Ekphrastic Love
EKPHRASTIC LOVE
If
a
picture
is worth a
thousand words, then he
shall borrow all that he can to
describe the beauty he sees while gazing upon her.
In turn, he will lend her his eyes so she can see her
-self as the beauty that she is,
to see her full worth.
Their true love
is give
and
give.

KINDLING
Sparks of fire
grow from embers’ glow ~
their midnight
encounters
move from soft nudge to being
hard pressed and breathless.

Love or Hate?
LOVE OR HATE?
…sometimes both.
I do love to write
…when there’s time.
More often
than not, my brain’s overrun
with all the wrong words.

* I didn’t start writing for NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) until two-thirds through April this year. And at that point, hadn’t re-started posting to my blog. SO – I’m catching up with my posting! (Now that I’ve relearned all things WordPress!)
Daisy
In dedication to a man I knew who was about to lose his wife to a terminal illness.
She loved daisies.
DAISY
She loves me.
She loves me not with
-out telling
me daily.
Whatever will I do with
-out my Daisy’s love?
