My feline friend
says I love you
either with
a meow
a kiss
wanting a boop
grooming me too
walking together
like sidekicks
or gets into a
perfect purring position
on my chest
drifting off
to peaceful rest.
Companion
21st century scams
Social media lies
of manicured lives
watching
everyone’s highlight reel
versus
what’s real
Dawn’s serenity
Waking up
in love’s embrace
smiling at his
sleeping silhouette
joy circulating
through my body
Cleansing
The ocean
called to her
to heal the
impurities and
insecurities
washing them
away
like foam
on the shore
Swallow
Holding
back
words
feels like
having birds
in a locked
cage
in your
chest.
Analogy
Love is like
a magic trick
best experienced
without
questioning
the how.
Inception
Poems
are puzzles
of interlocking
pieces of
Imagery
Sound
and sentiment
Remedy
Looking for an antidote
for being jaded
To discern wisdom
from cynicism
seeking
healing
light
to wield
together
the broken pieces.
Friends
If their words
spark life
breathe air
to your soul’s Fire
keep them
Facing fears
Negotiating with
the unknown
listening to
silent answers
following faith
to a new
familiar.
