  • Sweet Pleasantries

    A honk and a wave, A smile greets you Not able to place the face But you comply Exchange greetings Then she questions your well-being Scrolling through the latest developments You pick an appropriate response, ‘I’m hanging in there. Happy Thanksgiving.’ She returns with the same Then disappears into the sea of lights She is…

  • Climbing up the walls

    You discover them One by one Climbing up the walls Searching for something to satisfy their hunger They gather there Smelling the sweetness calling them They see their chance A long journey has taken place Will they reach their target Or will they be wiped out Only to start over again

  • Unsent letters

    How many love letters do I have to write before they are sent, how many hours do I spend and lament over the impossible dream, the one that can’t be seen, and more and more it seems like it’s never going to be

  • The Shape of Us

    The shape of our love, our version of it, exists in bubbling thoughts of former lives, constant dreams of distant hearts where our lives are entwined Ripples of waves intersect jetting dangerously close but never on the same path turning heads, looking back How do we get off this track without losing control, without knowing…

  • Dear love

    Dear love,Thoughts of you the other day brought smiles. Today thoughts of you produced overrun swells in my eyes. The many years we’ve been separated, but how our hearts have always been close, how many more years will it be like this? Living in fantasy and memories all of the time is no way of…

  • Solipsistic Angst

    She slips into the house unannounced, doesn’t bother a quip when asked to speak. Slams the door shut and begrudgingly takes to her room to retreat. Behind the locking door, music blares. Her demeanor tells everyone she doesn’t care. Her closeted persona is darkness deeper than the black eyeliner coupled with black hair. She’s never…

  • Dancing in the Yard

    It was a long summer afternoon;a crackling fire lit the yard.The southern sun was settingwhile I strummed my old guitar. It was her way of moving to the music—she captured the glowing cinders in her eyes.She danced with the slightest sway in her hips,and her heavenly body torched my skies.
