The night is my blanket
your touch a quiet reassurance
Lovers reunited at last
after carrying too long
the weight of #looming fears

Do we dance
reclaim what has fallen
awaken a long-forgotten passion?
Do we ride the waves
or turn instead
toward calmer waters?

Confounded dreams awaken
material charm devours me

Slow down, life, just a little
don’t let it slip so easily
don’t let it slide me by

Let me #bend time
find more joys
within its seams

Let me slip
ever so slowly
Let me slide
the sorrows away
bent gently by time

The sailor sat
gazing into
the vastness of the sea
mind #unmoored
soul shackled to his past
He pleaded with
the leviathan
beneath the waves
to release his spirit
longing to be free
to wander into mountains
where sunlight turns gold
& rivers feel like gentle streams

It was #drizzling
The line slipped
through his calloused hands;
they were bleeding

Footholds crumbled
mud clogged his spikes
The mountain fought him
at every step, each time

It was his nemesis
He had fallen short
too many times

But
not tonight.
Not tonight.

Deception fools
the innocent,
dampening every attempt
half-baked #ruses,
wicked smiles

A blinding game of cruelty
silences the truth,
distilling an essence
purely vile

Harrowing patterns
of endless lies,
hidden behind
walls of darkness,
slowly devouring
them alive

cold feet, sore now

‘Excuse me, sir. But I think I know you.’

‘Well, I think I’d remember a gorgeous babe like you.’

‘Thanks, but I’m pretty sure you’re the father of one of my children.’

‘Ohmigod! The stripper from the bachelor party? Don’t let that #slip out around my wife.’

‘Um. I’m your son’s teacher.’

we realize the value of things
after they are lost
I won't let us
#slip through the
perforations of time
with #ruses
I will cherish you
as long as you're mine

Beautiful Moon split
Into divisions in your eyes
None could have guessed
Earth shook earthquake I stumbled

It wasn’t that the world was ending
It was a new beginning
A collision of hearts
I’d not expected

From my eyes
Bursting
In #dapple
Multiples of
New stars
Shine

my face is #dappled with your kisses
your touch #sears my skin
the pleasurable pain
reminds me of you
long after you leave

for you i would
animate the stars
their glittering dance
a heartfelt love note
brightening your
shadowed nights,
for you i would
become your moon
a glowing beacon
of hope & love
illuminating your
darkest hours,
for you i would
do anything,
just for you,
always for you.

we woke to snow
blocking all roads
we couldn't meet
for so many days

my #heartfelt wish
was to see you
even if we didn't
talk or touch

your sweet smile
is enough
to make me
breathe easier

Like usual midweek humps today
Could be a another #wonky Wednesday
Instead let’s make it a winky one

Under the stars
Sunset reds
You and I
Starting with
Morning tequilas

Go on, don’t be a grump
Nudge nudge
Wink wink

moved in with a friend,
built a home on a hill
far from maddening crowds
a life rebuilt
to outrun her past

it crumbled fast
love left,
old scars clawed
their way back

yet she has her mountains,
and those #wonky friends?
they linger, like crooked anchors
in a storm

it was a mistake
to let you go
without giving you
a chance to win my heart

business of the hearts
are #wonky
you want someone
who wants someone else

would life have been
better with the change
wrought by
choosing you

How far does humanity
have to stoop
to see itself in the gutter?

How many times
does it fall
before it learns to walk?

When does it learn
from the history
it replicates?

How much
more suffering
can we take?

We'll take it all,
'cause greed doesn't care
about you or me.
