Her

All she wore was a smile His favorite cloth Woven from good intentions He was ready to get lost in her ­­­­­­­­­­­kingdom Devour her ecstasy Swim in her lake Bathe in her waterfall Drown in her oasis Hunt for the key that unlocked the door to her fortress Vacation in her paradise Seek asylum in…

Fall into Autumn

Fall into Autumn Frolic in its fallen leaves dressed in colors that adorn the harvest moon Envelope yourself in all things flannel From shirts to blankets Share stories around the roaring campfire Lighting the chilly night Cataloging those summer days recently passed to be merely memories Fall into Autumn Find those wooly socks buried deep…

Say It

You say it behind my back Hateration is your specialty. I beg you to face me And utter what’s weighing down your conflicted heart. List it all one by one Tell me all your grievances Until you reach a hundred and one Tell me my hair is too big That my curls are too unruly…

Stare into my eyes and tell me what you see. A portrait painted with beauty and innocence Or a collection of pixels illustrating magnificence?

I Don’t Know

Maybe my dress was too tight I don’t know Maybe my skirt was too short I don’t know Maybe my blouse was too low I don’t know Or my yoga pants too firm fitting I don’t know Maybe my maxi dress was too loose, How that one strip falls off my shoulder I don’t know…
