KINDRED SPIRITS

serendipity

a smile of mutual love

drawing them  in

serendipity

in  darkness of rejection

finding light of joy


a smile of mutual love

a glow of  hope seals

each heart to heart


drawing them in

the rapture of kindred souls

a cool windy night

grapes all eaten
aptly aroused sensations 
time for lights out

his lies are truths chocolate covered
she hears only what her heart speaks

dawn birds whistle
alone she sips orange juice
sweet and tangy

A SPLUTTER IN THE DARK

smell of candle wax

spluttering in the darkness

night noises subside

❧✿❧

smell of candle wax

the night wages a blackout

scratch a match to flame


spluttering in the darkness

a light enlivened

dances with a breeze


night noises subside

only for a minute then

the dogs start barking

✿

smell of candle wax

the dancing flame now snuffed out

tinge of burnt fingers


the night wages a blackout

flicker by flicker 

a response of light


scratch a match to flame

let there be shadows to wall

for darkness punctured

✿

spluttering in the darkness

a stumble here there

gets to the fridge door


a light enlivened

sits atop a heavy stand

too secure to shift


dances with a breeze

a rustle of leaves proclaim

the end of a flame

✿

night noises subside

to silhouettes stationed cue

in trees spread silent


only for a minute then

ticking clock sounds on

rhythm meanders


the dogs start barking

scent of crepe jasmines float in

night cradles her time

NEW YEAR  VISIT

my son visits
he's wearing his glasses
i'm wearing mine
❧✿❧
my son visits
i wish him happy new year
a year two weeks old

he's wearing his glasses
he has grown a beard
he likes plain black masks

i'm wearing mine
my glasses that is
i got a new pair
...
my son visits
after the rain this morning
a welcome surprise

i wish him happy new year
just a pat on the back
no hugs

a year two weeks old
 Christmas decor put away
angel on the door
...

he's wearing his glasses
they look new but they're not
they're just clean

he has grown a beard
i spy a few grey ones
in there

he likes plain black masks
not me
i luv all the designs
...

i'm wearing mine
not my mask
my glasses

my glasses that is
my movie watching buddies
wear them i must

i got a new pair
got a spray and cloths as well
to clean them
