Forget Me Not

Red, not blue,
was her favorite
color; and
petunias,
to attract more hummingbirds.
I will not forget.

Company
and conversation,
comforting
companions
to the late night rubies shared
in candlelight’s glow.

PALETTE-ABLE LIFE

When
he feels
his world has
faded to black,
he reaches for his
palette and putting brush
in motion–warmth of yellow,
coolness of blue, passion of red,
green growth, and sacred purple–his world
comes back to life, one color at a time.

CHIHULY Q’S

Curly twists
of red and yellow,
intertwined
with orange,
match the smiles on the faces
of those looking on.

DRIVEN BY LUST
(a shadorma)

He wanted
more than he asked for,
he took more
than she gave.
Driven by lust, he changed her
future forever.
