Poem: Chime

The chime above the door sings

as you come gliding through,

bringing along the velvet breeze

of the autumn winds outside.

Your hands cradle your cheeks

as your arms rest on the counter,

and your coffee breath wafts

to me like a whispered secret.

The chime above the door sings

as you float away through it,

my heartbeat carried on the wind

to you like a whispered secret.

Poem: Solo

She danced around the room,

looking people in the eyes

as she twirled past them,

never meeting the same gaze

twice. In the flashing lights,

spinning late into the night,

she was untouchable,

her tears dripping like sweat,

catching light like diamonds,

slipping, unseen, to the ground

as she kept gliding forward,

spinning late into the night.

Poem: Photo Album

Flipping through a photo album,

I watch myself flying through ages

As I flick through its glossy pages.

Sometimes your face passes me by,

Only to stay behind as a buried memory

On that wobbly paper, beside an old me.

This new me turns away from the glint

As lamp light catches your photographed eye.

My hand closes the book, as if to say goodbye.

Poem: Sugar Sweet

Sugar sweet, my love,

You were meant to be the one

To set my fears asunder

And fill my heart with wonder.

Poem – For Autumn

Spooky trees have lost their leaves,

And the breeze tousles my hair.

The smell of pumpkins drifts about

And sweetens the autumn air.

We gather with our mugs in hand

And sip warm tea on the stairs.

Your neighbor’s kitten watches us

From a nearby front porch chair.

Someone lights a cinnamon candle,

And we cannot smell from where.

Spooky trees have lost their leaves,

And we walk on autumn air.
