under its
fading glow

I yearn to rekindle
the embers
that is us

Slow Dance – Cherita

romance

vinyl spins
on the turntable

we slow dance
in our nakedness
by the warmth of the fire

Rain

Photo taken on a stormy afternoon, beauty embroiled in chaos

summer storm blows in
branches writhing in high winds –
earthy scent of rain

through window as we slow dance
naked to the rain’s rhythm

Court

such long willful gaze
it felt like courting out loud
and so it begins

folded in his arms
a delicious shiver dawns

Memories

“Sometimes if you’re lucky, someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who’s tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones”

– Snoop Dogg

Oh yes! Love this, the man is a poet!!

Now here is my effort:)

I look calm on the outside
My insides are getting there
A cloud of memories hover and
I am managing to keep them at bay
This connection – palpable still
After decades
Feels like yesterday
My breathing is staccato
I purse my lips to quiet the tremors at my center
I’m not sure how effective that is
As the longing in my eyes betray me
A hint of a smile reached his eyes
As he focused and held my gaze
Damn! He could tell what I was feeling.

( I think I’ll call this a free style poem)

This is in response to the joint effort Colleen at Silver Threading and Ron over at Ronovan Writes. The theme is Romance. So, we are taking a quote and from that weave a romance – poem or flash fiction.

Safe

a longed for moment
soon lost in hungry kisses
the safe feel of home
