Pie In The Sky
Something’s stirring
Perking, brewing
Stewing
I feel it simmering
Bubbling
Threatening to boil over
A half-baked plan
With no recipe
And I’ll serve it up
Garnish it with
Multi-colored sprinkles
Put it on your plate
Watch you slurp
All the love I can dish up

Let Peace Flow
When you see sorrow
of another
Let joy flow from
Your soul
To cover the dark in light
When you hear hatred
toward a neighbor
Let love flow from
Your heart
To cover the hard in softness
When you feel the anguish
of humanity
Let peace flow from
Your mind
To cover the shattered in healing
Another collaboration brought to you by Mish and I. Have a peaceful day!

Out on a Limb
Hearts begin beating
With innocence
Untainted and pure
Helpless they long to be
Loved and nourished
Expecting nothing more
Than other hearts
To improvise
Join in, synchronized
To their sweet song

is this love
or something
else I feel
my cheeks are
pinky my
head’s spinning
it could be
love or some
other spell
Poetic Asides – PAD 26 – “love or anti-love”
“Roots” by Frida Kahlo
I was alone
abandoned
rejected
My world was
cracked
barren
I cried salty tears
of despair
praying for
absolution
redemption
And they watered
the hope which
was buried
almost dead
Slowly tendrils
of mercy
embraced me
and love returned

Covered in Poems
The world is covered in an ocean of poems
That ride in and out with the current(affairs)
They are a tsunami of emotion
A tidal wave of rebellion
We splash and play in the surf of words
And picnic on beaches of smooth syllables
We wiggle our toes in trickles of rhyme
And bathe ourselves in cool rhythms
We are tugged by the undertow of language
Until we’re drowned in a wave of love letters

Quadrille 5 – melt
d’Verse Poets
~
he was not perfect but
I loved him
he was short
out of shape but
so am I
he had a smile that
made me smile
dreamy eyes
for only me
time has come to
say goodbye
the sun is warmer
frosty is melting
At Real Toadswe’re Under an Influence for the Weekend-Mini
I used Memorizing “The Sun Rising” by John Donne, by Billy Collins as my inspiration
~
i tried to memorize
your eyes
your nose
your mouth
so that when you
were gone
(or maybe i)
the image would remain
i tried to remember
the feel of
your skin
your hair
your breath on my neck
so that when you
went away
(or maybe i)
some sense of you would remain
now here, alone, they fade but
from the next room
from the next town
your image
your touch
are the beats of my heart
that i call love
A flower was offered to me
but I wanted a garden
A tree was offered to me
but I wanted the forest
A raindrop was offered to me
but I wanted the storm
A moonbeam was offered to me
but I wanted the night
A grain of sand was offered to me
but I wanted the beach
Your love was offered to me
but I wanted your soul
