Betwixt strands of her colored hair - Red for passion, devil-may-care; Blue of a cool, frivolous air - Frames eyes of a burnished gold, bared, Staring, daring, Only to laugh, then, disappear.

A flowery scent
Along the coastline,A broken-hearted lover,Blooms with eau de salt. A flowery scent,Carried by a hot Spring breeze,Mingles tears with hope. In the midland towns,With opened windows released,Hidden flowers bloom. A lonely fool sighs,Drearily glances outside,Sniffs, whispers "Lilies." The breeze dies, winds cool,The scent lingers on moonlight,Recalled in sad dreams.
From the Midlands to the City
Outside my window,The thrush tweets in the warm air,A song I wish you could hear. I stopped to listen,The city noises ring loud,But I hear you, still, singing.
Golf with the Boys
"In youth we had the time but lacked the money for our toys,Now we've money and toys, but no time for the boys!"So it has become necessary, like old fogeys all,To play golf, once a month, and lose too many balls. Allen is the sensible one, married and with two kids,His balls land where he … Continue reading Golf with the Boys
Before Regret was Summoned
We had committed the ultimate sin,That friends could commit to:With fingers and limbs entwined,A shared breath births rhapsody,Our high is an untold oblivion,Where thoughts go to die,And regret, not yet summoned,Is like a distant horizon,While the sea between is the sigh,Of blissful contentment and lust,And the cold reproach of the moon,Is just a mirror from … Continue reading Before Regret was Summoned
A distant, childish song
The cries of kids’ games, Echo throughout the courtyard, Dancing on warm winds, Singing as they flow beyond, Beyond the confines of time.
A return to normalcy
A cuckoo's call rise,Draws the ire of a sleeper,Hit SNOOZE, roll over. Cat meows just outside,Complaining about the food,Or the lack thereof. Groggy fellow groans,A night's sleep is only goodWhen you can sleep in. COVID cases rise,Put on a mask, do your part,Got to get through this. Music station plays,The classic songs of childhood,While the … Continue reading A return to normalcy
A Beautiful Night
She slid closer, wrapping the blanket tighter around her shoulders, murmuring softly under her frosted breath as she fought against blessed sleep. The other put out her cigarette, complaining idly about the cold while thinking about love and loss. The one who dragged them both outside smiled as lights streaked across the sky. "Beautiful night." … Continue reading A Beautiful Night
Robbed Denouement
We paused beneath the shade of a tree,To rest and tend to my injury,But my companions I urged them - hike on, Leave me behind, go on without me. Rustling leaves stole their voices anon, Left alone, my thoughts lingered upon The distant wonder of a lost view, Near the summit, my robbed denouement. The … Continue reading Robbed Denouement
Drinks left unfinished
Children grow restless, Begging parents to go home, Drinks left unfinished, I have no place to complain, I chose to live life alone.
