Petals fell like snowflakes

On this, the first of spring

Each time they would smooch

Weather did a strange thing

At times, it was like summer

Then, twas autumn’s leaves

Lastly, winter, with its cold

Left icicles on the eaves

No matter where they kissed

Things would only get worse

It’s when they finally realized

They were under a kissing curse

Others told them to knock it off

They couldn’t stand the change

But, apparently this whole thing

Had been carefully prearranged

 

Happy Spring/Autumn Everyone! Enjoy your day!  ❤

How silly is Triskaidekaphobia?

It’s only a number, after all

Even the Roman’s chose the fifteenth

Twas when Caesar took his final fall

So why do we associate thirteen

With ladders, cracks and black cats?

Is it just another mischievous way

To scare others into thinking that

Something terrible will surely happen

If they pay no heed, to the supposed curse

We’ll let them think it’s just another day

But we know it to be much worse

Dry, like a desert’s swirling sand
Blowing across the cracking land

Masked behind the grains, a curtain
Of words, no longer am I certain

Finding no inner deep reward
I rattle, like a dried out gourd

Slipping into imagery
People only I can see

Lost among the dunes piled high
Reflecting on a life gone by

Forever, I wander, to find my way
Visions, thoughts, begin to fray

Into ragged pieces left behind
Cords that can no longer bind

Search again to find the verse
That rids me of this author’s curse

She is beautiful

A curse she hides very well

Beneath her facade

Midnight passed so long ago

Still I keep writing, yes, I know

Eyes are weary from the day

Closing slowly, all the way

Pencil drops on paper’s lap

Perhaps it’s time to take a nap

No, wait, I simply cannot stop

Words will disappear, then pop

Out of my overloaded mind

Never again will I find

The ones to finish the final verse

Falling asleep is really a curse
