| Riddle Me This There are no lies, And no truths, Only shades of gray. Courage isn't always following The straight and narrow, But the road not taken. In more ways than one, Justice and love Are permanently blind. Curiouser, And curiouser Are the shades of gray. |

| A Storm Brews On My Horizon Though the clouds are gathering, You still have time Before the downpour. Saffron streaks across An ebony and sapphire canvas. Please come inside. All is not lost, Yet. Do not get caught in the rain. The wind is rushing through the dogwoods, Ruffling blossoms and scattering petals to the ground. You can make it ahead of the storm The wind is whispering over abandoned dreams Still more sighing Over love's letters lost forever. The shower begins, Teardrops cascading down my face, And pooling in my pillow. Please come inside. Don't get caught in the rain. Forever. ~~~~~ Floating Still Calmer tides Are turning everywhere. Yet seeing love mirrored in the eyes of so many And reflected constantly in their actions, Makes me wonder how it feels to dive in heart before head. Should I test the waters? To know someone inside-out, outside-in, And everywhere in between. Needing, not despite flaws, but because of them. Adrift in this tumultuous current, I keep holding my breath, For solid ground will never compare. Back Home More Poems |
| Sweet Nothing There are so many superlatives, In what we do not say. Knowing smiles. Candid glances, Words are not so telling. Love is on your lips, But a lie is in your eyes. Whisper it away, Make me forget, The reason violets are blue. |
