Re-Wind Me, My Captain

Flying your vessel

With a siren’s wail,

I am the only way

To steer my course,

For you, my Captain

Leapt for the sea

Leeward without me.

 

I know nothing, alone

In the no-go zone…

 

But re-wind me

With a bellow, Captain,

I’ll come back to you

About the next puff,

 

For with you I’d sail

Every sunset of time

Even in waters rough.

 
(I wrote this in 2015 while living in Colorado and learning to sail. I’ve really been wanting to jump ship and sail away lately, lol. I still have some old writing published 🙂
 

Sailing to Sit

Grass blades prickling toes

dancing as I lift a daisy

from ground to nose,

sniffing my eyes high

to catch the right cloud,

jump up and hitch a ride

sailing to sit by your side

take your hand in mine

andWAIT to see what you would do

if you knew I’m so in love with you!?!

Face It

Cracked glass clouded by steam,

the reflection skewed reality,

my face distorted, monstrous!

That’s why I cover mirrors.

Sometimes, someone sees me,

wheels making me too obvious,

and I ponder what they think…

“You’re so strong!” One exclaimed.

Muscles atrophied to skin ‘n’ bone

long ago, weakness whittled

from could to should to won’t

with my soul my gut’s blackhole

sucking up good, bad ‘n’ all…

It’s not the wrinkles or dark spots

aging looks back and takes stock:

Who were you? Who’ve you become?

Does your soul just need a hug?

LEARN TO GIVE YOURSELF LOVE ❤️

The Swoon

The swoon:

meeting your eyes

across the room…

oh my swoon,

my chest

like a balloon

enlarging

as you come

closer, sauntering

in my direction

with determination

for further erection

of our firey connection…

Oh my swoon!!! You.

Dark my thirst

to drink you in,

stripped of all

inhibitions!

I stare still.

In your eyes

I HAVE TO DIVE.
