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.

The Kenyan Way
This is Kenya I pour hot milk in my morning coffee, strange smells of unidentified wood burning a short distance away. The smell drifts through my lattice-barred windows.

But they are just many, so many of trillions, that… Continue reading Words Come And Go- a poem
A Poem-Would You Like To Know?
Would you like to know? Would you like to know… How I dream in color, malachite greens melting into topaz blue, the color of sky. How my feet move and my hips swing while I’m in the kitchen, making red sauces and drinking red wine. How my hands slide over and down my body, caressing… Continue reading A Poem-Would You Like To Know?
A Dancer’s Shape
Bend Body. Bend the way of the dancer. Bend the foot perpendicular to the floor. Bend and show me I still have it, Years have fallen far on the other side of youth, But if I you manage a deep plie`, knees turned outward, at attention and poised. I’ll be most grateful. Sway Body. Sway… Continue reading A Dancer’s Shape
Fresh Start
He is hungry. He is longing. He wants to see himself through fresh eyes...your eyes. He wants your voice to assure him that the past years, the past months are not his life. He wants your kiss to revive him from the dead leaves of winter he's been standing on. He wants your arms, your… Continue reading Fresh Start
Anticipation of the First Meeting of an Online Date
Anticipation of the First Meeting of an Online Date. It is the fresh opportunity, The swirling of our imaginations and longings that create a prelude before the first scene has been written. What will I wear? Where shall we meet? What energy and vibe will I carry in my heart? Act all neutral, nonchalant as… Continue reading Anticipation of the First Meeting of an Online Date
