Relationship
life gets in the way-
in my haste I neglected
to say I love you
–
shifting skies-
one simple
phone call

Sunday
warm morning birdsong-
my love asleep next to me
aglow in the sun
–
robin song-
curtains sway in
the morning breeze
Sleep
your hand grasps my thumb-
our breathing becomes one as
sleep takes you away
–
post bottle-
a twitch wakes you
for just a moment
Campfire
april darkling skies-
picking up dry kindling for
the seasons last fire
–
well worn stories-
glowing embers
float skyward
Grind
reaching from behind
the hands at his neck slowly
loosening his tie
–
watching ants-
his entire life
buttoned down
Spring
blue snow glories-
dry autumn leaves pushed aside
to make way for spring
–
muddy paw prints-
tracking spring
across my floors
Fair
taunting the punters-
precariously balanced
just before the plunge
–
the village fete-
powdered sugar
dusts my shirt
Forest
a forest clearing-
under a thicket the faun
waits for her mother
–
gauzy moonlight-
the woodland’s heart
whispers my name
Senses
sight not born of eyes-
I see every detail of
the shape of your soul
–
winter morning-
the smell of your pipe
still lingers
Travel
married to the road-
leaving you for months on end
for my asphalt bride
–
ragtop down-
the highway
a siren’s song
