whispers into the wind

I whispered into the wind
releasing my prayer
towards the horizon
I waited with bated breath
for an answer from the sea
but the answer never came
in the breeze

we made plans

we made plans
laid them out
in straight lines
with no curves

we made plans
that somehow
found its way
off the tracks

we made plans
that were too
perfect to ever
be achieve but 

we made plans
to get back on
the road towards
the rising sun

hot chocolate in the cafe

we were sipping
hot chocolate
the sun begins
to slowly sets

the vast silence
between us makes
this meeting all
the more awkward

I tried to speak
but my words were
stuck on my tongue
would not come out

we departed
with words unsaid
lost chance added
to my regrets

raging storm

like a raging storm
you crashed against my
rocks and stone walls
I built in order to protect
myself from harm

eventually you were able
to view my inner being
when I opened the front
gate to my heart and
allowed you to enter

autumn at dusk

in autumn when dusk
arrives the sun begins to
write its farewell song
that will keep us warm on cold
winter nights until spring comes

these hands

Photo by pexels.com


these hands write poems
words flow onto paper
delicate fingers grasp pens
as I bring words to life

these hands search constantly
for some human touch
a connection to take away
this loneliness I feel

these hands are my companions
through good and bad times
the only companion that will
stay for a lifetime

adult conversations

at the dinner table
during the night’s topic
I was about to open
my mouth and say
what I thought
but from one stern
look by my mother
I felt an invisible kick
to my leg that said
to stay out of
adult conversation


- Anther poem inspired by dVerse Quadrille #44 - "kick"

kick

I wanted to kick
everything
to the curve
toss my burdens
into the ocean
drive off into
a setting sun
forgetting
all the things
that went wrong
and refresh
my journey
if only it was
so simple
instead
I’m tied down
to this dock

I see you

I see you
in shades of blue
my heart wants to beat
to every word you speak
in love I want to get lost
no matter the risk or cost
so I take your hand
walk across warm sand
chase after the sun
as we become one
