Words
Animal attraction Drawn like magnets Chemical reaction None of that action Words change hearts Conversation draws near Thoughts exchanged with The one you call dear If I have my druthers It’s the words she utters Takes me further Makes me shudder Better sweet whispers Lips on ear shivers Like fingers on the river Bubbling brook rushes With one look she hushes With her eyes she touches Things I can’t control Words change hearts Conversation draws near Thoughts exchanged with The one you call dear Continue reading Words

counting clouds like candy
planting hints like daisies
hoping you pick one
before winds wipe
wishes away Continue reading Preposition me

Why do we blindly
bounce words off
heads until hearts
lie lifeless
on the floor
of eternity Continue reading Thousands
Silhouette
Made yourself
at home in my heart
Hollowed out holes
in the shape of us
Silhouettes
sneaking peaks thru
poetry in poems Continue reading Silhouette
Souvenirs
She collects hearts
Like souvenirs
Pens love rhymes
Like buttoneers Continue reading Souvenirs

Inside every old man
Sits a boy who
never grows up
His mind plays games
Some on its own
Some as he claims
his body’s on loan Continue reading Inside
