Bewitched
A lady of stature,
Baroness Verdonna.
Candy red adorned.
Diamond in your sight.
Elegance unmatched.
Fine features.
Gorge on her beauty.
Hazel eyes.
Immerse yourself in them.
Jolted with enchantment.
Kiss her hand.
Love her essence.
Maidens allure.
Natural grace.
Obsessive thoughts.
Pledge your soul.
Quest for her favor.
Realize she is all.
Surrender to her.
Treasure her presence.
Ultimately losing yourself.
Voice your love.
Win her heart.
Xanthan to her.
You won’t regret it....

Blues Umbrella
You stole my sunshine.
Caught in your rainy weather.
Looking for shelter.
Caught in your rainy weather.

Stardust
Water crashed
on the shore
in the silent
hours of the night,
you slumbered.
I came to you
as a whisper
birthed
from the moon’s
celestial glow.
Even though
you weren’t
searching,
you felt complete
with my presence.

Playing The Card
I can clean up well.
Eat your heart out,
though it’s just a shell.
You don’t have clout
here to use as currency.
I am beyond you.
Stop calling me with urgency.
It wasn’t me who blew
our relationship to smithereens.
I outran your lies
and became a queen.
I no longer cry.

Apples and Pumpkin Spice - with Adagio
In autumn's wind, apple cheeks are red
trees have shed their leaves of mascara
with strings and songs of Mantovani.
Whispers lay silent on the porch glider
and the Goldenrod grows taller
as the cornstalks grow their chowder.
The Scarecrows become ventriloquist
throwing the voices among shadows
Listening as plums harvest the wine
in autumn's wind, apple cheeks are red.
The aromas of pumpkin spice
are carried by the gentle breeze
that brushes my hair across my eyes.
While dusk approaches
the cold edge of the wind ...
trees have shed their leaves of mascara
with strings and songs of Mantovani.
Whispers lay silent on the porch glider
and the Goldenrod grows taller
as the cornstalks grow their chowder.
The Scarecrows become ventriloquist
throwing the voices among shadows
Listening as plums harvest the wine
in autumn's wind, apple cheeks are red.
The aromas of pumpkin spice
are carried by the gentle breeze
that brushes my hair across my eyes.
While dusk approaches
the cold edge of the wind ...

Chips Deluxe Rainbow Cookie
So you say
you want to taste
the rainbow
and cherry colored
lips part
to grant wishes
while sunkist
kisses land just below
your cheek bone
and lemons wedges
shoved between
your incisors
cause jade eyes
to shed tears
but not from sorrow
and cerulean
is the outline
of your aura
while your indigo
mind embraces
the idea
that I am royalty
an my cookie
is the stuff of legends
and just one bite
can cause a
diabetic coma.

Summing Up The Journey
Hatching from an egg
one rarely knows what’s to come.
I molted and grew.
Went through metamorphosis
and now I just span my wings.

Tart To Sweet
Now life is throwing
lemons at me, so I cut
them for lemonade.
lemons at me, so I cut

Delilah
Now strikes the hour
when mischief grows
and I deliver a whisper
before night’s decaying shadow.
Come into my garden of darkness
where secrets bloom.
Lose your way in my essence,
crawl into the womb.
Let my petals caress you
revealing my true intent.
Passion travels through you
without consent.
Just under the full moon’s
delicate shine
I take over your free will
and make you mine.

You Don't Get to See
You don’t
get to see
the wounds
you left behind
because I wear
long sleeves.
~I grieve~
You don’t
get to see
my tears
because
I wear
my aviators.
~You’re a traitor~
You don’t
get to see
my broken heart
because
there’s now a void
where it resided.
~Love misguided~
You don’t
get to see
the love I carry
because
I bury it
in my keep.
~Beyond the deep~
You don’t
get to see
anything
because
I...
get to see
the wounds
you left behind
because I wear
long sleeves.
~I grieve~
You don’t
get to see
my tears

I wear
my aviators.
~You’re a traitor~

Once Bitten, Twice Shy
My phone rings
and it’s him.
Asking me
for a second chance.
So, I humor
the conversation,
only because
I miss the romance.
As I cry
he moves in
for the kill,
I’m caught
in his trance.
My eyes
start to form
into heart shapes
and I believe
at first glance.
I give way some,
showing up
and for a moment
we dance.
The record breaks.
Fool me once,
you’re a dick,
fool me twice,
I’m the dumbass
and that’s my stance.
and it’s him.

Tears
Salty reminders
break away
and roll
down my cheek
as the song
playing
in the background
hits its peak.
