Someone asked
for a poem
about flowers
in your hair

Two weeks ago I would write it about daisies
peonies
and sunflowers that seem to match your style

A week ago I would write about the thorns from roses
the way it decomposes
when you leave them sit for a long while

Today I stare at the dried flowers on my wall
wishing you'd call
making a flower crown from dried flowers that made me smile

she smiled
but it didn't reach her eyes
the weight of gold
and everything else inside

Whenever she opens her eyes, she writes poetry,
And with every breath, she pens dreams effortlessly.

Whenever she talks, the universe leans in to hear,
Whenever she thinks, she paints skies crystal clear.

Whenever she's near, my soul finds its beat,
Yet somehow, we're strangers, destined never to meet.

For the young,
the gut-wrenching ache
of love lost
Remembers.

The old witches know:
it forgets,
for memory is the reward—
a gift for having known
a twin in this world
(even if only for a short time).

The corners of my mouth turn upward
into  a smile, a grin.
Oh you make me so happy.

When I think of you
I feel it in my heart
It’s a twinge, a little
twist of my insides I

just feel it I feel you
every time I
think of you I feel you
next to me your breath your warmth your smile your touch
all of it.
You look at me after all these years you
look at me and everything
just melts away and all I feel
Is
your
never-ending love.
Thank you for listening, Poetry Friends. I’m
Lucky to have a true love. My lovely husband of 24 years.

In front of a cup of coffee...

When ...
Whenever I called her ...
In my imagination ...
She answered the call ...
At the same moment...
She embraced me with her hands...
And ...
She embraced me with her eyes...
And ...
She surprised me with a kiss...
And , a deep warm hug ...
So ...
each of us sipped from the other's features....
To forgot about the coffee...

The coffee got ...
grew cold and sad...
That it had become alone...
Without our lips ...
To share ...

My hand your shoulder
Your hand in mine
Green eyes lock blue
I push you move we step
A scratch a falter
We giggle and sigh

my voice is a burden
you don’t need
my words a worry
you don’t need
my serious about serious
you don’t need
my noisiness about noise
you don’t need
my simpleness about simple
you don’t need
my pureness about pure
you don’t need
my world upon yours
you really  really
don’t need
my version of love
you honestly don't need.

My love is not dependent on return
My love never needed to be learned
Nuances have been molded
sculpted, and refined
But the love,My Love
The very core of it
Is blind.
