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 …

Bedtime

The moon shone bright while the midnight birds flew across its reflection The white and yellow daises went to sleep for the night with perfection. Mellow green butterflies hurry on home to an oak tree branch Auburn furry rabbits briskly leap near their dwelling on Harbor’s Ranch. A sandy Labrador pup and its mother cuddle …

(Tell Me) Are You Really Free?

Gather all your thoughts Love can’t be bought Bow on one knee Look up and tell me Are you really free?   Clear your cluttered head Try hard to think ahead Keep still and silent for awhile Although it’s not really your style Seriously tell me Are you really free?   Tangled in endless deceit …
