Love is like a wild wind
Am I just a howling wildness?
or maybe a howling triumph!
...

In evening's solitude sipping a glass of wine, or
maybe two, and listening to Roberta's love songs
Being spirited away dizzily to dream land
...

Her First born that seems so long ago:

Peering into my mind
Look at what I see!
...

Early on: the radiance morning sun
infusing space and exposing me unbound
I lay beside him, marveling aura waltzing
behind my eyelids
...

We found each other under the evening sky
the moon sat directly over our heads and sent
tidal waves that made our hearts bulge with love.
...

Your friendship likens the sun-
it lights up the world

Your friendship likens a fruit-
...

She with child waged a fight
But baby won outright

Then she struggled with self
...

There they lay watching the rising sun.
No more can night see daylight
than the darkness hide her anymore.
Desiring a new beginning, as the old world
...

Red and white garlands draped the treasure chest.
They marched in tandem in the quietness of
The cathedral, offering up sorrowful
Tears to her crimson dressed body
...

My dear, every journey
Begins with one single step,
then another, they alternate
with each other, and the body

Here, here, here, Princess
My little puffball
My baby girl wants
a Christmas tree, yet
...

We found each other, hungry,
thirsty, and singed by love.
I'm charred by love again, then
you left this rapacious lioness
...

"Mother You have A Baby Boy" while laying
Seven pounds of flesh on my throbbing
heart, tears streaming down my face, drops
falling on his light brown hair, and the crease
...

Cloud and gloom hang low
Sunshine nowhere in sight
Herein lies autumn mood
...

Fourth Born


While they were carefully restoring
...

Man dressed in black
Holding high and tight
His scythe.
Teasing me
...

Time occupies her beauty
Few gaze upon her in awe
Age like a winter day, too,
a wilted flower in May
...

Joy, Joy, Joy


J oy-filled cornucopia that
...

</>How long,
should it matter
or is it just desire
out-living performance?

I SHALL DOTE MYSELF

I was inspired to write "I Shall Dote Myself" Mother's Day, after noticing I had not received one card from my four (4) children! I thought, perhaps they cannot -after so many Mother's Days-find the words to express their sentiments. Her, my children, I shall dote myself:
