Ignorance Broken

I want to turn
my head away
and pretend
that all is well
but danger
keeps me alert
and wary
no matter
how much
I want to believe
everything
will be okay
in the end

Paraphernalia

Scattered bits
of this and that
functional
and not
strewn across
table top
and pushed off
to the side
like my emotions
in cacophonous
roar
that I ignore
but its still there
sharp edges
and all

Photosynthesis

Brand new pennies
can’t shine
quite as bright
as I do
under your gaze
that feeds
my needs
like sunshine
upon the petals
of a flower
and eagerly
I stretch toward you
for more

The Beg

I am
eager
waiting
anticipating
and
so very ready
for you

Please.

Squishy

I want to tromp
barefoot
through grass
and muddy water
and feel the squish
of wet soil
between my toes
as the icy water
makes toe tips
tingle
in the cold bite
of snow melt
from
mountain tops
far away

The Eternity

Time stretches long
like a rubber band
pulled taut
and the inch it was
becomes
a foot… or more
as seconds stretch
into minutes
and then hours
as time becomes
an expanse
never ending

and then suddenly
snaps
back into place
without warning
