north, south, east, west

under the north star

she guides souls to freedom

cloaked by night’s darkness

in the south of France

they enjoy sipping red wine

under skies of blue

as the east wind blows

the clouds above turn to black

storm makes her approach

along the west coast

we watch colorful sunsets

the moon greets our eyes

charm

charm me with
your enchanting eyes
let me drink in
your gentle smile
 
allow my perfume
to envelope you
my kisses heal
your open wounds
 
promise me
you will stay
I promise you
I won’t go away

directions

I.

the north star

our guiding light

to freedom’s road

II.

down 95 south

driving our way to 

memorable vacations

III.

rising from the east

we watch the sun

bless us with beauty

IV.

I look to the west

trying to hold on

to remaining daylight

I am

I am 

the daffodil

dancing in the breeze

I am

the rain drops

falling from clouds

on gloomy afternoons

I am

the caramel syrup

with whipped cream

topping your iced coffee

giving it its sweet taste

I am

the blue dress

hanging in the closet

waiting for the day

to be picked and 

worn out once again

I am 

the woman looking 

in the rearview mirror

at the young couple

behind her in a loving 

embrace wondering 

her own what-ifs

- Inspired by dVerse MTB: I am, The First Person Narrative 

Although this poem does not necessarily meet the prompt's requirements,  this piece was inspired by the "I am" phrase.

blue

along the sea
under blue skies
we count clouds
floating by us
sun kisses skin
breezes cool us
when sun sets
we take turns
counting the stars
amusing the moon
I only wish
this was real
not a dream
that always end
upon morning

- Written for dVerse Quadrille#107-Blue Monday

where you are

where you are
where I wish
I could be
 
but dark clouds
keeps us separated
on opposite paths
 
upon a time
one could cross
rivers without cares
 
now danger lurks
in the air
waiting to pounce
 
instead we wave
our hellos exchanged
from far away
 
where you are
where I dream
to be eventually

don't cry

tears burn behind brown eyes
how I wish I could release them
let them cascade down my face
like rushing streams from waterfalls
but I was taught to be a big girl
and big girls don’t get too emotional
I hold back tears screaming to be free
instead I let them dry out inside me

dancing in moonlight

dancing in moonlight

our feet step, hips move to beats

we kiss under stars

moon's glow reflects in your eyes

I knew I would fall in love
