The lights were off
There was no one home
I called your name
I called for you
But my voice
Echoed back to me
You were not here
You were nowhere
And your absence
Lingers still

Thirst
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Ripped from the Headlines!.”
My thirst overwhelms
I crawl to a well
But the water is dried
I long for a drop of
Moisture on my tongue
But there is none
If water is life
Then we are dead

Craving
Alone
I crave you
You are my fantasy
I dream of you and
When I wake
My desire
Is only
For
You
Wish
If I could wish you
Next to me
Holding me
Caressing me
Touching me
Kissing me
If I could wish you
Loving me
I would
One Word Photo Challenge: Summer
Cascading Lilac
Flower petal bells
Singing songs of summer sun –
Cascading lilac
Ornate
Ornate in nature
Bursting out of the pod that
Births the flower child
Designed for You
I love your hands upon my skin
I love your eyes searching mine
I love your lips upon my own
I love how nature designed me
For you
And I so much
Love you
Loving me
Coming Back For More
“Seems like yesterday
Not far away
When she first came to him
She took him by surprise
He closed his eyes
And sinking tried to swim
She never closed the door
So he came back for more”
Ed Jordan, Proudly South African 1997
Omigosh, this triggers memory and emotion in me.
Truth Serum
What do we do
When we find out who we really are?
What do we say
When we realize we don’t like the person we’ve become
When can we say
About our dreams and desires and hopes
What can we dream
When we wish ourselves and lives away
What do we do
What can we say
What can we wish
What can we dream
?
