The waterfall-Where?There in the corner-The tiny one there?Simple in its space-Gentle Rousseau, can you hear us?With the hidden figure-We’re bringing brushes and paintsIn tall grass watching-Oh heavens gate!As small deer gather-Certainly a leisurely passion.Behind the large tree we lean upon-Truthfully? It’s light …With large leaves shade-Better than that portrait though,Giant haystacks-Painted facing the stars,Lead toContinue reading “Rousseau’s Waterfall”

Take Care
Please take care, I know her not.She is tall and fair. Wherever shall I take her?Take her home That is boldNot yours but where she does roam And alone leave her?You don’t care. I would but you said leave her. This is for a dVerse prompt: The Quadrille is really quite simple when you boilContinue reading “Take Care”
Waiting for Moonlight
I stand upon the sandy dunesWaiting for the moonSinging catchy little happy tunesI’ve been waiting here since noonIt rises in the eastThough I’m bad with directionsIt doesn’t bother me in the leastI’ve been taking up collectionsSet up a chair and a standI whisper created fortunesNow I’ve got a bandThe profits in the marginsMoonlight won’t youContinue reading “Waiting for Moonlight”
These I Have Loved
The sun on a summer’s day Whose heat I yearn for like the hotness of youThe cool of a breeze Like the breath from between your soft lipsThe morning dew That gathers outside our window as we sleep in to afternoonSilence after a hectic day That leads to the sounds we make at nightThe softContinue reading “These I Have Loved”
The Darkest Thought
“I am the creature who smells your darkest thoughts,” said the creature. This was true. It was the source of its greatest power, and its greatest weakness. “And am I a pleasant aroma?” I asked. I walked lightly upon the tatami mats. The traditional grass and rice straw mats padded my footsteps as I movedContinue reading “The Darkest Thought”

The Dark of Night
The dark of night, furthest from the dayLeads me into the darkest shadows.Where imaginations come out to play;Dance upon my mind’s dark gallows.See where the moon dare not glow.Open your eyes wide to the possibility.Prepare your heart for the gruesome showBrought to life by an unholy trinity.Me, myself and ICome for you, yours and yourself.OhContinue reading “The Dark of Night”
Weed Puff
I blow softly upon the puff of a weed. Little seeds float in the air. Carry upon the wind, to land and germinate. Soon to grow, flower and bloom. Small seed fluff, hoping for a soft exhale of air or harsh wind to blow. This is for a dVerse prompt: Pen us a poem ofContinue reading “Weed Puff”
Faintly In Memories
The scent of your perfume remainsFaintly on the bed sheets where we used to layThe early morning sun streams through the curtainThin shadows form across my faceAged by each morning I wake without youI miss you, though not as much as I used toMy heartbeat echoes faintly in the room we used Your ghost stillContinue reading “Faintly In Memories”
This Shot of Whiskey
The thoughts of you float through my memoriesThis shot of whisky fuels my whimsyI want you with meI left in the morningMy stuff in my handsMy heart stayed in your handsThis shot of whisky calls your nameMy lips do the sameMy heart still lays in your handsMy mind can’t erase the image of your faceMyContinue reading “This Shot of Whiskey”
