Snowflakes......

upon my wake
makes me smile

drifting down
if only for awhile
on this town

white like diamonds

tear drops of rain

frozen 
like my heart

makes a snowflake

sparkle

vanishing

on my black dress

like jets in the night.

Tic Toc

A clock

the wind up kind

that woke me

with a shrill of bells

tic toc

since I was 7

gifted to me by my Nanny

that was pure heaven

A clock

that Mother gave away

when I left home to college

a sadness I kept at bay

A clock

that I spot

as I walk

into a vintage boutique

5000 miles away

in Paris

my childhood clock

that has returned

home

with me.

Only at Night

You come to me

only at night

for that time

it feels so real

this glass apartment

high in the sky

with wrap around balcony

we walk hand in hand

your kiss

the summer scent of you

I most miss

as we talk

daylight breaks

your fading

screaming at me

to close my eyes

to wait for darkness

you’ll be back

I awake 

alone 
in the apartment.

Fortnight

A hallway

dark like black

the click

of my heels

echoes

the emptiness

that your back.

Repose

Waking from my dream

desperately seeking

to go back

to find the moments

of pure ecstasy

flying as me

above in the sky

where I’m destined to be

slowly becoming

a vague memory.

~a dream I had last night~

End of Summer

I’m one

with the sun

these last

couple of weeks

the last of

stifling heat

I wish would

forever keep

I pack my bag

well aware

when the

cool night air

whispers

summer’s fading

it’s like

 a lost love affair.

Mermaid

Across the sea

beyond the concrete wall

is where I want to be

swimming like a mermaid

I would so have it made

not be real

just for a day.

~maxi dress made by me~

at dawn

When sleep evades me

a design

for a new dress is made

carefully sewn

ready for

when I leave home.

I start my

little white car

acceleration

always a rush

the sun

I barely feel

as I drift

towards the sea

From a water of blueness

I feel the crystal white sand

the heat of the sun

the powerful waves

crashing down

enticing me

to the dark caves

where I might find

another soul

who calls

this paradise home.

inspired by 

Poets United

my obsessions

sewing, driving, the beach

Butterfly in Black

Flying at night

no one can see

their beauty

but me

flying in threes

how they used to be

now just a painted memory.

Summer for 2

Hot blazing sun

waking up

to another scorching day

it seems it will never rain

whispers she

revel in the moments

of remoteness

says he.

Forgiveness

What keeps you awake

is your soul

protecting your heartbreak

their spewing of bile

with the mask of a smile

that makes you feel 

completely unreal

try to surrender

your mind to peace

& the flood of anxiety

will cease

forgiveness

will lift that

burden of hate

& give you faith

the power to move on

to trust another soul

to someday bond.

Night Driving

to nowhere

to see no one

just driving

I pass by

and glance up

to

remember

another time

when

there was

 someone to see

somewhere to be

before you left me.

A Charmed Life

The jingling sound of her charms

forever takes me back in time

the dangling icons

making me wish

they were mine.

I got my wish

at the end

 of her time

too sad

for her to know

how her charms

make me think of her so.

The ghost of me....

What I once was

was what I hide

until I met you

& became your bride

Time has passed

& the ghost of me

comes alive.

another day.....

to face the light

trying to keep up

before night.
