A place for poems and pics
A Simple Valentine’s Day
I pull on my valentine socks
The gray striped ones with
Shiny hearts all over them
I made you a pop-up card
That says ‘I *heart* you
You bought me six chocolate roses
And a chai latte
No lavish dinner
No giant heart shaped box
No wine and candlelight
No serenade
We know that love is in
The small things
Looks exchanged
The gentle touch of a hand
An old song remembered
The everyday gestures
That we do not take for
Granted

The Journey
Come be my friend
Just for a while
Set sail with me
Just for a mile
Let’s see the world
Through different eyes
Discover truths
We thought were lies
Let’s trust our hearts
To know the way
To find the words
With which to pray
For fellowship
And peace and love
An olive branch
A snow white dove
Come be my friend
Just for awhile
Set sail with me
Just for a mile

stone – still
—
A dash of paint
Glimmering eyes that
Seem to touch my soul
Yet it is stone – still
D’Verse Poets Pub – Quadrille #50 – murmur
De has us murmuring to ourselves at the Pub today
–
Heart Condition
An affliction of the heart
Not a-pitter or a-patter
No whooshing, beating,
Thrumming sound
Something softer
Smoother
Steady
A whisper
That continues
Through the day
And through the night
A comforting small murmur
Of your voice repeating
“I love you”
Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip, 10 February 2018

Birthday Cake
Icing
Ooey, gooey
Licking, sticking, dripping
Fingers swiping yummy mouthfuls
Frosting

Silver wings tip and glide
In a choreographed dance
Contrails criss-cross the heavens
And the air is full of sound
Three Line Thursday at Ink In Thirds
Feb 1 – Fly Free
I also followed De to this little community
I dream of leaving winter behind
To search for solace and bright sunshine
And then, I find it in your smile
Meeting the Bar at d’Verse Poets Pub
Paul has challenged us to give The Ghazal a try
~
Where is Love
A tear-streaked face up-turned to the sky
Searched every day for signs of love in the sky
A shape, a word, a flash of light – but
Not even silent clouds floated in the sky
Unbroken, endless blue and nothing more
No flying bird or breath of wind across the sky
Then gently wafting, starting softly like a whisper
Tender notes began to travel through the sky
They lead me down a winding lane to you
And there is love waiting for me – not in the sky
Poetics – Through the looking glass – d’Verse Poets Pub
Bjorn has us stepping up to the mirror behind the bar
~
Mirror On The Wall
The face in the mirror
Tried to give me a flawed update
Fake news
False report
But I fact-checked those
Negative statements
Googled the hearsay
Then turned out the light

dormant hope
is turning green
love left fallow
emerges
