Come and enjoy – LULL
Leaves play tag in the breeze
as cars chase green lights.
I am the only stillness
in the city this hour.
Living without permission
no need to ask, “Am I allowed?”
The leaves don’t ask to dance
down the cracked sidewalk.
I grant myself this moment
this sunlight soak before
winter darkness.

We may not know how or when
We may often question why
We may feel ousted by fate
Our sense of destiny is at play
But if only we could give
trust a little chance ..
For when the time is right
Every piece of puzzle fits in perfectly.
For puzzles are meant to fit.

“Sometimes, when I dream,
I’m reminded that you do love me.
For better or worse. You love me.”
Sometimes I dream I’m in outer space. Floating along some unseen path. But as my eyes adjust, I can see I’m not lost. There’s a moon. A blue moon, with such beautiful scars. I find myself trying to commit each one to my memory. And just before I wake, I realize that scars only add intrigue. I realize that they each have a story to tell, and when I find that I want to know those stories, I think I can finally fathom a fraction of what you feel for me when you look at me.
And maybe, those dreams are enough to remind me that you do love me. For better or worse. You love me.

I’m the lucky one —
to be in your orbit.
This poem is in continuation of the micro poetry of the same name. ReadBeacon here
A shiny beacon
of hope and desires
were your words
that soothed my soul
and resurrected my fires
those flickering
twinkling
flames
in the deepest
crevice of the night
that lone flickering
that kept me alive
through the deep storms and dark nights.
The pain of those of waiting endlessly
and never returning,
the ghouls of the past
mercilessly killing all my desires
always seems to be catching
while all the world was chiding
and crushing my dreams
into million pieces,
your smile came a
lovely beam,
a beacon to cheer my lonely way.

Often the true reason
Can be found behind a mask
Especially when the “lamb” shows
Its real teeth…

I tasted love’s promise on parched lips
I rejected truth my eyes could not see
and even as betrayal sank cold on my tender skin
I refuted the portrait renegade emotions painted
