Haiku

 

Sitting at my desk

waiting for inspiration.

But, alas, nothing.

Brilliance

so spectacular
but hidden by spectacles
and long eyelashes

twinkly and sparkly

a sign of new love and hope

on your ring finger

Dreams

Once upon a time, there was a girl, who lived in a small town in an even smaller house.  She played and learned and dreamed.  She dreamed about the future and what her life would be like when she grew up.  But even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined it would be like this.

Review

Another year gone

Too many bad days to count

Hope next year improves

Please

Protect me
Keep me safe
From the unknown
From the knowing

Save me
Take me forth
To the bright lights
To the glowing

Hug me
Hold me tight
In your warm arms
Time is slowing.

Preparation

Taken by surprise
Absolutely unprepared
Calm down, deep breath, smile

Addiction

She could feel the urge building.  She needed a fix, but had to find some time alone.  Eventually she retreated to the bedroom and pulled out what she required from under the bed.  She was shaking, unable to contain her excitement.  She fumbled with the power cord.  Finally, she got what she desired most: Facebook.

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

Untitled

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

Better than your dreams
