taste of cheesecake

red cherry cheesecake

stares back at her from the fridge

her resolve falters

bites into the creamy slice

her hunger finds its release

the next journey

under a starry sky

I let my mind drift

to memories long ago

that faded in time

I look towards the moon

it's alluring light warms

my heart as I seek the

road to my next journey

dream walking in snow

snow crunches beneath his feet
as he follows the warm lights
guiding him home

wolves howl in the distance,
stars pepper the midnight sky

night air chills his bones
but all he thinks about is
hot cocoa and her smile
waiting at the door

- Written for Quadrille #191-Let it snow

from November to December

shadows of November
turn into darkness
of December evenings
autumn has lost her grip
lady winter will soon
make her arrival

the golden leaves
have gone away
naked limbs now dance
outside my window
frigid air knocks on
my door to be let in
