Seasons
Winter brings cold
Demands respect
Its word is bold
Best to protect
Fall offers thrills
Tree colors change
Nights bring sharp chills
Gusts spin windvanes
Spring brings new birth
And sparks new dreams
Birds sing their worth
Bright sunshine beams
Summer brings heat
Strong storms and rain
Vacations...

A sundrenched spell
the sun's caress glitters off your sultry skin
while a balmy breeze caught in your hair gives way
deep in your eyes is where i want to drown
basking in the taste of summertime sorbet

undissolved
amid my heart
wanders eternal
as does my avidity
its difficult to accept
“to move on to forget”
six feet yet unreachable
how will this feeling melt
my everything lost tomorrow
‘we’ wander, separate, absent
as I hang by the blistering icicle
I want...

Fire's Embrace, Ice's Kiss
A shimmer rises, unseen, from asphalt's black skin,
a phantom limb of summer, reaching.
It warps the world, a funhouse mirror,
where distant cars waver, mirages in the making.
Heat, a heavy blanket, smothering breath,
a slow, relentless burn that...

floweresqueAt 13, I used old tissue paper
to craft my best friend her wedding veil—
a drapery, thrown together in a flurry,
taping together parchment scraps, fragile and pale.
I ripped my old notes to craft her a crown,

Same scenery different views2025.3.24
Sixty five days ago, on a sunny Saturday,
I came here with some body.
It was supposed to be our first time,
But it turned out to be the last too.
Time flies fast as it passed you.

Mulberry trees and butterflies
summer sings
forever in my heart
perfume and love in the air
evergreen memories of
mulberry trees and butterflies
unwritten poetry lines
floating on dreams
whisked ever so gently
by a subtle breeze of you
coming back to me

Leo Memories
it was summer and
mother had been busy
in the kitchen all day
making a fancy dinner
and custom birthday cake
year after year
it never got old
but I soon would
anticipation giving way
to fond memories

Persephone Creates the SeasonsYet, I do know a little of the law:
For all its forms but fortify from flaw.
To that which renders beauty must it serve,
Nor from this purpose, may it ever swerve.
From solemn silence, symphonies upswell,
And half...

Nor winters wild, nor summers only see.
And, therefore, shall the gods again as one,
Rebuild what ruin this time of war hath done.
