Cricket songs grace the night air
mingling with the rush of rain
and the leaky toilet.
Your snoring subsides
to uneven breathing
while I lay in the dark
eyes wide open
forgetting what it feels like
to sleep, to dream, to rest
or remember how.

A Chance to Say I love You
dVerse Tuesday Poetics - Dream
A Chance to Say I Love You
All the world changes
and I grow older still;
Only a single heartbeat
to keep me company.
and I grow older still;
Only a single heartbeat
to keep me company.
You too have left me,
so long ago I scarce remember
Yet every night
you wrap your cold hands
around mine, leading me
to someplace new,
so long ago I scarce remember
Yet every night
you wrap your cold hands
around mine, leading me
to someplace new,
on another wild adventure.
In the land of dreams
we make love in the grass,
sing under the midnight stars
and dance until the morning light.
In the land of dreams
we make love in the grass,
sing under the midnight stars
and dance until the morning light.
In the land of dreams
your hair never grays
and I do not forget
to say I love you.
your hair never grays
and I do not forget
to say I love you.
Winter Dreams
Quadrille #96 - wild
Winter Dreams
Siberian iris stems
rattle gently;
My winter garden
rattle gently;
My winter garden
muddy grey.
The heart wanders
remembering
spring’s first pink buds
The heart wanders
remembering
spring’s first pink buds
royal purple iris,
golden daffodils,
hum of insects,
the pip of a woodpecker.
the pip of a woodpecker.
I walk a sanctuary
wild with color,
full of fresh scents
and hope.
and hope.

Spring Grasses
waving spring grasses
fertilized by ancient memories
of our summer dreams

Snowflakes
Carpe Diem #1577 snowflakes (kazahana)
final recital
toddlers in white tutus join
dance of the snowflakes
moonlit night
delicate snowflakes dance
adorning the woods
