Days in the life of a poet

When life gets too complicated and our hearts and minds seek out what is good and provides us sustenance...poetry is the breath of life. Words allow us to communicate...to express that within us that is most precious and real. We crave that which is familiar and gives us comfort...read and receive*

If dreams came true:
I would like to be...


The breeze that lifts your locks
from (slightly) over-heated shoulders,
on a warm summer afternoon.


I wish I were the rainbow that,
leads you to a treasured scene
filled with passionate, blissful things...
or a siren reaching for you with
my hypnotic, irresistable, soulful tune.


I can picture us; as we
take walks in the twilight hours
along the bank of a (chilled night) still river...
I'll hold tighter when you shiver
as we bask in the aura of the moon.


If I could be that, ray of sun
that awakens you gently, every dawn;
or the breath you sip, before you yawn.
We'll gaze out our window as flowers bloom,
while robins (perched high) begin to croon.


I'll promise to marry you;
dreaming of June*
