Sometimes
Days are long
And nights never end
Sometimes
The sun is dim
And moon too bright
Sometimes
Light never shines
And darkness descends
Sometimes
I repent
And other times
I forgive

Play Me
Play Me by Neil Diamond
She was morning, and I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said “Come take me”
For I’ve been lonely in need of someone
As though I’d done someone wrong somewhere
But I don’t know where, I don’t know where
Come lately
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me,
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night, and what was right
Became me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace
Would save me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me……
Flowing River
I manage to stop.
Choking back my tears I smile.
Until I remember.
The river flows again.
Pedestal

I placed him on a pedestal
Because that’s where he needed to be
That’s where he belonged
Until one day he stepped off the pedestal
And disappeared from sight
An unforgettable hero
Leaving broken hearts and footprints
Alone in fading light
Burst Bubbles

Dreams floated away
As one by one they escaped
And as I watched them go
Each delicate membrane
Burst leaving no trace
Of having existed
And all that was
Left was a
Desolate
Space
Woman

Sensuality
Core of woman
Designed for man
Complimenting male’s masculinity
Exquisite female’s femininity
Seduction

I held onto the rose
Savoring its sweet fragrant scent
I held on after all
The hope I had cherished was spent
I inhaled deeply
Stem firmly pressed against my breast
Seduction as a garment –
Wilted petals strewn across my chest
Waters of Love

Floating in a pool of bliss
Carried by waves of peace
Supported by waters of love
Sealed Lips

My lips are sealed
I will not say
The images that crowded
My head today
I thought on you
Though my secrets are mine
Not to be revealed
At least for a time
Fixated
You are in my mind
Like a worm eating it’s
Way through an apple
I’m curious
I’m interested
I’m fixated
Who are you?
Show me
