sunhat veiled
your eyes
but that
smile
spread like frosting
‘cross your
lips–
too buttery
to kiss,
while modest blouse
covered
skin
but not all heat
within.
mindfulness
squeaky hinges,
ice cream
binges–
slow air melts
my heart,
dripping cone on
my stroll
home,
past kids in
splash pad park.
heat hits as fans
quit-
lawn’s lit
up
like backyard
torch,
extended sun on
days of
fun–
recedes all rain
in rainbow
brain..
chillin’ on front
porch.
shall we wander till
so lost
we don’t know
our way
back?
let’s not squander all
this daylight
in search of
past.
won’t fade on
you..
just hold your
light up-
i’m never
far from mind,
yes, i’ll wait
on you,
to find the
power
to..
while i search
for mine.
awkward, yet
sincere,
he perseveres when
others mock,
not afraid to
talk the
truth,
even if his words
aren’t clear.
she sees blue earth
beneath lives
scattered–
and knows her worth
in its embers,
she scoops the
ash and
smudges her
cheeks..
reaching for
release.
drowning in a thought
bubble..
pops and escapes the
dreams that
hid
for years from
retired
kid–
returned as though
he never
left
the pond like
summer
did.
find me on last
page–
turn over new
leaf,
shut book, close
eyes
and question
beliefs
in a story more ready
than the
one
in
your hands,
should you care
to read
on..
with this
man.
were my thoughts
heard..
you’d blush at
the words
chosen to frame
my photo of
you..
always changing,
ever new.
