the risk

my mind says don't take
the risk - the stakes are too great
but my heart says yes

so I take the plunge
into mysterious mists
and hope for the best

hellos and goodnights

hellos at sunrise

makes mornings so much better

with coffee or tea

as we leave our home

I take one last look at you

so I won’t forget

my heart makes wishes

that I could spend afternoons

snuggled in your arms

at dusk we return

shedding all the day’s hardships

and retrieve our light

good nights under the night sky

makes me drift into good dreams

Two tricube poems for today:

“the affair”

small kisses

they shared in

secret rooms

she knew it

was so wrong

but felt good

until she

arrived home

filled with guilt

“night song”

we sang songs

into the

night hours

until my eyes

grew heavy

and closed tight

when dawn came

I found you

in my arms
