harboring secrets

no one could see

behind her porcelain face

or his boy next door eyes

no one saw past her pretty smile

or his loud boisterous laugh

beyond those warm eyes

they all harbor secrets

imprisoned behind bars

so no words can escape

through mouths

- Written for dVerse Quadrille Monday "harbor"

I get lost

I get lost

in daydreams

when I want

to escape

the chaos 

of daily life

I only wish

I could get

lost in you

all day and night

making this life

a bit sweeter

last time

when we said goodbye

on that mid-June evening

neither one of us knew

it would be the last time

it was the last time

I would kiss your lips

and you would watch me

drive off into a setting sun

and yet it was and 

I have since moved on

driving into new sunsets

a morning with you

a morning with you

beats any holiday

cuddling in your arms is,

dare I say, heavenly

everyone may say I’m a

fool in love, but that’s okay

- Written for dVerse Meeting The Bar:School Days where we are tasked in writing an alphabet sestet.  This was a bit harder than I imagined, but I imagined to come up with this one.   

quick!

quick –

let us run away

from this mundane race

chasing paper that will

never be enough

let us get lost

in sunrises and sunsets

sing songs with the seas

let the clouds carry us off

towards warm horizons 

where no hurt can reach us

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #64-Quick!Write Something!

I wish I found you

I wish I found you

years ago

before my heart

was cleaved in two

I wish I found you

years ago

when I still held

hope for love

but now I feel

it’s too late

my heart has turned

into stone 

and now I feel

you’re too late

to make me believe

in love again

if only the Fates

let me find you sooner

we could have been

painting the sky

instead of writing

sad goodbyes

the risk

my mind says don't take
the risk - the stakes are too great
but my heart says yes

so I take the plunge
into mysterious mists
and hope for the best
