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

Poem for today - an acrostic poem:

“admirer”

a glance from you set off sparks within

deep desires inside build up like lava

my adoration risks clouding my head

I cannot stop myself falling for you

red lipstick imprints I leave on notes

every poem I write is all about you

realistically this dream will never come true
