as we fell

as we fell
into dreams
I knew then

this affair
would be my
undoing

still I took
the leap with
open eyes

hair


when I was young
my hair was thick,
curly and wild 
I often wished it
was tamer with
smooth strands

now that I am older
time and nature
thinning many
of those strands
I often look back
wishing I still had
those thick curls


- Written for dVerse Quadrille #96: Wild Monday

under moonlight


under moonlight
hypnotic melodies
caresses my ears
turning me into
a connoisseur
of stardust and
indigo dreams

across the room

across the room
you stand
a light among
dark shadows

I reach out
to touch
the soft strands
of your hair

you disappear
like a ghost
through fingers
a cold mist

it was a dream
stuck in heart
so please don’t
ever awake me

treading


we tread the waters
as if we’re frighten
one missed step will
lead to our doom

when did love get
so complicated?

I write poem about
the moon and stars
love as the sun
on a summer day

if only love was 
just so simple

winter evening skies
can be beautiful
yet can be as cold
as a broken heart

perhaps love wasn’t
meant to be simple

roar

they try to roar
over the white noise
to get their concerns
heard for once

but over and over
they are denied
their place at the table
by the powerful

yet we cannot let
our voices drown
but make them rise
and topple mountains

oxygen


I rose from ashes
taking my first breath
air filling my lungs
opening my eyes
to a brand new light

the beginning of something


rose bulbs slowly open up
allowing the sun’s rays to
reach its core that was closed
all winter to block out icy chills

just like my heart I slowly
expand my petals inviting
new light to enter its chambers
believing in love once again

when trust is lost


apologies
cling to trees
like leaves in
late autumn

my tears fall
like snowflakes
in January clinging
to branches

we sit in silence
waiting for words
to break the ice
between us

forgiveness lies
within the heart
but the tongue still
burns from betrayal
