Food For Thought

Food for Thought...

You want puns?
How about on buns?

Written word fun
From the fruits of the Earth's sun

Thought about cruisin' on my bike to grab some grub, but it was two-tired. 
Decided to ask the cow out to the Stampede, but he was grounded.

Caught some fish that was wailing from some a-salt and batterin'.
Went to the vineyard & stepped on a grape, but it was too winey.

The sunset blazed on as the lettuce showed tall in the field, a head above the rest.
Clouds settling in for the night realized there's no contest for a fowl-weathered friend that the ghost of the poultry-geist leaves behind, egg-credibly the best...

Boiled eggs are hard to beat.
And, hey... ya know? A girl's gotta eat!

Left Hanging From the Swing

You came out swinging and talked a good game.
But you fizzled out and left me to hang.
All alone in this tango for two.
It was supposed to be me and you.
But you had your eyes set on some other prize.
While I was ready for you, you were stuck in the clouds.
Wishing on a star.
Swimming among the fish.
Hoping on a hope.
Hanging on... 
a 
kiss.

Tango

Dance begins: “Marry Me?” 
Two bound eternally. 

Intertwined in engorged throws. 
Promises forged. Blood flows. 

Familiar tune. 
He cradles. She bows.
Resplendent vows: “I Do.”

Enhance

Enhance--
Ever-present
Foundation for support.
Never failing, always teaching!
Enrich.

The Fire Within

Tearing a page away from troubling times
A beautiful disaster no longer the captive
 
Emerging from the murky waters
Renewed and flourishing 
 
As forest fires promote
new growth abounds
 
Arising anew with rekindled spirit
Sailing on an uncharted sea

Slow Burn

Slow Burn

               Who ARE you?
   He approaches
     the stage
          auspiciously…
               She gazes with awe.
     Side-stepping
          in time.
     Flawless are
          his moves.
     Their eyes meet.
Time stands still--
     Unbroken silence.
Earth snaps back in motion…
               Her
                    eternal Slow Burn.

Hp Lovecraft

H.astily I traipse “amidst these tombs,” “untainted eye…”
P.reparing the way for the “hidden world of yore.”

Luring lovers in, “lost Nevermore…”
“O’er the midnight moorlands crying,”
Verily to “wreck the solace of the poet’s mood!”
Even now, “drunk of the fog-foetid fountains.”
Cerebrally “reject[ing] the language of the glowing heart.”
Revered and “done are my trials,” “my heart is reposing.”
“All the years of fruitless quest” culminate in this...
For all the “prosy thoughts,” past “ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,” a
“Tale confide[d]” in “the shade of Poe” and I will be forevermore alive.


Quotes from:
“Where Once Poe Walked”/ “Despair”/ “The Bride of the Sea”/ “Fact and Fancy”/ “Nemesis”

Etch-A-Sketch Memory

You linger even after the ghost of you is gone…

I still wear you on my face,
Smell you in my hand,
Taste you on my lips,
Feel you in my hips.

In secret places of my mind
You are still running free.
The only place where truth can bind
To my soul and memory.

Synapses firing,
Shooting off from sensory,
As I recant the day.

Wiped clean from the rain.
A constant wash
Over the portrait once painted.

Like an Etch-A-Sketch
Of a most beautiful day created...

Then shaken from the timeline of me.

Everglow

Giddy with excitement
of two souls' delightment.

One tiny taste of a moments bliss 
found within one simple kiss.

Carrying on with wings of flight
Mouths open invoking wetness-- landslide.

Much euphoria & sweetness await.
How, on this day, did come such fate?

Once only an object of affection from afar
hast come making my heart sing & giggle & soar.

For from only mere seconds in continuum of time
bottling up these fleeting glances of ours-- yours & mine.

From moonglow
To sunglow.

Once skyglow
Igniting soulglow.

Now laughs my soul
in this everglow.

The Drive

Hours upon the open road
seeming like sheer seconds
in an hourglass of time
 
From torrential downpours
To outpours of affection
 
Even in silence
words exchanged
amidst unspoken air
 
Careful attention 
Carefree notions
Stories expound on
new Memories forged
in the fire of our souls
