Our Planet

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Interplanet Janet.”

Our planet is perfect
It is made for us
The weather is warm
But not too hot
The people are friendly
And not too cold
We dream at night and
Live each day
In choosing a planet
I’d choose to stay

Attraction

Retro Young Love Couple Vintage Train Setting

In that moment of your eyes
Meeting with mine I felt
That leap of joy and
Knew my heart
Would never
Be the
Same

The Piano

image

I feel the keys beneath my hand
I hear the music in my mind
The notes of love and fear and life
Surround me as the crystal
Sounds fill me with a welcome peace

Waterfall

waterfall

Water rushing as fast as it can go
Over the edge, submitting to
The power that will take it
Where nothing is
Promised but
The earth
Below

Virgin Hearts

image

In seasons past we sat and talked
About life and death and everything
We spoke about the future and we laughed
Enraptured by what we both had found
Never enough, always wanting more
Our virgin hearts so unafraid
Of hurt or pain of going there
Oh! How my heart bleeds in my chest
When all I see now is an empty chair

Running Scared

image

I’m scared
Of so many things
I’m scared
Of not being needed
I’m scared
Of not being able to cope
I’m scared
Of going back to corporate life
But most of all
I’m scared
Of losing you
