Steal from me I thought you were giving to me… Your words of sweetness and feigning interest in who I am. And then they came to a stop, reversed and backed away. No more deep tugging at my heart, No more calls and kisses and hellos. It’s just suspended, short bursts of tiny moments with… Continue reading Steal From Me

The Night is Upon Us For the Wolf, by Victoria Yeary, April 3, 2019 The night is upon me and I hear the wolf cry And I wonder if his cry is for me? He is seeking a partner, someone to lie with on cold nights, deep in the forest. And I wonder if it’s… Continue reading Night is Upon Us- a poem
The Other Half of the Bed
It’s Saturday morning,Made coffee and brought it back to bed. I’m tired of coffee. It feels dull on my tongue. I sleep each night on one half, I wake to the other half, neatly tucked sheets without a crease. Where are you my best friend? Where are you my lover? The warmth of your body… Continue reading The Other Half of the Bed
Hold My Heart
Hold me; hold my heart. Hold it like a lover, softly, passionately. Hold it like a father, protectively, strongly. Hold it like a brother, laughing with me, playing along. Hold it like a best friend, secrets we only know, places we only go. And your heart? It is tucked within mine. It is held like… Continue reading Hold My Heart
Marmalade Heart
Marmalade Heart She plucks the Seville orange, bright, joyful color of a bumpy rind, digging her fingers into its flesh. Sprays of citrus flavor the air. Heaps of curling skins fall around her as she gently supremes the white, pithy webs of encasement. Juices dripping down her hands and wrist, as… Continue reading Marmalade Heart

A brief brilliance and you appear bigger, almost solid to my eyes. But float away you do, and… Continue reading Love and Sunsets

Sweet Death
They died today, a slow death. Blossoms extended fully, their last breath, Sweet and intoxicating. You appeared last Friday evening, with two dozen of them wrapped in cellophane. A surprise! Heart leaping in my chest, I took them from you with a kiss. These were not those kind of roses, a de rigueur'… Continue reading Sweet Death

Poems of Snow and Winter
I live in Denver, Colorado. It is a beautiful city where you may be in a bustling big city, but if you look west, you bring quickly into view the Rockies. This time of year they are spectacular. Large crests of white peaks and lower ranges deep with the black-blue pine trees dotted with snow.… Continue reading Poems of Snow and Winter
