embrace

your embrace

soft and warm

melted my heart

drove away tears

I discovered love

nest

chirping birds

her morning song

they flew away

leaving her heart

a vacant nest

- Inspired by Twiglet #177 - a vacant nest and dVerse MTB: 5 Line Japanese Poetic Forms

fixed

many have their eyes

fixed on the calendar

wondering when life

will return to normal,

to boring daily routines

many took for granted

I try not to obsess on 

such dates – in reality,

life is always fluid –

you just have to follow

the currents

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #104: Oh, We're in a Fix

I sit

I sit

and wait

the clock

doesn’t move

I’m stuck

In place

just waiting

to move

but time

blocks out

my calls

hope

with hope

I step outside

the box they placed me in

I fly towards clouds, pass moon and stars

I soar

this poem was to be...

this poem

was going to be

about a boy

who stole

my heart away

I couldn’t get

the words

to flow right

making them

pop off the page

instead I write

these short lines

hoping the words

bloom into

something nice
