You Are

You are the crimson in my violet The long-lost dreams hidden deep In the veins of turquoise The sunshine on On gloomy Tuesday mornings Breaking through the cold When the world stops turning And the rays of summer Remain a hundred Nautical miles away You are the flame to my marshmallow Toasting the evening under…

Gender Reveal Party

The sky threw a lavish Gender reveal party Baby blue and Soft pink layers Of chantilly cream Spread across a Grand sponge cake Made in a celestial Bakery Steaming saucers Of milk stood ready For a sweet delicacy Tucked behind The froth of faraway Espresso clouds The world waited And marveled at the Blue and…

Hope

There needs to be A universal Dumpster A vast, unfillable mouth Swallowing The sediment Of our days, Of our existence The gray in the hours The grease stain on a collar Of a morning that started Crisp and pressed – A promise of perfection So the illusions we Neatly fold And the hope we file…

Sleigh

The calendar Shifts – A gentle fall into December We mend our Tired thoughts With ribbons Spun from Christmas lights And shiny bows Speeding through White snowbanks on A gilded sleigh of Dreams Bundled up in cozy Scarves Our warm breath Kisses the icy breeze: a blush on winter’s cheek Kind wishes – like a…

Polka Dots

Not everyone  Loves polka dots –  Some enjoy wrapping Their thoughts in a  Kaleidoscope of Vibrant shades And there are others who Greet the sacred silence Of each new dawn  In stripes and solid Pajama tops Sipping their steaming Lattes from maroon mugs So I have no right to tell  You either What’s the prettiest  On…

Painting

When your thoughts are  A canvas bleached to  Perfection And your visions Sketch a Japanese Garden with Koi ponds gleaming To welcome a Sunrise  A mosquito – a dark speck – Lands on Your dreams Sucking your  Fuzzy hope dry Why deceive Yourself in the mirror  And pen a fairytale  Between the lines When you…

Fall

In the quiet embrace of fall  I lie  Blowing bubbles of troubling Thoughts And watch the gentle Sunshine  Melt them away On the wings of Cotton candy clouds And the blue sky smiles at My thoughts and giggles At my worries Life is just a fleeting game Of search and find – A hide and seek –…

My Mountains

My mountains Stand tall Against the endless Blue prairie above Hugging clouds  And kissing stars An ancient love story Woven over millions Of years between Earth and sky Cradling a  Small lake – Tears of  A crest – Holding hands  With aspen trees Swaying in a soft Embrace A final hug is due Before golden Autumn arrives And as…
