#1003 Another Season

Another season
Yellow leaves give way to snow
And yet no gold ring

Another season
Coulda shoulda put a ring
on it oh oh oh

#1001 Sunday Prayers

Sunday prayers for
Heart pounding Saturday nights
Dark chapel of love

Penance for pleasure
Sunday prayers suppressing
Smiling at the thought

And on the eve of my birthday, I’ve just written my 1,000th poem.

It can be found on my website

#998 You Haunt Me

In my house of pain
after ghosting, you haunt me
rent free in my head

Thank you for the share. I’ve “only” had three chocolates so far. 🤣

Strange fruit, Durian
My senses tricked: nose smells rot
Tongue in ecstasy

Split open durian tropical fruit with its custardy segments to the side. Behind is a whole durian showcasing its spiky exterior.

Sheets writhe on clothes lines,
Ghosts of laundry left to dry,
Windy day spectres.

Congratulations, and can I say, what a gorgeous gown. 🫶

Sometimes the loudest thing in the room is restraint. Silence isn’t surrender — it’s the long inhale before the world rearranges itself.
I’ve learned that the wolves don’t always howl. Sometimes they listen and wait.

#993 Silence

It’s an old adage:
Actions speak louder than words
Silence of the wolves
