taking in the view

we sat on a blanket
taking in the view
of aqua waters
beckoning us to dive inn

you take my hand
as we approach the waves
never in fear of getting
lost in the tide

together we could go
beyond the sun and stars

vacation

vivid memories of car rides
and ice cream on hot afternoons
cerulean sky over beach sands
and the aroma of saltwater
tickles our noses until dusk
I take in the stars that reach
off-beaten paths I yet to explore
now becomes my bucket list


- An acrostic poem written for dVerse Poetics: Vacation reminiscences

flipping the switch

round and round we go 
not knowing where to go 
even though we know 
this song all too well
 
looking for something new 
yet we take in the same view 
wondering why the sky 
never changes its hues
 
I take a leap of faith 
not worrying about fate 
I finally flip the switch 
to chase unknown horizons
 
 
- Written for Twiglet #333.  This is the last Twiglet prompt by Misky and I thought this poem was fitting.   Looking forward for new prompts to inspire my writing.

twelve o'clock

we dance under stars 
one warm summer night 
I can see moonlight
in your eyes making 
everything feel right 
 
we glide across the
dance floor as my heart
flutters from your kiss
 
when the clock strikes  
twelve I am pulled away 
from this dream

seeking peace

it was the peace
that her heart sought
in the stars above
in the summer’s sky
 
it was loneliness
that brought her here
in the vast garden
wishing upon the moon
 
it was only her voice
that echoed back to her
when she spoke prayers
into the blackness of night
