Ruby Star Poems

Velvet night
dark brimming cup
a warm vessel,
steamy cauldron
...

Today I feel like
a dandelion seed
puffed onto the breeze
a little thing
...

I wish I could delete my own browser history
all those loop within loop
dead end searches for meaning,
those cheerful commitments
...

I will not shrink from that battlefield
where the heat of longing meets
the chill of dread,
where cold steel fingers,
...

I am perfect in my imperfection.

It is my fallen state
...

I am weaving a new world
filaments of light
cool shades of peace
rich tones of love
...

Moving over your sunwarm body
barefoot
I feel the thrum and thud of
your heartbeat
...

Number 2
...

Where rubber meets road
where pedal meets metal
where ball meets bat
that's where I'm at.
