And then,
As the moon glowed in the distance,
casting my shadow against the nearest wall
and the rain continued to pitter patter against my roof,
creating soft, iridescent music to my ears,
and the street light began to flicker,
placing a darkened shadow against my sullen face,
I began to realize
that our existence,
all high and mighty that it is,
isn't so bright and fabulous after all.
And that we are all just a tiny blip
in the existence of time.
It’s the color of the sun
The one with rays that beat down
And warms your skin on a bright
Summer day.

It’s the daisy garden,
The one just outside your front door;
It’s scent, so fresh and sweet
Fills your nostrils with the smell of summer.

And the sweet, sharp wheat
The ones that make you sneeze
And yet you can’t help
But drag your fingers lightly against their flesh
And take in their musty scent.

Or the shutters of your neighbor’s cottage,
The ones with the soft pastel that stands out among
The white siding
And the pale door

It’s the bow in your daughter’s hair,
The one that she fought
But you insisted,
Because it’s beautiful
The way she looks in that hue.

And it’s the color of your happiness,
The one that shows through the bright smile
That stretches across your face
And bleeds golden joy.
I love the idea of describing color without specifically telling the color within the poem until the end. Refer to "Red" for the first installment of this series.
What does one do in vacant hours
When night descends its sable tapestry
And the past knocks on this window?

In this ice cold jungle,
I followed a cat
Across metal tree trunks and
carpets of grass

A fluorescent sun
hung amongst ceilings of sky
To wonder at THIS

is to wonder at
WHY?

Unheard and unseen, enveloped

(solitary)

You’d think that a JUNGLE
would not be so

scary?

Lips smile, hearts sing,
Early in the morning.
Black coffee for two
In the afternoon.

Hours passing by,
Your hand still holding mine,
Thus, I have no fear,
During the dinner feast.

Waves are calming on the sea,
While we're having the high tea.
We lay here, the beginning now so far,
Above us the moon and the stars.

Good moments, better moments,
The best and the worst
Seem as seconds lived long ago
In the only life that we know.

moss
you let your eyes look right through me
my body made of translucent plastic
what would it take for you to see
that I am not completely elastic

stretch me long enough and I'll snap
bend me far enough and I will break
shred me and I'll remain in scraps
fragment me and I'll fall into flakes
