the heavy silence of a mid-May morning,
fills in the blank spaces and resting places,
of a fleeting memory

Rose Petals, Lavender and Rind
these smells
make me
close my eyes–
and sigh
Bracket
your body and its reflection
resemble a bracket,
emphatically holding the day–
every call from screeching gulls,
each breeze rippling marshy waters,
all the tiny gnats hovering above the flat surface,
and every stray desire dispelled by me,
and perhaps by you, on that waning afternoon
Counting Towers
on the way home, i counted the towers
and watched the skies shift from pink and peach
to bright gold and crimson before settling on the deepest, darkest blue–
melting into the midnight, the towers disappeared
Dreams
dreams linger–
sitting silently on velvety petals
shimmering and shifting–
before drifting deftly away,
and landing upon the next tender bud
Seductive Tulips
you captivate with your languid longing

Sunset
the closing of the day
Distance
i thought you were alone,
but there were two other geese
roaming the field,
and when we walked by
you called out loudly
to them?
to me?
we were all at attention,
your intention was clear–
i walked by gently,
loving you from a distance
Pink Petals
delicate pink petals
pinch my heart–
the memories come flooding,
tumbling,
racing
into the space that is now,
that was then,
that was when
we were young
