Listen to the Wind

Listening to the wind Howling inside the frosted ears Hiding from the truth Shutting off the whispers in the air A chilly night for a walk No matter the weather Stroll by the red-brick house Look inside the dim lit room Discover the thoughts are real Turn away and run Blame the moonlit sky Shout …

Coquetry Pair

A honey smile followed by a natural wink Hazel eyes twinkle with a slight kick A blue moon twilight along a meteorite storm Lights an evening sky in all its form Playful teases, giggles and caresses  Engulfed in a moment sunrise-to-sunset Murmur a phrase or two in a duet Cheerful grin displaced by a yawn …

Self-Doubt

Home For Autumn

Pumpkin spice scent drifting through corridors Frost is felt within morning brisk breeze Yellow and auburn leaves twirl over red tile floor A puff of burning amber fills air without seize.
