always hoping

If people opened their hearts and eyes
Their joy in that kindness would be a
Most pleasant surprise

the kiss

the fragrant love of a gentle kiss
as it wafts softly upon
a waiting cheek.

desnudo in the daze of corona

our lives stripped bear
by the loss of realities
that for granted were
taken.
as we wait for word
from those
whose voices speak
when ours are
hardly heard!

upupup

if up we look
the joys we will
find
as the troubles fall
far behind

like now

there are times when all the chaos needs
to be relegated to someone else's bad dreams
there are times when things stand brackish,
still as stone
at times like these
it is far too easy to feel
alone.
but we are as ONE in
this battle ahead
if we stand hearts together
we can win,
instead.
so please all people whatever
your differences be,
we were born to sing
as ONE in
harmony.
share the love
let your heart ring clear
we are one breath in
unison
far
and
near....

thank you💖

some beauty

some beauty takes your breath away.
while other beauty is blown away by
your breath.

pom

oh how i remember that sweet corsage
memories flooding forth
in a loving barrage.
