which way?

are you going my way,
or are you taking a different path?
will we meet again along the road,
or is this our final farewell?
 
I walk towards purple horizons
as you walk towards ivory clouds
which path is the best? who can say?

when it's over

she tried to hold on
her arms were tired
so she walked away
leaving baggage behind
 
he watched her walk
towards new sunrises
her heart now up for grabs
 
she searches for love she desires
he searches his soul to be a better man

- Written for Twiglet#210 - up for grabs

getting pretty

the young girl watches
her mother before a mirror
combing out soft curls
gliding red rouge across lips
placing dabs of perfume
upon her neck
 
the young girl plays with
pearls dreaming of the day
she will be sitting before
the vanity getting pretty

- Written for dVerse Quadrille #119-Dabbling in Poetry

something new

maybe I should turn
over a new leaf
shed this old coat
or paint the sky
a different hue
 
perhaps something new
will reignite the spark
to keep me going
on long cold nights
when the only thing

I want to do is stop

morning kisses

his brilliant smile
was my morning kiss
his baby blue eyes
deep like oceans
overtake my senses
I get lost in kisses
and vivid daydreams 
the hours slip away
until nightfall arrives

-   This is the last post for 2020.  What a year!  I decided to go with a love poem.  Love is something we all can use more of these days.   Wishing everyone a peaceful and prosperous 2021.

night sky in December

stars light up the sky
winter moon serenades us
new year approaches

fire within

she seeks adventures
across lilac skies
and cobalt seas
she needs to escape
this merry-go-round
that is draining
her slowly inside
airplanes glide
above clouds
igniting within
a bonfire
soon she will be
back on the trail
seeking journeys
to lands beyond
the horizon
