I Wish I Was Blind

You turned my head and caught my eye
Stole my kisses before stealing my heartBeing lured into your world made my head spin
And it turned into a dream come true
As we danced together in the moonlight under the twirling starsI collected myself when the road got…
Poetry of Peace

The sun is slowly lowered in the sky
As the clouds begin their restI put the kettle on to boil
Gazing up at it all
Watching the sky slowly burn off the dayTonight wondering what to do with today’s end of afternoon
I will sip tea
And watch the sky…
Different With A Common Thread

They both look like movie stars but not alike
Handsome in their own right
Kind
Sweet
One black
One white
Divergent personalitiesIn their glory days one a football hero
The other a baseball starBut there’s common ground

Where I wait soaking wet
For the rainbow

Moving Blindly

I see where we are going
Down a mysterious path together
With no destination in sightMy eyes are open
To see if we can just enjoy the ride
To nowhere

A Short Period of Enjoyment and Wild Behavior

Snow has melted cold winds given way to beautiful
Warm breezes
Coats are packed away
Water is calling
Grass is greener nowAll of it drawing a long known stranger
Closer and closer
Summer heat melted us together
For wild enjoymentSummer has just begun
Let’s swim in it
For the possibilities…
