To the one that held my heart and tore it apart
To the person who caught the shards and mended the parts
The above happened and the below occured.

Faith is a substance we hope for evidence of thing's we cannot see.

Popsicle toes. Inspired by Michael Franks song.

Oh broken wings
How far we have fallen
with that toxic dart
Cupid smite
us a mighty blow
placing my heart on snow
she smiled for a while
floating on air
naked and bare, barely there
oh broken heart
how far have we fallen
Ginger and Fred,
Freddie a stare
Cupid's dare,
feathered a crow
Icarus moaned
broken arrow
popsicle toes.

Cupid Ginger Fred Freddie Icarus
Enjoy 😊

Legal Tender

even I am puzzled that this phrase
did not prior
tickle my contronymic
poetic senses till now, for what is tender is of not always legal,
and what is legal is far far from
always tender
<>
tender/tenderness

gotta rank in my 10 top fav
words,
nothing transforms
swifter than an
unexpected kiss,
a hug from behind,
the light stroke of a forefinger,
brushing a tear from cheek,
an errant bang, a lock from vision interference,
All Super Legal
gracefully given,
gratefully given,
Wholly Unexpected,
and
great~fully
Accepted

<>
thinking that this maybe one of my
top 11 fav poems

mmmmmmmmmmm
that's the sound
of me purring...

More Than Just A Face

I saw her face — they said that’s all it took,
But they don’t know the pages I long to read in her book.
It wasn’t love, not yet, not blind —
Just a spark, a pull, a curious kind.
I don't know her laugh, her fears, her fate,
But I wish to learn — before it’s too late.
Let destiny write the rest... or seal my wait.

Opinions (Tanka)

Some use loud voices.
With opinions and the like.
I don't like that much.
Opinions should be subtle.
Little softer to the touch.

Bloodyblades.

Cuts deeper than a shave
dab it with lotion
stop the bleeding
find your heaven
a higher ceiling.

Cuts deeper than flesh
marrow under bone.
Without you
my heart has no refuge
totally alone

Cuts deeper than grave
disastrous emotions
when love goes down
a living hell
closer than a shave.
