are dancing
maybe they are praising her
like that glint
of light
that refuses
to leave
holding on with tendril
fingertips
this poem never left her eyes
like me.

The Weight of Ghosts
** The Weight of Ghosts *
————————
We do not truly realize how
Our lives are so crowded, thick
With spirits and messages.
We are as yet untuned to know. So,
We need to sense the fully living
Within from those motioning without
Around about and collect them thus
Into the backpacks of memory
To

To Wisps of Straw
To wisps of straw, we cling in hope
A tragicomic tale
We are free, yet needlessly grope
Chasing illusions stale
There’s no need to be meek
Know we are strong, not weak
We are That, who we seek
Why bend in awe
To wisps of straw

Wisps of Straw
Wisps of straw to which our heart clings
Cause of our suffering
Choose those vibrations that bliss brings
Mind-body transcending
Use free will, to be still
Let nectar overspill
As voids within all fill
Thoughts we draw
Wisps of straw

Wisps of Loves Inking
Secret corners of the heart entwines my muse’s imagination, so divine.
Those first wisps of love’s inkling, gets Trixie and me both to thinking.
So many ideas, prancing around my heart, stirring up a fire inside me.
Emotions too numerous to name, recognizing themselves as they must be.
Maybe there is some romance left in our ability to write

Smoke Wisps
Passion burned brighter
than candle flames
licking shadows on the wall.
A tongue sipped sweet nectar
from cream filled silken folds
that quivered with each libidinous stroke.
Like wisps of smoke, her whimpers rose
aroused by sensual flickering.
Embers smoldering
until luxuria was sated.

Curly wisps
of ebony locks
glistening
with each stroke,
releasing whiffs of jasmine
She combs out her hair.
