This morning’s palest breath
Reminds me, dutifully
I was built to stand alone
Strength binding me with control
My own worst enemy

What I Should Have Said
What I should have said,
Are the words swirling inside my head.
Creeping about my mind,
Wishing for a way, one I could find,
For expressing the deepest parts of me.
Knowing I could trust, and you believe.
Indigenous Surroundings (Tanka)
Quiet reflection
Indigenous surroundings
Contemplating life
Beneath a monochrome sky
Possibility of us

(For those who want to understand this poetic form: Tanka Form Info )
Stale View
Foggy dawning
The air sufficates
Smells proving perverse
Expressions don’t radiate
Not in the same way
Ceasing reagency
Leaving me empty
With no veracious desire
For your troubled voice
A Morning With Audrey
Good morning, Flat Tire. You have no idea how much I dislike seeing you on a Monday. Tires like you have a way of stopping by at the most inopportune time, however, I thank you for leaving me a little of your air.

Beloved
Secure in your absence
Waves of buoyancy soothe
Pillow clouds form your name
Of little comfort now, Inamorato
Forced to let my feelings show
Tonight, I stumble and admit
What I’d give for your kiss
Melancholy Twilight
Melancholy twilight,
Convinces me to sing,
Of aquamarine skies,
With hues of tangerine.
Leaving me to whisper,
With no idea what to say,
Meet me in my dreams,
Help me forget about today…
Powder Puff Blue
As my morning shifts into view
I breathe in nature’s cue
Submitting to what my mind pursues
All wrapped up in a foggy dew
Of powder puff blue
With you
Love Allows
crimson velvet petals
birthed from a thorny vein
only one request they’re fulfilling
for love, who’s done with emotional pain
my heart is deep enough to hold you
each piece of you, misunderstood
don’t fear what you don’t know
agree to become what never could
Irrational Thinking
Hopeful, above a myriad of emotions,
My devotion towards chasing clouds,
Somehow brings me closer,
To understanding you.
While I wait, with a quiet mind,
Will you explain all the how’s and why’s
Of a universe, in my mind’s eye, gone wild?
Calm the irrational part of my brain,
Then show me that your love,
Isn’t just part of my denial.
Your Embrace
Golden feathers sway quietly,
Entranced by Autumn’s breeze.
Every poetic thought, all for nothing,
If the essence of your embrace leaves me.
Aurora
Pursuing over aurora’s peaks
Ministering to where you’ve been
Defines the pleasure of her dreams
Melody Of Pebbles
Melody of pebbles
Survivors of a rain bath
Glistening variety of colors
Stop me along my walking path
Pausing, I lean down to consider
They all look like you, and I want them
Step One
Fantasy portal
Opportunity chuckles
Trim the hedges first
Just Like That
And then she sighs to herself
Yes, it is just like that…
Guessing, however, she’s quite sure
The beat of her heart is heard
All I Ever Needed
It wasn’t your inability to understand,
Would have never bothered me.
It wasn’t your lack of sincere interest,
I believe there’s a Ying to my Yang.
What I couldn’t take above the rest,
Was the complete lack of disrespect.
All I ever needed or wanted from you,
Was to feel like I was alive…
Calm Twilight
Poetic thoughts shatter,
Like glass across a sky of azure.
You arrive on bits of final sunshine,
My mysterious muse.
You capture my presence tonight,
And I feel you inside my wistful soul,
As you voluntarily watch me,
Waiting in the calm twilight.

The final line written by, my girl, Morgan. It is no secret that I adore her poetry, so last week when she wrote the line “waiting in the calm twilight” I mentioned being envious, and then there was some banter and a challenge. I’m following through with using her perfect line in my poem tonight, but mine will pale in comparison once you’ve read her Friday Fantasy poem from last week. You’ll see… ♡ Thanks for letting me borrow your words, Morgan.
Whisper Into My Ear
My
Darling,
A magical
Offering of
Attentiveness
My delectation
Even for a fantasy
September’s ending
Or is it just beginning
Wrapped here with you
Trusting in your feathers
Chest against soft breasts
Leaning for conversation
Whispering into my ears
About peace and worry
Relating, so perfectly
Our reactions blush
Soft fleshy quiver
Your smile sighs
Lips closer still
Landing upon
Fairest skin
Delicately
Kissing
A red
Ear
Incessant Desire
I don’t need a happy ending
A knight in shining armor
Isn’t what I seek
I live in daily humor
I don’t need you to rescue me
What I crave incessantly
I mean, what I’m asking,
Quite honestly,
Is for you to force me to feel
Submit to my sensitivity
With vigor found inside you
Write until your heart bleeds
Then, fall into me
