I happened upon an oak tree,
And an autumn breeze.
A friendship of wind and tree.
The breeze shakes the branches,
The leaves giving color to the wind.
Soulmate's these
Working in nature.
Oak tree, yellow and orange
Autumn breeze, cool and swift
Leafs rain from the heavens
Daylight peeking through.
As winter came to the valley
It froze the air.
The breeze became bitter,
The leaves turned brown
Winter tested their bond.
The oak tree became bare,
The autumn breeze blew away

Splurge
dirty jack up
cranked the telly!

(what a racket)

hot ,sleazy summer
street
sun sharp chrome
tight denim treats
bright neon flips
and dirty ..
heeled..
feet

On Valentine Card
I penned from my heart, rubies
and pearly corals.

Their luster has dulled
yet, our laughter swirls
caged within my ribs

Memories soon bloom
in my crestfallen gloom, when
lilies fill their space.

On delicate stalks,
these lilies perform, a ballet
on their tip toeing toes.

When the curtain falls,
I reach out for your arms, to
rid my void of woes.

Like a gentle breeze
sweeping over the fields, you
brush my sparkling pearls.

Let me stand here in the driven rain
in an overcoat that's near as old as me
with mind turned inward once again
trying not to feel the pain.

All around as far as I can see
the world is different shades of gray
and it has naught to do with me.
I wonder how this came to be.

As each year goes on its own way
I find I become more alone,
time washes all I love away
just like the rain on this wet day.
