until the sun

I stand in line to buy lemons and limes
while reminiscing on the
times

enthralled and divined
while feelings keep coming up

Iโ€™ve tried to stopโ€ฆ

I would be honored if you would go here to read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

butterfly sensations

stones fall from my eyes
holding my breath, I try

to understand the fields of sorrow
before me

while the image of you lingers in the streams
of tumbleweed

weโ€™ve deemed, a point in the past that seems
like a memory, in between

the one, two, and three tests that come on fast

while I continue to hold my last breath

fear begins to arise
a swelling and butterfly sensation in times of trepidation cries

as I finally exhale a sigh
and the love within me begins to fly


In response to the WDYS #130 prompt, from Keep it Alive by Sadje

rose sky

roses fill the sky
with the fragrance of the tide

as petals sing to the moon
under the canopy of our afternoon

know

thereโ€™s always been a piece of me in you

a mirror or two
reflects back our love

while we climb the ladder of chaos

still embossed
with an evening of frost

as we set off
on a journey to reclaim our love lost

cloudless drifter

oranges and limes fill the sky
a scent reminiscent of another time

when love was like a drop of candy in the winter
and the fields were dusty

a cloudless drifterโ€ฆ

the magic in you

the tree climbs through my veins
a richness profane

like a sacred text masquerade

speaking to me of burnt amber
and a subtle and textured decanter

filled with life brimming within its core

Have you ever felt this kind of love before?

itโ€™s just around the corner from here
in a field made from love gifted true

and as I kept watch, you grew

while the feelings ran through
like the magic already living inside of you

The Moonโ€™s Lullaby

moon night, I shine,
bottomless love is divineโ€ฆ

I had a conversation with the moon once. It was long ago, during a mist-covered evening, I was feeling quite lonely, and out of the ordinary. That evening the moon shined brighter than Iโ€™d ever seen.

It did almost feel likeโ€ฆ

Earth Our Home

I sit atop the stairs, reminiscing on times fair, and difficult beyond repair. As the pain continues to arise, and the memories flood my mind, my heart continues to wage a war with love at the center of despair.

I pick myself up, dust off the self, andโ€ฆ

cinnamon wisps

trees drip with cinnamon wisps, as
cardinal points tug at
my heart

directing me toward the riverfront

while walking along the sand, beneath
my feet, pebbles
stand

reminding
me of diamonds
encrusted with love,
made of dreams from above

they poke and prod, feelings shod, while
reminiscence floods
my mind

and I let love go byโ€ฆ

wafting in the
stream, I continue to
believe

in the love โ€”

Iโ€™ll forever beโ€ฆ

running through the flowers

the road unfolds along a dirt abode, where travelers
come together seeking
shelter

from
the
storm

rising with the sun, learning more in the afternoon
glow, hints of colors soโ€ฆ

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
