RatherNot

Sometimes after a long

Day your voice envelopes

Me like a hot

Bath or warm blanket

Or a flickering candle

Making the wars of

Life disappear I run

To it drag myself

To it accept it

As my reward for

Doing all the things

I’d rather not do

ShortSweet

I keep getting distracted

By people or love

I will keep this

Short writing more tomorrow

When one or both

Will blossom or wither

LazyMaySunday

Today has been quiet

A lazy spring day

Filled with sunny windowsills

Comfy pillows on sofas

And cloud bursts that

Left sheets of rain

Sliding down patio doors

And of course us

Watching everything yawning

And turning and forgetting

Those outside things paying

Attention only to this

Lazy Sunday in May

Eclectic

A hodgepodge of things

Thrown together oftentimes haphazardly

But frequently perfectly matched

Like a hearty stew

Or a room full

Of disparate pieces all

Complimenting the other in

Delicate ways the old

And the new blending

Together like loves watercolors

Creating something uniquely stunning

Order rising from chaos

InvisibleDrum

And with each season

Comes it’s own surprises

Awake aware abandon acquiesce

Bud blossom befall bedtime

Curious crave collapse close

Dawn desire descend die

On through the alphabet

No matter the season

Whether it be love

Or life or time

The seasons always march

To an invisible drum

Heard by no one

Yet felt by all
