Feeling Blue

Feeling you, the ghost of you. Who are you?
where are we? Can you show me? Tell me!
feeling dumb, numb and out of plumb.
life is askew, nothing new, feeling you.

L'Shana Tova

Happy new year. L'shana tova sounds so much smoother. nothing rough around the edges.
It almost sings out a new year. Redemption closing in on its heels. Cast away your sins and begin. Again. Dip apples in sweet, sweet honey. Everyday day Blue skies, quiet, sunny. Reflective walks in the woods. leaves fallen where we stood.
Refuge and home, never alone, time to call our own.
L'Shana Tova my love, L'shana Tova my Angel.

One thousand kisses

Whispering winds call my name
bringing me home nothings the same
Time has carved your name in my heart
glancing stares, a touch of hair, the start
One thousand Starlit Kisses
Under a million to one odds
Our Love born of the skies
Other worldly as is by Gods

Twenty five....

Years pass by, a butterfly on the wing.
Oh how you made my heart sing.
You were the real thing.
Twenty five years gone by.
You taught me to fly
Never asked why
Spirit always high
Twenty five years today
Nothing left to say.

Summer Fades.......

Into brilliant color, soft light, short days.....linger longer
Lovers entangled, webs weaved, deceived,
feeling the hunger, just a number.
September slumber.

Summer Fades.......

All the things

A slow sun going down

coloured clouds
A pale moon rising
Autumn ending
Winter beginning
Looking within
Living without....you
A year has passed
Black and Blue
All the things
I thought I knew

Wake up.................
