“On apricot rose petal skies, I see the smile in your eyes”
~
It is still dark as I walk
down blurred pathways
of sleepless nights
and moonlit worries
awaiting dawn’s apricot
rose petal light
to peek over the
distant horizon
illuminating my smile
~
For then I will know
you are seeing
azure heavens glowing
on far away skies,
sipping your first cup,
waving goodbye
to yesterday’s problems
and whispering to me
“Good morning”
~
*As another beautiful day begins...
Good morning Beautiful

As the earth shaped him,
He in turn gave shape to earth
Bringing soil to life

Face turned up
Towards her light
In an idolatrous way.
Hot streaks of colour
Behind eyes closed
In silent appreciation.
Silky rays caressing
Naked skin
Like a long lost lover.
The scent of coconut oil
Tickles the nostrils.
Sunbathing
Is today's religion of choice

Evolved from apes?
We hide our treacherous deeds behind smiling faces.
Our leaders offer up promises worth
Their weight in air.
Our children are a future we're slowly but surely destroying.
We didn't evolve.
The apes just realized the jungle is safer

Winter leaves
Settle uneasily on cold sidewalks
Stirred into frenzy
By the sweeping feet
And wind that seldom taunts
With the promise of spring
Remember spring?
It sounded like golden bells,
And smelled like honey.

Standing in light
Cast by day
Tiptoe through shadows
Which connect anyway.
The sun is so bright
It corrodes away;
And I'm healed by night,
Cool layers of gray
Also not a vampire. Not sure if writing while tired makes my poems loopy... Will have to check in the morning
