which way?

are you going my way,
or are you taking a different path?
will we meet again along the road,
or is this our final farewell?
 
I walk towards purple horizons
as you walk towards ivory clouds
which path is the best? who can say?

when it's over

she tried to hold on
her arms were tired
so she walked away
leaving baggage behind
 
he watched her walk
towards new sunrises
her heart now up for grabs
 
she searches for love she desires
he searches his soul to be a better man

- Written for Twiglet#210 - up for grabs

getting pretty

the young girl watches
her mother before a mirror
combing out soft curls
gliding red rouge across lips
placing dabs of perfume
upon her neck
 
the young girl plays with
pearls dreaming of the day
she will be sitting before
the vanity getting pretty

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #119-Dabbling in Poetry

something new

maybe I should turn
over a new leaf
shed this old coat
or paint the sky
a different hue
 
perhaps something new
will reignite the spark
to keep me going
on long cold nights
when the only thing

I want to do is stop
