Gideon’s Challenge

Mossy BranchesSpring is Coming

A moment’s pause
to breathe in deep
of fresh moist air
cool and sweet
scented of pine
and cedar boughs
as the quiet
soaks in
winter’s end
slips into spring
and impatience comes
to see everything
from fuzzy moss
to winter red tips
and brand new buds
and little green bits

Giant KoiTogether

Lets float along
just you and I
for a little while
together
as the currents
of life
wash by
in ebb and flow
and we let
the world
spin on
without our
interference
or protest

Roots and BranchesLuck or Fate

How is it
that I became
so lucky
as to find someone
that knows me
so well
that they can see
what I will see
and know
without a doubt
what lies in my heart
is a tangle of
roots and branches

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Envy in the Parking Stalls

Prompt: “Pull (at least) three cards from your deck and use them to write about the daydream of a vehicle of your choice. (ex: a train or plane, yours or your neighbor’s car, a city bus, etc.)”

Golden Age of Romance Comics Tarot - The Sun, The Star, The Emperor, Two of Cups, Three of Wands, Six of Pentacles, Ace of Wands

Look at her over there tucked in her stall, all beautiful and eager and ready to go at a moment’s notice (Ace of Wands). She’s so clean and cared for, shiny and bright (The Star). I’d purr like a kitten too (The Sun) if I had an owner like hers (The Emperor). He really knows how to pamper her, going out of his way to provide for her needs (Six of Coins). We’d see the world together if he were mine (Three of Wands and Two of Cups).

DECK USED: GOLDEN AGE OF ROMANCE COMICS TAROT

CloudsDependably You

You come to me
in dreams
with warm hands
calloused and rough
and a soft mouth
hot and wet
and I wake
gasping
energy reaching
as I seek you out
and find you
waiting
and ready
always ready

IMG_0141Sweet Mornings

I want to
reach for you
among
tangled sheets
and find warm flesh
to press upon mine
as we roll and shift
to get closer
with low chuckles
and quiet gasps
until we fit together
like puzzle pieces
that are
never meant
to be apart
