Whenever my arms start waving
Before I start ranting and raving
Hubby hops in the car, but doesn’t go far
Cause he knows it’s the sign of a craving

The munchies have struck me, oh my
Better hope you’re not standing nearby
See, I grab what is here, without any fear
Stress gets the best of me, sigh

My limit has now been exceeded
My doctor’s orders, unheeded
I crunch and I munch, shove in a bunch
These chips were just what I needed

My lantern, a light
Through a cold lonely night
Feeling the numbness
Surrounding

Storm clouds clear
As my love draws near
And the ocean churns
Abounding

My body and soul
Now becomes whole
My heart beat will guide you
Pounding

For the waters between
And visions foreseen
Speak to our passions
Resounding

Ebony Hue ~ #poetry

Night settles over, like a vaporous gloom

Envelopes my soul, in a darkening tomb

Looking ahead, I seek out the light

The only one promising, to bring me through night

Skies part the way, not a moment too soon

All at once I am swallowed, by a heavenly moon

As day comes to an end, and the sun bids adieu

The eventide wraps me, in its ebony hue

The last of the leaves fall

Like a swirling tornado, they fly

How I long to be one of them

Iridescent Truths ~ #poetry #NovemberWriting

"give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself', #NovemberWriting, #poetry, #writingprompt, bubble, dorindaduclos.com, iridescent, lies, Night Owl Poetry, poems, truth, writing


No matter the angle in which we view

Seems it’s always changing before us

They claim what you see is normalcy

No reason to cause such a fuss

Multicolored phrases

Catch on the tips of tongues

How can we believe the words?

When the truths become undone

Seems simple to tell the story

When the lies come too quickly to mind

Not so, when you try to remember them

Who you are is now clearly defined

How easy it is to burst that bubble

When it’s made only of water and soap

Much easier to tell the truth, my friend

Much harder to shorten the rope
