Welcome
testing the waters-
I dip my toe in to check
if I’ll let you in
–
soft light-
my door
slightly ajar
Category Archives: Love
Cats
two dark silhouettes
framed in the open window
sitting side by side
–
tails twitching-
warm dreams
in the sunlight
Walls
the knife in my back
carved the windows in the walls
I’d built for myself
–
creeping ivy-
ruins of stone
foundations
Return
the lobsterman’s wife
watching the lighthouse at the
dying of the day
–
silent passage-
darkening water
laps the shore
Kiss
home with my regrets
I should have asked for a kiss
when I had the chance
–
your upturned lips-
moths flutter
in the porch light
Escape
alone on the road
speeding towards oblivion
far away from you
–
velvet panic-
our safe word
forgotten
Aged
his paper thin skin
stretched across arthritic hands
so easily bruised
–
a spreading elm-
our initials
overgrown
Memorial
family outings
picnics paid for with the blood
of fallen soldiers
–
small flags-
dates carved
in cold granite
Flow
the wind at your face
sundress flowing out behind
tight against your breast
–
out favorite elm-
your hair spilled
across my chest
Heat
my head in your hands
your eyes locked on mine pushing
hard against my lips
–
ripe cherries-
the sweet taste
of your seduction
