A Prayer 

Poem 5

Rebirth: A Sonnet

To be a bud upon your wilting wall

A seed of youth that strains to be expressed

Though roots enfolded seeming at a stall

Emblaze with hornet’s stinging kiss possessed

An ivy branch holds out its reaching arm

Enticing those who need not to be lost

A look around not meant to set alarm

A sheen of dew engorged with silky gloss

Infused by droplets gleaming like the sun

A petal's tip crowns from surrounding womb

Gives rise to murmurs of the little one

Disarming even Satan’s darkened tomb

A bud now blossomed standing ever tall

Withdraws from nature’s often wilting wall

Poem 4

Stolen Moment

Kissed by the sun she lies in near exhaust

Caressed by lover’s arms never leaving

Legs entwined a bond never to be lost

Breath stolen away by looks of thieving

Hair once up has been drawn down to shoulders

Framing a path to worlds filled with secrets

A finger’s touch leaving her more bolder

A pleasure’s charm rendering her sleepless

Honeyed lips the essence of temptation

A blush of pink tickling her soft cheeks

Never to let go of this sensation

Reaching to her mountains most highest peak

Desire trickling down her curved spine

Seduced by a passion shattering time

Poem 3

Midlife Crisis

Bippity Boppity Boo!

Another grey streak sneaking its way into my hair that is as dark as night

It cannot hide

It is like a shooting star through a black sky

But this time it is the opposite of a dream come true

Even more

My fair skin is showing creases
Like the tangle of sheets and blankets on my unmade bed

What is becoming of me?

True I have let myself go

A few pounds here and there

Fine

I look like a pumpkin

Actually

Make that three

Now won’t this be a funny sight

Me

Making my grand entrance

In a cloud of glitter and flash!

Ha!

Bippity boppity boo

What a fright I will be!

I hope my knee doesn’t go out…

Poem 2

Peace

The cool water runs through my toes as I stare out into the abyss

A shiver runs down my spine

The moon casts its eerie glow

Like a wary toddler I inch back

The water beckons to me

Waving me forward – I listen

My eyes follow the flow of the current

Bringing me deeper and deeper

Up to my neck in the clear blue

Salt stings my nose

A rush in the wind like a fleeing doe

I am engulfed by the sparkling blue

Silence

The steady beat of my heart thumps

This seems familiar

Being rocked back and forth

Breathing as one

I lift my eyes

A steady ripple appears

Surrounding my head with rings upon rings

Overcome by a release

Only waves can do

Poem 1

Lullaby 

Lu lu lu lu, Hushaby

Think of the angels way up high

Lu lu lu lu, don’t you cry

Daddy won't go away

As beads of sweat roll down my face

I listen closely to the closed white door

With my ear pressed ever so slightly to the bottom where the light seems to escape

Dark surrounds me

“I don't know what to do with her,” I hear her whisper

The smell of detergent wafts through my nose

My feet are shivering on the cold stoned floor

I hear a swirl

My heart jumps a little

The door opens

Light pours over me

I am stuck in place

Glued to the floor

“Hi baby,

Come here” he says

“She'll be ok”

He scoops me up

Holding me tight to his chest as if I would run away

“Will she?” I ask in a whisper

He looks at me with the sun’s warmth in his eyes

Swaying side to side as if entranced in a spell

Lu lu lu lu Hushaby

Think of the angels way up high
