Fading Hope

Special thanks to my collaborator, Anthony

It’s absurdity
With both left to believe
Just fake rhetoric.
The truth begins to grieve now.
In shadows, hope starts to fade.

Awakening Veil


Grey-white misty veil
Touching all in moist contact
A morning dew’s kiss.
Sunbeams filter through the haze,
Awakening to greet day.

Embracing the Present


Choice of happiness
Will ensure no conditions
For the achievement.
Let joy arise in each day.
Embrace the light within you.

The Silent Hunter


Hippopotamus
Lurking below the water
Waiting for something
Wading slowly through the stream.
He suddenly saw his prey.

Seeking peace within,
A gentle touch, soothing balm,
Comfort found in love.
Comfort at being myself
Comfort without any fear…

Drawn in by the pull,
Towards a force felt within,
Gravitate and meet.
Attraction is beautiful
From your head down to your feet…

Seismic Scariness

Unexpected jolt,
Abrupt change in direction,
Caught off guard, quick turn.
Everything falls around you
Find a safe place to shelter…

Cuddle to Infinity

Arms wrapped around tight,
Comfort found in close embrace,
Love shared in cuddles.
Time almost seems to slow down
As all troubles melt away…

Collab with Carol Anne

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Carol Anne http://therapybits.com/

I was honored to be be able to collaborate with Carol Anne.

Snowflakes softly fall, 
Whispers of joy fill the air, 
Hearts warm by the fire.

Fires crackle and glow,
Laughter dances in the night,
Winter’s calm embrace.

Colours Blend

Colors blend and meld,
Light and warmth suffuse the air,
In harmony found.
Primary colours do mesh
to form much more complex ones…

Learning poem forms
It’s a challenge and it’s fun
Here I go again
These rules have me on the run
Count eight syllables or ten???

Writing is such fun
