cool blue

in my dreams
all I see
cool blue sky
 
and your eyes
a soft brown
seduce me
 
with visions
of warm sun
silver stars

winter solstice

the shortest day of the year
fades into darkness
a snip of smoke
echoes out of a chimney
lady winter has made
her promised arrival

- Written for Twiglet #258 - a snip of smoke

hair tinsel

I have seen girls tinsel their hair
in blues, pinks and purples
I wonder what dyes were mixed
to birth such vivid hues
 
I think I’m getting old at forty-three
with my cool days behind me, or
perhaps my best years really lie ahead

morning

morning
dawn on my face
dreams fade into sunlight
I awake again to warm thoughts
of you

I will crown this poem

I will crown this poem with gorgeous words
that will ignite a flame within hearts
it will be as regal as a queen knighting
citizens or a king conquering lands far away
or it will be a wallflower sitting in corners
blooming in silence

from here to there

up and down the stairs
from here to there we all go
from point A to B and back
on this merry-go-round
eyes seeking paths to go off-road

- Written for Twiglet#254

life is not fair or easy

life is not fair or easy
it has peaks and valleys
storms and sunshine
 
I walk along winding paths
eyes toward skies
searching for heaven
 
at night I slip 
into dreams of what
fantasies life could be
 
at dawn I awake
to new beginnings
