Friday

Sabbath smiles demurely,
face composed as elegantly
as the notes of the hymns
choreographed and scripted.

Weekdays wear the humdrum uniform
of a living to be earned,
brightened by occasional smiles,
or an unexpected compliment
that makes me wonder in insecurity,
about what was really meant.

Friday afternoon sheds the week's fatigue,
choosing instead the me,

Simple Continuity

clock ticks without missing a beat,
traversing from one year to another,
tick tock, old year, new year,
a comforting continuity
amidst the fireworks and resolutions,
is the quiet celebration

bereft of foliage
shivers on the lawn, alone.

She


there is an air of purity about her,
a grace and elegance that only she owns,
she rises above obstacles
that would lay any one low,

and loves with all her soul.

she gives, because giving is her nature,
takes every blow and never falls,
light and good emanate from her
as she focuses on creating,
not on pain.

he touched the loneliness inside
hidden beneath the facade of acceptability,
like a phoenix, she rose from the ashes of a false reality,
and simply became.

Previously protected by protecol,
pretentions vanished in a haze of beauty,
transcended now to where she belonged,

Love for all Seasons

Spring smiled upon our first greeting,
glad eyes knew the occasion,
destiny granted that meeting,
your love entered the equation,
romance renewed my heart's beating,
embracing the situation.

Feelings grew fond before I knew,
Summer soon sealed the connection,
reluctance departed from view,
each day, I loved your affection,
happy to simply be with you,
