List
surrounded yet alone
love unspoken heart broken
just a token kiss
now and again like a friend
too infrequent to miss
and if you insist
on something more, like this
like I would kiss
you’re dismissed
one more check on the list
you keep folded up in the corner of your mind
Continue reading List
Miss Fortune
That was my Miss Fortune
Rags to riches
Sad sack to fancy britches
My wishes became her which’s
Invisible threads kept her in stitches
Breezily spun easily won quickly undone Continue reading Miss Fortune

Until now
The birds sang
The bees buzzed
The flowers sprang
The seas gushed

almost burning
still smooth
flowing free Continue reading Tea

So I made her my mine
Heavily invested
Should’ve been arrested
God as my witness Continue reading Overstock

In a way strange
on the day

the mess I was in
Now I rearrange
the furniture Continue reading Rearrange

Rehearse
In an alternate universe
where your no meant yay
where blessing is a curse
you would have said stay
when you meant the reverse
then that’d be the day
we’d meet to rehearse
the words you’ll never say
Continue reading Rehearse
Seek
If you want to
Live it up
Never give up
Never quit
Just sit
In peace
in prayer
with purpose
In chorus
In concert Continue reading Seek

Complete love gifted
Conditions lifted
Compassion sifted
Shaken, sprinkled, unsparingly

Back
I hear
sweet talk
on the sidewalk
as you pass my way
makes me say
I wish I could stay
my day with you
But you never
look back
at me Continue reading Back
Claim
no laments
no latent strain
when she lay claim
to my soul’s contents
she sings
lie down
lay low
let’s listen Continue reading Claim
Siren
Our island swing
waves sing
slow current
sunburnt
the siren sang
a mermaid’s call
in a trance
I began to fall
sinking fast
for you Continue reading Siren
