TWICE BLUSHING FLOWER, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, MARCH 28, 2023
twice blushing flower first blush at touch of his words... second her own thoughts
-----
time to taste your love
soft love spilled on you from me...
becomes part of us
-----
alone in darkness
i play scenes over again...
we have not yet lived
-----
reaches out for her
when the storm breaks over him...
her love's safe haven
-----
a specific heart
not one simple type to find...
laying on love's shore
-----
with the rise of dawn
life and i awaken to...
daylight dreams of you
-----
feels she's not worthy
not aware that he treasures her...
just the way she is
-----
he whispers nothings
sets them free on summer breeze...
in hopes she will hear
----
a lifelong battle
carried so many secrets...
burdens of others
-----
not bound to earth
nightly we visit the moon...
to be together
-----
riding wild currents
as we swim in love's river...
caught in its rapids
-----
shame on her some say
she doesn't feel she does wrong...
her lover agrees
-----
i once rode the storms
playfully defied wild winds...
now but memories
-----
light begins to dim
old dark memories return...
with sad loneliness
-----
