love

Mister

Mister

you insist with your fist;
say you’re right with might;
demonstrate love with a shove.

i sigh.
i can’t remember why.

to Love

to Love

the last one standing.
you haven’t conquered anything.
you never even tried.
you’ll just endure to the end,
won’t you.
and nothing else
ever has mattered.

to Matriarchy

i look forward to my non-existence
being the fruit of my orchard,
a taste, sweet and juicy,
on un-kissed lips,
shaping words of
Love and Freedom.

to the Dance
while we love

trading at

Love Note

in a sweet-scented frenzy
that can’t last

Love Note

Tomorrow dawns with our embrace. We love prolifically, as thirsty Hibiscus. The sun comes. Our hearts open. Dead blooms fall to the ground. We don't look down.

Note for Another Day

To be a Mother.
To be a Lover.
To be Resolute
with my heart
is the art.
Soothsayers are for fantasizers and feeling misers.

Love Note

my morning glory
is silhouetted
in sunlight.
the world can wait.
we’ll be late.
