Three

Some say one plus one is two.
but one full heart plus one half heart is three

when two full hearts meet two full hearts that’s four

one plus one is never two

Poem 02 – The Joy of Unseen Things

Fresh coffee’s aroma
And the sound of it pouring
Sweet singing birds
Sore muscles from laughter
Sunshine on skin
Rain on skin
Skin on skin
Baked pumpkin seeds
Riding a bicycle
Alliteration
The moments between sleep and awake
Slipping into a warm bath
Saunas
Shoe and clothing removal after a long day

Memories of comfort and calm
Warmth embodied
Elation in movement

Unseen Things

the joy of unseen things
in youth
is the possibility
this could be IT, could be
EXACTLY
what you need
that precious thing you’ve
wished for,
hoped for,
prayed, begged, cried for…
it. could. be.

the joy of unseen things
in the years beyond youth
is that they are few,
and far between

POEMS

 

Putting them on paper as we empty

Our souls. They play with our

Emotions while we meditate on what we write. It

Seems to me, therefore, we should always get it right!

Hooked (Hour One, A Tanka Poem)

pulse pounding, face flush

trembling hands dance anxiously

longing for The Rush

bloodshot eyes stare aimlessly

waiting for words to appear

 

(A tanka is a five line poem where the syllable count for each line is as follows: 5/7/5/7/7.)

Cracked Cloth

I reflect in a cracking sac cloth

The mirror is me

Embers hook my feet in the dew at midnight

O’ i feel me in two’s and three’s

 

It’s not me I see by this cloth of darkness

 

The night is a battle field within me

O’ me again and again in pain— wail not

For I pray to Thee: He shall heal the living

 

O’ thee

Let the shadow in me slide freely

“Lucky #14”

“Lucky #14”

I’m sitting in cubby #14

In the third row.

They were already here

Waiting for me.

No time to prepare.

Seconds later, it’s over.

Done.

They congratulate me.

But my worry isn’t gone.

I don’t feel any better.

I though this would feel . . .

Different.

It works, trust us.

Can I?

I don’t understand most of the information.

I’m taking a leap of faith.

I hope this is all worth it.

To Me

Strange how,

the perspective of two people,

engaging in the same conversation

can be worlds apart.

Merging

Image Prompt: Prompt for hour 2

The day,

the Night,

the rising—

setting

suns

Are merging—

now

and then.

I witness the,

synchronicity—

of us.

Are we all not

synchro-nauts,

warped in time?
