Inside or out
ocean tumbles rock to sand
the heart’s the same

A Dream of Love #poetry #atoz #napowrimo
My love for you forever be
emblazoned in our hearts and minds
Its timelessness will set us free
my love for you forever be
“someday”- always you and me
if we can only bide the time
my love for you forever be
emblazoned in our hearts and minds

This year for A to Z challenge, I am using the Nautilus as my inspiration all month. The shell has many chambers (at least enough to fit all the letters.) You will find poetry, You will find some dark stuff (as I am attempting to branch into the horror genre), You will also see a smattering of short stories or prose (some with children in mind) others as lessons that we can all learn from. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know some talented writers over this month long writing journey. Please check over at the A to Z challenge and see what they are up to; they are a fine bunch of folks.
Dance With Me #tango #haiku
Held in your embrace
Latin chords begin to play
“we” are all we know
***
starting as a pair
the music is unaware
that we aren’t just one
**
hot, wet is your kiss
heated hearts take flight and soar
whirling willed by notes
Thanks to Carpe Diem for the Haiku prompt and the Tango

Through the Portal… #OneShotWednesday
Look with me through that portal there
A world where the sun never sets
Light scintillates playfully on crystal clear waters
New life springs forth ~ a prism of beauty and vigor
***
Look with me at the wonders of life
hands laced offering comfort and strength
sweet melodic words caught in the breeze
unceasing devotion spoken with sparkling eyes
***
Look with me at a vibrant love
slipping between the fabric of unquenched desire
passion is caught never let go
a magnificent beat echos in two hearts
***
Come with me to that place
where the sun never sets on our love
catch me and never let me go
know love in eyes that say “forever yours”
this is where I want to be
I will extend two invitations today. One to our growing poetry site at One Stop Poetry. We welcome poets to share their work and get feedback.
The second to read the prologue of my novel The Quest for Titan co-authored with Sean Vessey. I have collaborated in the past – when it works the words flow. Sean is a fantastic person to share ideas with ~ this novel is writing itself ( practically).
Thanks to each of you for your support, encouragement and inspiration – you keep me going each day as a writer.

The Last of the Hearts (One Stop Poetry)
The game of life was on
players easing into another hand
spades, diamonds and clubs flying
one man controlled the game
with high trump
***
masterfully skilled
keeping his eye on the others
the cavalier swept more into his cache
waiting to take it
all
***
… and there they were
the helpless hearts
could no one protect them
from his grasp?
**
Alas
none could stand
against this man
the skillful manipulator
***
one lone heart beat
quivering
against his dark gleam
hoping for
reprieve
***
holding herself back
lest she too
be swept into the pile
of broken hearts
This poem is just one amoungst the myriad of finely written work. Please check out the poets at One Stop Poetry.

Silence (One Shot Wednesday) #poetry
The space between our words
almost as piteous
as the distance between
our hearts
***
Unbearable silence
when you abandon me
I am left enslaved
on a thought
for days
***
To measure loneliness
by absence
of sound
expounds emptiness
***
my heart is trapped
in this vacuum
silence
will be
my ruin
Each week One Stop Poetry aspires to join poets together to express and inspire. One Shot Wednesday is an open community for those who love to write poetry.
Hearts -Side by Side
He listens more to the words she writes
than most listen to the words she speaks
understands, anticipates the unspoken
what is this relationship?
transcendent reality, illusion of happiness
her mind alive in him
world where thoughts merge
takes her breath away while never breathing the same air
*****
blue of her eyes seen in each clear sky
knows the gentle quiver of her smile
yet never touches her lips
rose-like softness and fragrance awaken his senses
each touch belongs to her fingertips
in the path of life their hearts walk side by side
a song echos their story
penned in moon dust
