Poetry & Such
Sometimes poetry I write
Not always good, but all right
So I’ll share what I create
In hopes that you’ll relate
And my efforts appreciate.
Crepúsculo
The sky pinkens over green
Swathed mountains; sister moon,
Llena, hangs early in the
Eastern sky. Soon families
Will gather ‘round, then tuck in,
But for this one silent
Moment day balances night
And peace pulls close in. Light’s
Last humming flier buzzes
Past dark’s first fluttering
Hunter, while jeweled locusts bridge
The horizons with sound,
Farewelling sapphire and
Welcoming onyx. Sweet
Musk of ylang-ylang entwines with
Cena’s spicy lure. The
Earth takes a breath, waiting, as
Day’s southern breeze fades to
Stillness. Night, en pointe, pauses.
Niña’s laugh rings uphill;
In the valley, perro barks
In single harmony
And in a rush the dancer
Twirls past, leaps wide, and the
Curtain closes… Fín.
Que Falta
The wanting of a heart and that which has
Been denied crash head-on, a shattering
Shaking ache of longing which life holds, as
Though forbidden fruit, just out of reaching,
Dangling the hope of joy and beauty
But never the half-spoken word keeping.
Hope held, as stars in the sky, above thee,
Glittering diamond bright, full enticing,
A siren’s song of fulfillment made not
Full, leaves empty a heart desiring
For love and completion. Sorrow burns, hot,
Fevered, a tossing nightmare of wasting
Hours, weeks, years. Lost and bereft I stand,
What I long for beyond reach of my hand.
