I LOVE YOU
we lie together, our bodies barely touching
your rhythmic breathing so comforting
to my soul
l lay my hand barely touching your chest
and feel the beat of your heart
I’m content
Happy
I want to wake you and say
I love you!
THE OLD COUPLE
AN OLD COUPLE WALK THROUGH
THE PARK
I CAN SEE THEM QUITE CLEARLY
THEY WALK SLOWLY, CAREFULLY
THEY HOLD HANDS
HE HELPS HER - SHE HOLDS HIM
DO THEY WALK TO THE END OF THEIR
DAYS
I LOVE YOU (IV)
We run between the raindrops
Hand and hand
Hurrying along our way
The moon peeks it’s
pale, yellow face
from behind
a dark, grey cloud
The wind whispers
through the trees
soft, romantic murmurs
The rain stops
We stop
Long enough to say
I LOVE YOU
A Bright New Beginning
Tonight
The rain is different—
It falls like, shinny beads
Attached one to one by invisible thread
Thousands of tiny beads
Reflecting the light from the
carriage house lamp
and splattering on the pavement
The night rain washes away the sins of
The day
And gives us a bright new beginning
Mexico
Almost 10,000 words well not qiute...this is some of the poetry I wrote when I spent several months in mexico city many years ago. It was possibly the best time of my life. AND I certainly wish I were there now!!
Love Abounds
a father at the bus stop
knees beside his son
one arm caressing his child
the other points to a distant object
the child listens intently
little eyes turn to search the horizon
LOVE ABOUNDS
COBWEBS ON MY MIND
The roar of the ocean
The screeching seagulls overhead
The slight rustle of palm frons in the ever so warm breeze
Waves crashing on the beach
then receding back into the blue-gray ocean
allowing the breeze to blow and the sun to shine
on all the creatures of the earth
COFFEE
"There's nothing like a cup of coffee, on
a rainy day", he said
"Yes," she replied in a dazed manner of
someone shaken from deep thought
"Rainy days are great". He went on
She slowly raised her head and
looked at him, smiled a wistful smile
He understood. Smiled a warm smile back,
and left her to her thoughts
