Return
reliving the past-
why am I drawn back to you
time and time again
–
poison ivy-
the inevitability
of regrowth
Category Archives: Between
Depth
slow rhythmic rocking
as I’m drawn deep into you
my lover the sea
–
crying gulls-
lost in your
cold embrace
History
stone temple ruins-
echoes of ancient bronze bells
call the monks to prayer
–
summer sunlight-
wending through
the splintered roof
Justice
who will stand and speak
when there is such injustice
if not I then who?
–
angry seas-
ramshackle rafts
adrift and lifeless
Sight
slowly going blind-
refusing to believe in
what I cannot see
–
black velvet-
eyes wide open
to the night
Consequences
living on the edge –
tasting the forbidden fruit
and consequences
–
future regrets-
I send a drink
down the bar
Birth
my journal entry-
today I start another
lap around the sun
–
willow branches-
a crack appears
in the robin’s egg
Sailing
plying the trade winds-
seeking safe harbor under
an ocean of sky
–
rolling seas-
sails reefed
before the storm
Temptation
clear azure waters
tropical sun overhead
melting my resolve
–
bronzed skin-
one more glass
of dutch courage
Shade
late sun at our backs
walking the path before us-
intertwined shadows
–
passing time-
in the corners
collecting shadows
