winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Morning
april’s robin song-
the morning moon rolls over
and kisses the sun
–
cat at my feet-
your back warm
against my chest
Fire
in the line of fire
standing while the others fall
I am bulletproof
–
rising smoke-
the doe startled
bounds away
Flowers
lace curtains drawn back-
shadows of tiger lilies
adorning my walls
–
breakfast for one-
fresh cut blooms
on the table
Shore
a cool ocean breeze
comes onshore and brings the taste
of salt to my lips
–
low tide-
footprints of gulls
in the wet sand
Stars
pinpoints of starlight
fall from the firmament and
streak across the sky
–
midnight-
lines of fire
split the sky
Heat
my head in your hands
your eyes locked on mine pushing
hard against my lips
–
ripe cherries-
the sweet taste
of your seduction
Parched
staring down into
another empty bottle
devoid of answers
–
august sun-
tumbleweeds across
a dry creek
Addiction
a candle and spoon-
the bare bulb above her head
casts a harsh shadow
–
on the corner-
slowing headlights
catch the rain
