Is This For Me?
How did I get
so very lucky
to find
this treasure
that’s just for me?
With each day
that passes
it becomes
that much more
precious,
as each day
my love grows.

My Skin Blooms
Pink petals
like sensitive flesh
delicate
and sweet.
Bristled whiskers
graze
and
create a blush
of color
making everything
that much more
tender.

Walk With Me
I want
to take a walk
with you
and together
breathe in
the fresh air
and whispered
scent of
autumn decay
that rides
upon a crisp
October breeze.

That Itch
Why
does it always
seem
that the itch
I want to scratch
is just
out of reach
when
I’m wanting
to scratch it
so damned bad?

Jagged Tips
Sharp peaks
break above
a blanket of white
to whisper
goodnight
to the setting sun
as cool
blue shade
washes over
cloudy planes
to deepen
the shadows below.

Peeling Paint
The green will fade
and leaves will fall
but the paint
of seasons gone
remains
Some say
watching paint dry
is boring
but to watch it peel
can be
a lesson in
fascination.
