Stephanie Eve Kane Arado Poems

G lorious sunshine dances off clear crystal streams
Brown bears catch fish while the landscape gleams

W onderful flocks gather on evergreen trees
...

One day you’ll stay my renegade lover
When you are tired of one night romance
Around my neighborhood you will hover
I look forward to your artful word dance
...

In a small alcove on the north east side
Magic and laughter erupt from inside
Ms. Sandy gives smiles and gentle direction
To young lads and ladies who gaze at her collection
...

I almost stayed in bed today dreaming
Of times past, present day and future plans
Random thoughts floated, turned into scheming
Like spiders who spin webs ‘round ceiling fans
...

Years of velvet and rhinestones remembered
Bejeweled, hairsprayed and sozzlled by morning
Red wine soaked memories, some still treasured
Late wakeup still in makeup while ears ring
...

Poet, teacher, Adventist believer
Lavender scent surrounds my memory
Lovely testament to our Redeemer
Learned lady who tells a good story
...

We almost kissed on a light fall evening
Outside the crumbling coliseum
Our banter reaching a crescendo
Leading to a desire for consummation
...

Driving that blue Volvo
Parked strategically in a free spot
Escorting me through Chicago streets
Adept at the social nightlife scene
...

Blond and spiky you looked down at me
I believe this was your opening line
Your tattoos hidden by long sleeved shirts
Your emotion breaking through a cigarette grin
...

One day we drove to the Zion power plant
To go salmon fishing at 3 am
I had accompanied you on many trips
Once you dragged out a large cat fish
...
