Kiss The Dust – A Quadrille

by  • 

Kiss The Dust – A Quadrille


The steady rain kisses my cheeks
Mixing with my tears
I am waiting for you to come
and quell my deepest fears  
Why are you so late my love?
 I hope it is not true
You have found someone else
Maybe I always knew

Relaxation – A Quadrille

Relaxation





Steep the fragrant blossoms
In oil
and pluck the grapes 
from the vine 
Slice the ripe oranges
And sweeten the wine
 
Draw a bath
of fresh scented roses
and recline
in its relaxant power
Lie back closing your eyes
and envisage
the Lotus flower

Change –  Quadrille

Change






A change is as good as a rest 
and the Leopard can’t change his spots 
A change in the weather 
is like changing your socks 
  
You can change your tune 
and change your mind 
Now isn’t that strange 
The only thing inevitable
is change

Good Dog – A Quadrille

Good Dog


A good dog you cannot spoil


Nor can you teach her


to wag her tail


 


She is an angel on earth


Sent to you so you’ll know


Things are not so frail


 


Unconditional love


is yours for the asking


Given freely for your avail

Light Show – A Quadrille

Light Show


 


In the Milky Way


A sliver of the moon


Winks in the sky


Like a hook to catch


A fish that might fly


 


The night is glowing


As stars dot the darkness


Like a breadcrumb trail


Brightening your way home


On a galactic scale

Vision – A Quadrille

Vision


In the early morning light


You are a vision without a care


Long red hair tied up in a velvet ribbon


Your green dress worn with flair


 


You are playful in spirit


and full of excitement


To say you are beautiful 


is an understatement

Unsafe Harbor


You promised to love me


and to protect me always


Through thick and thin


for the rest of our days


 


However you lied to me


and my heart was broken


I harbor no ill will toward you, but


another word will never be spoken

Don’t Box Me In

In response to d’verse poets Quadrille #62 – BOX


Don’t think outside

the box

or even when you’re in it

Throw the box away


Containing nonsense

you never look at

Hoarding is a disease

You don’t need it anyway


Don’t get boxed in

like Jack did

He had to jump

Remember Boxing Day?

Puzzle

Here’s the jig

There’s the saw

Another puzzle to explore


Outsides first

Fill in the middle

A 3D riddle


There’s a corner piece

Some sky over there

Easier when you share


Bridge coming together

Few pieces remain

We’re finished now let’s do it again
