Premium MemberThe Shape Beneath My Feet

Dusk finds me
     Life settles down
          The light
                It turns from me
                     Something stirs below

Darken sky
     One eye
          Ember gaze
               No fear
                    It knows me

Close calm sure
     A familiar shape
          Dark wings gather around
Home. One wing guards them all.


Premium MemberWoman on a mission

So many things to do.
Won't let the rain slow me down.
Check off my long checklist.

Premium MemberIt Happened in a Grocery Store

Young women give me back my heart
We were both walking down the aisle
(In a supermarket not a church)
I caught a glimpse of that sweet smile

Those brown eyes and black hair
I didn’t mean to stare 
(but it was a volatile heart moment)
With you and me there

Passion spreads like a Molotov cocktail
Fires spread across my heart
The face of Venus, the space between us
Closes as I get closer to your grocery cart

I drop a note and get your attention
And say “Excuse me is this yours Miss”
On down the aisle and looking back at each other
(We are in a moment like this)

The note reads:
I am so glad you took my note
I wasn’t sure how to get it through
I am glad (though spontaneously)
(As summer winds gust) to have met you

Premium MemberAs Advertised

   
	      Her gravestone read
                 “In the store, she never overspent
                      so much as even one cent” 

               His read
                  “He never so much as 
                       looked at another woman”

               Pity ~
                  They weren't married to one other

Premium MemberGypsy Woman

Grace hovers on a breeze.
She leaves behind her trail of mystery.
There's no denying her panache.

Premium MemberMy Heart is a Secret Garden

Somewhere hidden, there lies an ancient heart,
all alone, where it quietly retreats.
Love is so far away and set apart.
No one would ever guess that it still beats. 

Somewhere hidden, there lies a secret lock,
but no one has found either lock or key, 
much less, an unseen door on which to knock,
as seasons turn and waves crash in the sea.

Somewhere hidden, there lies a lady love, 
but could her fortuitous, gentle birth 
save a heart and soul, soon to rise above -   
an angel gift from heaven to the earth? 
 
Are these forever fated to dark, hide
or be seen 'fore I reach the other side?

Premium MemberOf Fair Guinivere and Donald Duck

  
          	Of Guinivere and Donald Duck
                  too few have ever written

               Yet truth be told, with the ornery duck
                   fair Guin was truly smitten

                She loved him for his cantankerousness 
                   she thought his quack unique

                So lovestruck was fair Lady G
                   at Donald’s fumbling advances ~

                     She turned ‘her other cheek’

Premium MemberWhen The Hindu Priest Met The Medicine Woman

Though their highest potential destiny
May or may never become a part of reality,
Their transcendent love helped them see
All of their paths in which they can be free.

Though there were chances they never met,
They overcame days once filled with regret.
They had to learn through pain and lessons,
They had to accept they had confessions.

They had to find their true selves firsthand, 
Then find each other in an ancient land.
The aspiring Hindu sage found a woman:
Always followed her intuition, did all she can.

Whenever this medicine woman spoke,
Something ancient deep within him reawoke.
She fully realized her powers in his presence,
Then he realized what is true love's essence.

Premium MemberAnother long day

Watches herself in the mirror
Listlessly smudging the lipstick off her face
~ her smile gone ages ago

Premium MemberThere Was An Old Woman

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe 
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do 
So, she tied up some children with her shoelaces 
Even the boy who wore his leg braces 
She put them all down, in the cellar with no light 
And chopped off the head of one child every night 
The mean old woman was cold and bereft 
She killed them all till there was one child left 
It was the boy with the braces; he watched all the kids die 
But for some scary mannered reason- the boy didn't cry
He found the unlucky old woman; tucked in her bed 
Then he beat her with his shoe; made sure she was dead 
When he knew she was dead, 'He -sat with a smile- 
And shouted out loud!! 
"I'm Satan, It's Been Me... all this while"

Premium MemberKoi Woman

She is as fleeting as the koi
twice as skittish
delicate and pretty
life has burned her

a naturalist, who loves Thoreau
a poet, who enjoys Coleridge
She dreams in color
a woman who has been hurt

To approach her, you must be subtle
honesty is the quality she must see at all costs
if you try to approach any other way
she will shut you out like the others

Premium Memberfinding his dream woman

He found his maiden in the midst of the battle
Alabaster skin, peach cheeks, azure eyes
She could be a lady-in-waiting or the king’s ward
Or possibly the princess Marguerita herself

Without words, they moved toward each other
She extended her hands; he took them and pledged his protection
I will keep you safe, he told her; knowing he would die to save her
She was demure, polite, and perfect. His dream woman.

Premium MemberBoss Map Walt Marie

Sure as stars shined she stumbled.
Falling.

A fierce lightning rod flickering
wild sparks.

Put the appetite front and center.
Boss map. 

Hard hands callused to the bone,
dialed in. 

There’s nothing lucky about it. 
She fought.
