Flower Shopping
Spring has sprung
and flowers kiss
the senses with
scents of damp earth
and vibrant color
and I am eager
ready
for the sweep of
sweet and wild
energies to flow
through the air
and kiss
petals and leaves
like raindrops do
The Little House
A home with a view
waterfront solitude
quiet and still
in a bright little house
we settle inside
and when we have
somewhere to go
we go for a ride
on feathered friends
that share our roof
and snuggle with us
as we wait for winter
to go poof
Intensity’s Focus
You invade
my senses
and fill me up
like popcorn
filling the bag
tucked within
the microwave
in the middle
of the night
until all that I feel
is you
and only you
and you
consume me
completely
Vintage Influences
History lives
in the sweetest
moments
and smallest things
lingering among
the new and shiny
trinkets
of today
and add flavor
to the new
in a way that only
the old
are able to do
Individuality
Bits and pieces
of nature’s detritus
sloughs off
to fall
to the forest floor
lingers and degrades
and as decay
sets in
individuality
is lost
as all melts back
into the soil
and becomes one
once more
End of Day
Slogging onward
ever chilled
as sinking sun
casts warm glow
over distant shore
and fools the senses
into a promise
of warmth
it can’t deliver
as ice cold water
chills the toes
in the embrace
or waterproof boots
This is the landscape
of my emotions
