Midnight Snack

Some people are magic,
slight of hand imperceptible,
gives the illusion of fair play,
I fall for that line each time.

He says the grass is purple,

I stare at the green carpet,
And when I look into his eyes,
I see he is truth. 

I’m under a spell, cast by golden eyes.

The smile holds me transfixed, I only
see his artist lips, one crooked tooth,
I long to hear his voice. I’m hypnotized.

His hands mesmerize,
hold me in their grasp.
I want him to take me
in strong, muscular arms.

He’s magic, I know what the apple is

but I take a bite anyway. 

Open

I drive south in the dusky early morning light.
The heavens show up as swirls of pink and gray,
a marble I view from inside

On my left a bright, white string of car lights

waking me from my automatic drive
to see the swirling beauty of this
one of a kind morning.

Worn and Tired

Don’t want to think any more

So much pull and shove
Between here and there
Don’t make me think any more.

My Nail Tech

Communcation free flowing.
Laughter and tears, too.
She holds my hand as
she polishes my nails.
I love her,
she is my daughter.

Blog Hop

Aroma of coffee rises,
mingles with scent of vanilla
from candle that glows nearby.
Red robe light and feather soft
on my shoulders and neck.
I blog hop to read poetry online.

Gifting

Hello Kitty Pink Hot Chocolate
in pink and red wrapper. 
I get it for my sister-in-law
who loves Hello Kitty.  
I can see her smile as she opens it. 
Such an inexpensive gift
has already brought abundant joy.

Togetherness, Sweet and Telling

Daughter shares something with me at the movie.
Nothing big, but I would not have known otherwise.
The sharing wouldn’t take place but for this movie,
the ease of our laughter, and the discovery that we
eat popcorn the same way, one fluffy kernel at a time.
