A Romp in the Woods
Come lie with me
under long limbed trees
dripping with
sweetly scented moss
and let time slide by
as we stare at the sky
from under shaded
canopy’s embrace
let earth’s sweet voice
whisper softly
and the breeze thread
through your hair
The Great Escape
Let’s sail away
and leave behind
all the worries
and stress
as we face
the open sea
and turn into
a radiant sunset
welcoming us
to new
carefree adventures
together
hand in hand
Comfort Found
In loving kisses
and quiet words
In time spent
together
doing simple things
that create
a sense of
quiet peace
and togetherness
No clash and bang
no harsh intensity
just you and I
Together
Convoluted
Panic sets in
late at night
and hours tick by
as I close my eyes
yet sleep evades
as I wait
and wait
Worries flood
though the brain
and the low hum
of stress
goes on and on
6am… hurry up
and release me
from this hell
Too Little
A little rain
just a bit
not enough
just a kiss
I need more
it didn’t keep
through the hours
of summer heat
come back please
and rain s’more
I want muddy trails
and soggy moss
please… more
Taking the Day
Wouldn’t it be nice
to have a day
with no obligations
and
no responsibilities
where the only thing
to worry about
is napping too long
as you float along
at ease and relaxing
upon the seas
of sweet surrender
before paddling
back to shore
