Absence

My heart grows fonder
As each day passes us by
With you there, me here

There is a shadow
Upon my aching body
Where you once held me

Off to war you went
Idealist through and through
When will you return?

Meditate

Find a quiet place

Close eyes, relax, wait for peace

Instead: “Mama!”... Sigh…

Gold Coast

Beguiling, baby-faced boys

boasting beautiful butts

skin smooth as silk

sensual, sexy smiles

awesome abs.

Arrogant, awkward.

Prancing, preening, posing,

pole dancing.

Just a Moment

I’d been watching him for a few minutes before he noticed me.  He looked up as he passed and our eyes met.  We both smiled, cautiously but genuinely, before he was swept away by the crowd.  The subway doors closed, the train lurched forward and I revelled in the lingering happiness of a shared moment.

Fleeting

Once upon a time

There was love neverending

Or so we believed

What lies beneath

Is a treasure trove

May I bequeath

What my pure heart wove

Urge forth by might

Discover my soul

Immersed in light

I am truly whole

Winds of Change

Finally, the change she’d been hoping for arrived.  After months of waiting, she felt the temperature drop and the moisture in the air.  She saw the rain falling in the distance and hoped that the winds would bring it here; that this hope she now saw in front of her would not pass her by.

Doing what you do

Like nobody on this earth
