Inferno

" Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones,
as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire"

Rochefoucauld

the flame burns
lighting up a whole continent
unbearable heat

yearning for you
is like a malignant inferno
crucial to extinguish it

For The Weekend

Georgia Koch's Early Morning

carpe diem


early morning
silence before the rising sun
rain drops on a branch

windows steam up with warm breath
her finger writes ' good morning ' 

Spring Wedding

An afternoon wedding in the park; young ,beautiful,
their lives ahead of them. Perfect weather,joyful ambience, and I thought
this could have been have been us. I always cry at weddings.

blowing bubbles
at a spring wedding

A Dream Within A Dream

 carpe diem,poetry jam, three word wednesday, poets united

overwhelmed
by a feeling of devastion
hanging on
by a mere gossamer thread
poised over a bonfire
ready to plummet
the flames licking at my ankles
it would only take a pebble
to push me over the edge


a dream a nightmare
and you  there chained to me
we ride to nowhere
imprisoned by each other
in our eternal embrace
