Debora Short Poems

(know that they loved you)

Our history closely
Mirrors the shape of our clay
...

Sands of time, sands of home, and sands of love
Sing such lovely songs to my well traveled

Sandy toes tickled warm Caribbean
...

The under-painting reveals a lightly
Misted late afternoon baby blue sky

Perhaps taking up the top seventh of
...

Deeply
Squinting
Past his pitiable myopic sight
In a calling discovery
...

Periwinkle dusk cradled in meringue-d moon -
Beams with tinged sun-drops each echoing its own

Crooning –love for day’s sweet end, far-flung skinny oaks
...

The under-painting reveals a lightly
Misted late afternoon baby blue sky

Perhaps taking up the top seventh of
...

Wispy calligraphy draws me into
The wintered blue that eyes and so lightly

Veils her shoulders in fine–twigged taupe lace
...

Periwinkle dusk cradled in meringue-d moon -
Beams with tinged sun-drops each echoing its own

Crooning –love for day’s sweet end, far-flung skinny oaks
...

“As Time Goes By”
Those Brits I have vision-ed
Constantly focus on
“Keeping Up Appearances”
...

And you strayed
Into
My heart
...
