Love Approaches (and Poetry still tumbles)

May 30, 2008 | Filed Under Life balance, Poetry, Poetry Tumble | 2 Comments 

Twenty-seven poems, all tumbled from one line in the midst of a poem by a poet who writes with truth. His line became the first line of my first poem in this tumble, and the last line of each becomes the first line of the next, connection or not, at Muse’s whim.

Curious who started my tumble through words? His poem (and name!) and my twenty-seven poems, in order written, are found under the Poetry Tumble tab at the top of the page, or simply click here.

27. Love Approaches

an unlocked heart
beckons love to its inner sanctum

but mind

could

still interfere

for reason voices its opinions,
formed long ago
now fed by worry

and others

and so, it is time to stand
tiptoes at precipice

Swan dive out of danger
with grace,
if you must

cartwheel headlong into love
with joy
if you dare

mind will adjust in time.

Found: Key to Marriage

A Marriage

Even after
34 years,
minus a day or two,
of marriage,

words still count

remarks still caress
or cut

heat inflames
or ignites

passion wanes
and explodes
(yes, both kinds)

differences surface
as similarities flow steady

visions merge one day
and split with force another

and commitment strengthens

fingers entwine
as schemes burst into fruition
between grins and wonder
at how on earth we got this far
and how much we want to stay
as one heart - and two personalities

and perhaps that was the key.

Colliding Worlds - 3WW

May 28, 2008 | Filed Under 3WW, Life balance, Poetry | 7 Comments 

Three Word Wednesday words: blurred illegal match

Read where these simple words took others here.

Colliding Words

The lines are blurred in
your mind

because it is more
convenient to take the easy path
and your inner conscious and
convenience-fitting-in-genes
are bruising each other’s vision
in ongoing war….

in mine, this side is right,
my vision is clear

HARD OR NOT….

Illegal is illegal,
you chose to work here
and in this world,
your stride
needs to match the law

but in your other worlds,
the choice is yours,

I have no opinion
nor a need for one,
for that is only play.
