Late night soup-sipping
With those I love

Friday, January 22, 2010

Curled up on the couch,
I notice
The crowded space
Where the tree was was,
A short while ago.

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Dog drinks big mouthfuls
Walking off,
He leaves a river in his wake.

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Notes carress my mind
Sensuous
My fingers dance
Instinctually
To the music

fuzzy cat
curls up
on fuzzy blanket

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Curled up in the corner of the couch
Tucked under a pink wool blanket
She clutches a deep blue mug.

Friday, January 15, 2010

Early afternoon
clean-ribbon-tied-rushing
For tea in the woods.

~

A January day
When Winter remembers that
It doesn't last forever.

A solemn lady
On an old wooden desk
Eyes turned downward

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

feline footprints
purposeful, across the lawn
imprints in the dark

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Discarded on the floor
Limbs splayed
In a patch of sunlight
The doll's shirt glitters.

~

Half-lit
The light and the shadows
Wage war on a flower
Half-dark
The lamp and the setting sun
Dance over the petals

~

The sunset
Tree-Silhouette
Water frosting on the glass
Framed in a window
Light fading fast.

Sprawling,
The Airedale thinks he owns the chair.

~

Glistening wrappers
Scattered on a wooden desk
Shine in the lamp light

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Needle flash-weaving
Through furry fabric
A life emerges.

~

hair shining
concentration
hunched shoulders
busy fingers
new eyes to the world.

~

I plug the lights in:
One last night, bittersweet, of magic.

Saturday, January 9, 2010

Regal and annoyed,
The cat's tail twitches
In the still room.

~

murmurring
exclamations
laughter
drifting in from another room:
I sit and rock.

Friday, January 8, 2010

black ribbons around green stems
knotched leaves carress still air
petals tickle my skin

~

Sweetness brushes
Shadows curl
Thoughts shine over glossy leaves

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Enchantment is a state of mind
a swirl of colours
a collection of notes
a spark of understanding
that keeps the world Alive.

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

Seeing the words
Line upon line scrawling down,
My heart swells
Knowing they came from my hands
A smile pulls at my lips;
Satisfaction.

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

tiredness
weighs down eyelids
clings stubbornly to feet
and whispers stories in your ear

~

memories of Egypt
red lights under fresh snow
on a passing lawn

Sunday, January 3, 2010

The story:
My life
can be told in small mouthfulls of words
spit out daily onto blank sheets of paper

Friday, January 2, 2010

your name
echoes on my tongue

~

Quiet companionship
smiles, laughter, tears
And a flickering screen.

Friday, January 1, 2010

Sometimes
the only thing
that remembers
is the Silence

~

Winter
doesn't seem to have been a big inspiration to me
in the past.
I don't understand why
because the
Glitter snow
Still
Cold
Breath
muffled
haunts me.

watching writers-
brows creased,
craft their words.

~

The triple moons glitter
One, in the sky
Two, on a screen
Three, in my heart.

~

When I close my eyes
The Moon
Reflected in the dark behind my lids
