we dance around

we dance around the
pink elephant in the room
trying our best to avoid
the sharp edges that threaten
to pierce our boundaries

we both know what needs 
to be said but our lips 
stay sealed as our voices 
linger silently in our throats

love versus fate

beautiful eyes
like a golden dawn
lingers in his dreams
for so long

silver smiles
was a love call
to her yearning heart
from the start

fate’s sentinel
watches from afar
cuts the lines clean
with no regard


- Written for dVerse Poetics: Daffy for Daffodils, Sprung for Spring.  I used the following daffodil variety names: beautiful eyes, golden dawn, silver smiles, love call and sentinel

slumbering through the seasons

when the autumn leaves fell
the trees slipped into a slumber
before winter sprinkled the mountains 
with snow white glaze

when spring flowers burst through
emerald grass we chased after 
butterflies into summer’s gaze 
that held us enthralled until 
she departed with twilight kisses


- Written for dVerse Quadrille #196 - Let's have a Sumber Party! with today's word "slumber".

leaping into dreams

she leaps into dreams
of golden sunrises
over a field of lilacs
she dances with butterflies
until blue twilight arrives
to carry her to songs
of moon and stars

daydream touches

you had taken my breath away
the moment I laid eyes on you
but I was too shy to do anything
yet in my daydreams I strut across 
the room and with a touch of charm 
I lure you into my arms and heart


- Written for dVerse Quadrille #195

the serenity before the chaos

as we await evening’s arrival
we stand along the riverside
I watch you toss gray stones
skimming across serene waters
I listen to nearby rustling trees
without exchanging words
we knew this was our ending

imagine

they stand at the bus stop
on a cold morning
icy breath escapes their lips 
as they wait for the bus

she closes her eyes to imagine 
she is someplace else 
a warm beach lounging 
under palm trees sipping 
ice cold cocktails until sunsets
