How Careless This Must Sound

I was lost without a trace,
And then I was found.

Rapunzel-4

say it well,
this we know:
time is hell,
all else snow.

Hurry Up

Time to conjure up happy visions:

Sunday afternoon tea; a gaming stall;

vacations by the beach. Time to call each

'Still Life' and hang it on a wall.

Sadness

Silence rends my every hour:

Your eyes neither speak nor start.

Shut out all light and devour

Savages who sadden your heart.

For You I'll Be

I Love You When You Leave Me

Tongue-tied and tender.

Pretty High

What are the odds
of love on the precipice of greatness
being thwarted by a crooked nose?

Our Unfinished Business

Lies between covers
Of leather planners
And pleasant manners.
Suspended, it hovers.

It waits for our song.
It's a check on your list.
Don't get me wrong,
But do get the gist.

Conversation

"Easy, it's raining."
"Surely, you're gaining."
"There's a fire in my heart."
"Oh, please. Don't start."

Bare It All

Be more to me
than a happy voice
and the saddest heart
I'll ever see.
