Frozen flavors
on a stick,
delicious and
so very sweet

Orange, cherry
watermelon,
take your pick
it can’t be beat

Something cold
and so refreshing,
on your lips
to quell the heat

Then we’ll share
popsicle kisses,
my all time favorite
summer treat

.

There behind the thicket
where the beasties come to play
Lurking in the underbrush
and thorny mass decay

Drooling on the pathway
when the blood begins to seep
Eating pieces of your heart,
the fears they long to reap

Carving out a warning
in the dark archaic stone
Arches built of victims,
weathered vestibules of bone

Gathered neath the shadows
falling bleak the universe
Twisted, barely visible
the message fills the curse

Dare not seek what leads the eyes,
upon this sanctuary tread
None shall live to hear the cries,
echoes fall among the dead
Follow forth illumined way
truth to be your wandered path
Lead with kindness on display
or face the wicked aftermath

There behind the thicket
where the beasties come to play
It’s best this evening to beware
and look the other way

Fade to night
in starlight drippings
The full moon sings
enchanted song
When turquoise tints
horizon’s dreaming
Can sunrise wait
for very long

In hues of gold
and amber teasings
On Jasmine breeze
your fragrance flies
My heartbeat swirls
at last believing
I breathe a sigh
to morning skies

We wrote poems together
a poetic team
Phrases of feelings
and pieces of dreams

Kite strings, umbrellas,
and blue summer skies
Wishes and kisses,
desire filled sighs

Gazing at moonlight
and coffee at dawn
So much affection
and then you were gone

Then came the clouds
with a chill in the air
Words disappeared
with the poems we shared

Now I'm alone
only darkness remains
Stanzas are empty,
the lines filled with pain

The love that we penned
something I did adore
We wrote poems together
but not anymore

I want to say I love you
in a smooth poetic verse
But to tell you just how much
I fear would make it worse

Listing every reason
I would need a million lines
And everybody knows that none
will read that many rhymes

If I sat and wrote down all
you do that makes me smile
People would get bored with
reading this work after while

If I penned each feeling
in the stanzas of this piece
Most would hit the halfway point
and reading it would cease

I want to mention every thing
but please don’t get me wrong
No one on this site likes reading
poems that are long

So please excuse this poem
with it’s verses that are few
I only really wrote it
just to say that I love you
