The Apology

The Apology

Implied devotion
spirals from my palms
vase of flowers plucked to thorns
hastily written words
left unread.

This is for "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Bits of Inspiration - Floral Explosion".  I used this quote for inspiration ""by plucking petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower" Rabindranath Tagore

Hold Tight

Hold Tight

I lightly caress

soft curve of cheek and chin,

a nose boyish,

a brow silky smooth

like the surface of a gentle pond.

My finger paints his morning face, 

tickles tips of lashes long,

gently circles soft brown eyes 

reflective of hopes and dreams 

of we who love him.

Soak in toothless smile

and arms fervently hugging,

close my eyes;

hold tight this moment
of seven year old boy.
