I wait
in the hollow place
for you
You happily celebrate
the concavities
but appreciate
the complexities
of the convexities.
In hollow places
grace erases traces
of solemnity and
embraces totality,
while
I wait
for you.
poem- triage July 19, 2014
Are you breathing?
Are you beating?
Are you bleeding?
Are you broken?
.
Breathless
Heart pounding
Blood surging
In pieces
.
Do they
hospitalize
for
Love?

Happy Anniversary, handsome. Sam Heughan has nothing on you.
poem-trysts July 15, 2014
In quiet corners
obsession lingers
eyes stuck tight
while passion flames.
Wrapped in arms,
stroked, caressed,
paper thin
each moment savoured
with lingering longings
until with sighs,
the last
page is turned.

poem-tolls July 14, 2014
He pays the toll
peck east
peck west
She’s the vehicle for
this journey
over-heavy for the road
burdened by billboards
Her engine rattles,
clanks,
thuds
down the road.
The convoy carries on
taking
a toll.
poem- dancing July 13, 2014
She wouldn’t dance.
But still
he spun her in circles
twisted her arms
flipped her over
spun her again
’til she was dizzy.
And yet
she wouldn’t dance.
poem-bursting July 12, 2014
Yesterday
she was a closed bud
Today
she’s burst into pink frills
dusted with yellow
streaked with purple.
Tomorrow
she may fade
but today
she is a glory.
poem-silence July 11, 2014
She fills the sky
with a rainfall of words,
a hurricane of syllables,
a thundering of sentences.
She brews a storm,
but he stands impermeable
in silent eloquence
amid her eye.
poem-timeless July 10, 2014
On this
summer day,
lost in you,
I see no end.

This poem is my 1500th post! 🙂
There are a few ways to read this one, each painting a slightly different picture.
