Blue Skies

As she lay on the cool, green grass looking up at the clear, blue sky, she marveled at its purity.  How wonderful it would be to be like that again – pure and untainted, calm and clear.  She had become grey and cloudy and tarnished.  She wondered what it would take to make her shine again.

Too Good To Be True

You snuggled up tight behind me as we lay together.  You wrapped your arms around me and pulled me closer, surrounding me with your body.  You kissed me and whispered, “It’s ok.  I’m here.  I’ve got you.”  I felt safe and protected like never before.  That’s when I knew it was all just a dream.

Cold

She sat there, alone, huddled against the cold.  Beneath the thickening clouds, wind howled and snow spiraled.  She looked up and saw only a shroud of white between herself and the distance.  She shivered, paused for a moment, then swiftly moved the blanket from her lap and crossed the room to turn up the heat.

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.

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.
