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...

On Post-it notes

Hoping something

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

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'
