Poetry Friday: Double Hearts

Double Hearts

One heart willingly
set inside another for
a life together.

I've been in Hawaii celebrating my 25th anniversary with my hubbie! More posts soon.

* set it inside a heart-shaped space
* while listening in and dancing to another happy couple's wedding reception music
* as Dave and I watched our first sunset on the the Big Island.

Sweet love.

Poetry Friday: Glacier

leaves rumbling round rocks,
in a wide, smooth bed,
to trickle into a green river
and cool my toes.

Poetry Friday: Kato's Question

How can you doubt me,
inquiring with a tilt, and
brown, soft innocence?

Poetry Friday: All You Get

All You Get

A glance back at the
one who missed my love for life,

Poetry Friday: Poised

Poised between the arched
claw of the future and the
shadow of the past.
