Night Owl Poetry – Dorinda Duclos

Hello friends.

I’ll be taking a break from blogging. I’m not sure how long. My mom fell this morning and broke her clavicle. We’re still deciding what course of care needs to be taken.

Please keep my seat warm…

Be well and hope to be back soon.

Should this warm your soul, please share.

Feel my warmth against your skin

A fire simmers from deep within

A heart, surrenders, to a touch

Lips against lips, in a silent hush

Two body’s crash in a single burn

Flesh upon flesh in a single turn

Feelings that can no longer hide

Release this yearning ache inside

Passionate cravings, fuel for the fire

Two become one in heated desire

Many words

Bound, silent pages

Emotions

Rising up

Unable to keep quiet

They speak in volumes

Poison Ivy – #poetry #garden

Fifty plus years went by, without a hitch

Until last week, that son of a bitch gun

Old ivy, the poison of every man’s Eden

Roams, about my garden, with freedom

I must’ve pulled it, along with the dead

So, of course, it reared its ugly head

Made me itchy, scratch, scratch, scratch

Twas kind of dumb, as more did hatch

But, now, I’m on the mend, thank God

Think I’ll stay away, from that patch of sod

In the Nook – #poetry – #JulyWriting

Twas once a home, standing
Now, broken down and torn
Vines of leaves, hide its eaves
With branches, full of thorns

Windows, in many pieces
No curtains, do they hold
Still, he sees, beyond the trees
The humans, stark and cold

Hunching between the layers
Of bricks, still standing here
He cries in vain, and yet, again
Promises, never, to disappear

Left alone and long forgotten
He stays hidden, never exposed
By grass so high, as time slips by
He sleeps, in quiet repose

But…

Should you happen to pass this way
And you hear the whisper of a sigh
Don’t stop to look, at what’s in the nook
It’s much safer, to keep walking by
