last figs of summer
black striped bursting with sugar
save thoughts for winter
Poetry?
Once upon a flame
Once upon a flame
Blood-hot glances lingered slow
Until the fire died
A day at the sea, looking out towards Albania
sea horizon breaks
rose sun above snowed mountains
warms powder white sand
midday sun scorching
a monotony of waves
in shade sleep and dream
last swim draws shivers
last light falls behind the pines
love slowly sinking
Black figs
black figs have fallen
dusty air smells of fennel
sweet late summer thoughts
Fingertips
fingertips; your lips
slowly waking to moonlight
my lips; fingertips
Early dark
early dark evening
lowering sky autumn chill
summer is over
Don’t like poetry?
Don’t like poetry?
Why don’t you take a haiku?
It’s easy enough.
Stone
If your love for me were a stone, what size would it be?
It would dam any river till the water broke banks, hold our house solid forever.
Blue sea frothing
Blue sea frothing white
Silver flashes in cold air
Barracuda teeth
Poetry
People shouting roses
Fists in anger, hearts in love
Calling for the change to come
