Worn
Used
Waste
Someone’s leftovers
Cover your skilled eyes
Nothing worth keeping
Forget
Remove
Discard
Scraps of purpose
Weathered goods
Continuing pointless
Plain
Old
Junk
Redhead lost in corn
Been gone too long, this is home
Leaves feather her face
This poem written with my baby sister, Leah. Driving down back roads today enjoying each other’s company. She thinks I’m on WordPress too much, so in order to feel included she insisted on writing a Haiku with me. I think the poem turned out well. The picture was all her doing. She thinks she’s funny! Maybe she is…of course she is. She gets her humor from me. Making memories, my friends. Hugs!!
Love winks when you’d rather ignore
Love consumes when you’d rather starve
Love explains when you’d rather stay silent
Love excuses when you’d rather blame
Love is consistent when you’d rather defer
Love proves when you’d rather theorize
Love believes when you’d rather crumble
Love conquers when you’d rather retreat
Love can be amazing, understand me, please
I rode with my brother in law for a bit while the weather was cooperating the other day. I trust him with my life, so while riding his motorcycle I took a few pictures of our time together. Everyone say HI to my BIL, Double D. He’s been keeping my baby sister happy for years.
DD’s a man’s man, a diesel mechanic, and a farm boy originally from Colorado. The bonus is that this gem of a man is brilliant and plays the piano, as well. Nothing hotter than a Renaissance Man. My Sis can pick’em. Thanks for the ride, Double D. Love ya!
Open road
Ya wanna go
We’ll travel slow
Enjoy today’s breeze
Command the bike easily
Yellow all around me and you
Chance meetings upon going faster
Random photography creates laughter
Our distance disguised as intriguing
Whispers to me of fate’s cruelties
What will come of this meeting
Overwhelmed with curiosity
Wherever you are tonight
I wish to be there, too
Lost in exquisite surroundings
Stopping to admire this powerful view
An alluring disaster such as this
Can easily be related to, understood
Fate’s sensual act unfolding before me
Rain tending to the sun beautifully
Through soft, yet dark, cloud pillows
Curtains of rain will wash the sun
Sun submitting to the rain’s shower
A risk, plentiful if carefully tended to
This moment locked sublimely away
Will include wishing thoughts of you
Quietly, I approach the black night
Looking for a glimpse of elusive you
Never far away, yet always out of sight
I crave your flighty essence, my dear
Leaning into who I believe you are
I wait patiently for you to arrive
Shadows lurking beneath the water
I sense that you are incredibly near
Elusiveness keeps your heart beating
Day dwellers will never be your type
However, I’ve seen you rise for me
Your calmness soothes irrational fears
Some would push to cage your spirit
Others have threatened your home
I’m merely looking for a way inside
The mind I can’t seem to leave alone
Eerily the stalwart wind begins to blow
I’m reminded, night comes before light
Quickly you change your path’s course
I’m left to marvel over once in a lifetime
Come with me, Darling
Abandon reality for me, please
I’ve something to show you
Bite your lip, no questions allowed
Remember, Baby, it’s me
We both know you love it here
Happy you’re following and I asked
Watch my long legs tiptoe along
Nature’s pathway of wild grass
A secret hideaway found beyond
You’ll know what to do
Take over and lead
I trust you
