Without winter nights
there’s no reason for cuddling

Be
Belief in karma
Is a real bitch sometime
Non-belief always
*
Always
The love never had
Is love never forgotten
Heart always broken
*
Thanksgiving
Rainbow on a plate
Sharing the diversity
Thankfully giving

Birthday Cake-
Candles blaze, wax pools.
Sugar glazed time on a dish.
Slices of life shared.
Familiar Paths-
Life’s familiar path:
Birth, growth, love, toil and refresh,
relax and recall.
Birthday Wish-
They said “Make a wish”
I wish it not my birthday.
WAIT! – Nope! – didn’t work.

Truth
Lie in darkness, yearn
Lie in the sun and you’ll burn
Lie not then you learn
*
Fetching
Old dogs learn new tricks
Not jumping over fences
Just finding new treats
*
Make Some Dots
Some connect the dots
Some follow the rigid lines
Some create the dots

Tried & True
In relationships
when each are always trying
trying it becomes

The Vine
Only love and hate
are truly perpetual
False choices whither

Hindsight
I’ve seen the future
and it’s only clear and bright
when it’s made that way

The value of life
is not what’s made of given.
But time spent liven.

If love was defined
and the worlds’ hopes undenied
the poet side lined.

Destinations drive.
Life’s intersections give route.
All roads lead somewhere.

Waiting for summer
All long year – overly hot
When finally here

Time
Please lend me your hand
It takes two to tell the time
Moments together
Pursuit
Seek love with open
Eyes, heart and your mind
True love you shall find
Perpetual
Sand beneath our feet
Forever in shapely glass
Tumbling together

Yield
When frustration stays
Stress and anxiety start
Depression follows
~
Stop
Writers block happens
Writing writes its own right time
Minds need recharging

Go
The signs never clear
Signals usually crossed
Paths always lead on

Our Wrinkle in Time
Work is what we do,
when not doing what we want.
Like death but with pay.
~
Constant Ripples
Time is space between.
Between matters and doesn’t.
Distance less with light.
~
Perpetual Emotion
Love is energy.
Hearts, minds and bodies unite.
Time accelerates.

Will~
Tell me can, I might
Tell me don’t, I probably won’t
Tell me can’t, I will

Got Haiku~
Bodies’ three lines strong
Small words quenching thirsty minds
Mother’s milk of souls

Time~
Hands of time tell all
To put their best face forward
For the best of times

and spits ink defensively?

A world imagined
Of peace, love and harmony
It’s you, who and me

All’s Right-
One can write better
Edit more or rewrite more
But you can’t write wrong

Futures Gain-
When fire fought with fire
Ash is all that will remain
Till tomorrows rain

Hibernation-
Winter’s yet arrived
All ready spring’s on my mind
Please wake me in time

A life spent digging
Both gravediggers and artists
Always in the hole

What can sometimes tease,
may devastate or please, yet
always nurtures? Rain

Changing Times
Morning, the air still
Quiet of mind, time’s perking
Windy thoughts lurking

Static Thinking
Perpetuity
Is energy, laziness
Is perpetual

Choosing Battles
I love to write in
Metaphor, beautiful yet
Mostly meaningless

You can’t buy happy
Though a smile can be rented
Sadness always free

Howling
There once was a spark.
The spark’s now gone; all is dark.
Time to e-embark.

Shootin’ Blanks
Reasons to pack heat:
Security issues or
insecurity.

Lost in Space
Opinions matter,
Facts and truth matter more.
Tomorrows tell all.

Too Read
Daily poetry
The soothing of a poets heart
But for lover’s not

That’s Not Funny
Self-deprecation
Is laughing at our failings
And with good reason
~
Failing to See a Point
No longer obsessed
By success or of failure
I’m used to failure
