Live and In Color
Every day the bleeding away
Of the nation we once were,
Compromised and pulverized
Analyzed and televised
in full color for all the world to see.
What happened to human kindness?
What happened to love another?
What happened to common decency?
What happened to the right for all to live free?
People killed for religious beliefs
or the different color of their skin,
Innocent children with fertile minds
shot down in front of their friends.
And as we look on in shock at the horror
unfolding before us every single day,
The hate and violence grows ever stronger
fed by a devious malevolent man
sitting in the highest office of the land
whose rhetoric is the epitome
of stochastic terrorism.

Two Bodies, We
Two bodies, we
You, the hardwood Oak
I, the clinging passion vine
Entwined in the ebony night.
Two bodies, we
You, Mars the god of war
I, Venus the goddess of love
Fiery night sky bleeds with red heat.
Two bodies, we
You, the shaft of flint
I, the shimmering diamond
Black night sparks, catches fire.
Two bodies, we
You, the river flowing to the blue sea
I, tumultuous waves as you spill into me
The night screams with cries of ecstasy.

#Haiku: Yarrow
delicate feather
leaves of the common yarrow
lining starling nests

Author’s Note: Common starlings line their nests with yarrow, because it helps to ward off parasites.

Touch
His voice is smooth; a caramel river of dreams
Melting into her soul, making lonely lips sing,
Filling in the ragged cracks, mending the heart whole.
When his rough hands move, caressing velvet soft skin
Her forgotten body comes alive from his touch again.
