Raising Spirits
He said it once
Never again
Now it's like a seance
To contact her man
Spirits appear
As soon as she speaks
A future so bright
Turning so bleak
Can she break the ice
Dropped into his whiskey?
Or call on the departed
(Far less risky)
Does he love her?
Yes-No-Yes
Definitely maybe
She'll just have to guess
So she raises a glass
Time for a toast
Her...

The Manicure
More silly modern fairytales
A well shaped square
Metallic black
These nails were long
Ready to scratch
On restaurant table
You could hear them tap
Undecided
His eyes or his back?
moral of the story- Never stand up a woman who got her nails done especially for a date 😁

Sand Witches
A modern fairy tale....
Sand witches
On beaches
Searching for snacks
Soon caught in the middle
There's no turning back
Please lettuce talk
A cheesy smiled plea
No savin' his bacon
He's BLT
Eaten up whole
In all but a gulp
They spit out
His soul
Into castles they sculpt
Now forever he lives
Between sea and land
A drop in the ocean
The last gr...

Guessing!
Sometimes I like to explore the poetic quality of telling a story in as little words as possible! 😆
He was private
But she liked that
He never told her
His name
Saturday 24th June 2023 7:49 pm
He's an insta lover
Stolen focus
Wandering mind
Thoughts like locusts
Swarming all sides
Eyes fixed on a screen
Thumb keeps swiping
Reality calls
He's clearly declining
Just one more DM
Or maybe a snap?
She's keen to see him
Now he won't reply back
So she asks him again
When can we meet?
He can't think what to send
Then clicks on delete

Solstice
Sunshine concealed
Her darkness within
A summer so long
Whilst waiting for him
She bathes in his rays
His passion so hot
Today's just a burn
His tomorrow forgot
But she never moves on
Till still
Turns to stone
A cinder filled heart
On a solstice alone

Lotion Love
Sinking deep
Makes skin soft
Once applied
He could not
Get her off
She was his lotion

Heavenly Bodies
August is a great month for star gazers!
Fully clothed
With naked eye
She gazes upwards
To a moonlit sky
A mighty presence
Swiftly felt
Orion appears
Only wearing
A belt
She's waited here
Till an early morn
For his shimmering touch
On a summer's dawn
The hunter haunts her
As Venus looks on
But when sun arises
Her lover is gone

Distance Dating
Bitten by passion
In forbidden times
Meaning is missing
As each hour chimes
Watching his body
His face
Through a screen
Can a coin set him free
From this vending machine?
He offers a penny
Just for her thoughts....
' If you'd been some chocolate, I'd get what I've bought'
