where's the spark?

I search for any signs

that this love was true

I wanted to feel a spark 

between our fingers

that would tell me 

that you were mine

we spent hours stargazing

under midnight sky and

yet at dawn’s arrival 

the questions still

lingered within

coalesce

we dance around

going in circles

but never blending

until the day

the world tumbled

into the darkness

at that moment

we meshed together

returning to light

walking in autumn

the rustling leaves crunch beneath our boots

while walking under cobalt sky

that will soon fade into deeper blues

on lawns pumpkins with frightful cravings

awaiting Halloween visitors

in the coming dark my ears detect 

the haunting boos of the unseen

dancing under moonlight

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #233: Bring on the Boo!

hidden letters

letters

I wrote when young

filled with poetic words

stay hidden in my desk away

from light
