31March2015

Dirty Sneakers and Popcorn Balls

Your breath sucks the life from me
Your words a scratched, skipping recording
Your earworm imbedded with no escape
Ginger, CelenaDiana, Nan

Summer

On the heels of spring
seaweed brine at ocean's edge
morning fog burns off as surfers pack up
Ginger, CelenaDiana, Nan

Courage

Put on big wolf pants
Bared teeth, low growl from the chest
Piercing eyes that defy fear within
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

When

Spaghetti noodles twisted and bare
Waiting for alfredo to complete them
Shirmp and oregano sublty accent
Ginger, Nan, CelenaDiana

Don't Go

Hate like bruised apples
Aims at the core merciless
Carve away past crimes
Ginger, Nan, CelenaDiana

Moments In Now

I painted m toenails bright pink
Bazooka bubble gum shade
Two-stepping away from the past
Ginger, Nan, CelenaDiana

Solace

Moon-cratered ceiling
His feet planted in the earth
Roots for stability sky's the limit
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

Shaky

Dodge desperate calls
A liking turned to stalking
Build an impenetrable wall
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

He

His shadow traces on my sheets
His still whisper across my shoulder
Aroma still lingers on the shirt we share
Ginger, CelenaDiana, Nan

At Night Truths Are Laid Bare

Whisper away--dusk
Shadows melding connecting
Barn owl on the rise
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger

Where It Takes Us

Fog lost boat--we drift
life's currents steering the way
Awed sunset gazing
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger

Apologetic

Based on misunder-
Standing principles not shared
The bent rules broke us
Ginger, Nan, CelenaDiana

Acceptance

Eyes on phone it rings
Hoping to hear her voice
Answering machine listens
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

Mammogram

Open paper gown
Ice cold clamps clench soft breast
Quite prayers
Nan, CelenaDiana, Ginger

Low Key

More Director than Rockstar
Coercing in undertones
Silent, coveting the mic
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger

No

Roar of apology on these sanguine lips
Look at me!  My resolve is not resting
Only said it to diffuse
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

My Last Day Without

Frustration burning ashes in my mouth
My soul balled up in a tight knot
Couldn't wait another minute. Lit up
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

For Clarity

Opaque smile offered
Wearing the truth in her voice
Eyes revealing all
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan

She Left

Riot of colors in her wake
She left his clothes on the floor
Resigned as his personal maid
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan


27March2015

Caught

The pin pricked stick stuck
Now just observing, apart
It stuck.  Stick pin pricked
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
