Rantings Of A Third Kind

twosome

Two, One

It started with a few
Then there were two
Only remaining
A single one
Nothing to be done
The time for Winter
Has finally come

Moonlight

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 5 Comments

Come and enjoy the haunting lullabies of each sultry flicker.

Heart Breathings

she was both chaos and calm,
a mellow, platinum-burning flame,
all possibility,
and I was lost in the haunting
lullaby of each sultry flicker

she was larger than life;
she wore her soul on the outside,
a silvery wraith glimmering in the lonely night,
and I was the sea,
drawn to her in heaving swells and sighs

she was all mine, I thought,
but try as I might to hold onto her,
she was pure effulgence,
and I became the shadowed parenthesis

she wasn’t earthly;
she was made of moonlight –

and she was meant to be set free

Creaky and Cranky

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 2 Comments

Come learn why getting old is not for Sissys!!

Her Writing Haven

catInundated with
Creaky hinges
Afflicted by
Annoying twinges

Growing older
Infested with gray
Almost too tired
To kiss or play

Slowly becoming
Crippled and cranky
Undesirable
No longer swanky

Hard lines
Worn creases
Coming apart
In shreds and pieces

Losing thoughts
Oh what to do
Finding it difficult
To even chew

Getting older
Is so unrightful
Never do it
It is frightful!
