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

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #180: Pouring Out Our Poems

 

 

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

 

 

 - Written for dVerse Quadrille: Happy dVerse Twelfth Anniversary

 

 

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
