Thank you, my friend

The hearty cacophony
A pleasant welcome
In the otherwise
Silent, serene seclusion.
A cup of coffee
On
A cozy couch
Served hot
With
Friendly banter,
Spiced with
Silly squabbles,
Sugared with
Picture perfect
Moments of
Relieving
And
Reliving
Life,
(As we know it,
As we knew it,
And
As we shall know it)
Sipping the heavenly
Bliss of being able
To band together.

Nothing beats that.

  1. Couldn't agree more with your sentiment. I love sharing time with others. I thought that you captured that sense of warm friendship and comaraderie very well all throughout your poem. Thank you for linking up this week and reminding us of the simple pleasures of being with others. :)

  3. "The heavenly / Bliss of being able / to band together." Doesn't that just say it all? This was lovely.

Showstopper's Yesterday

The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

Faint glimmer in heart

Ripe autumn air’s come to bless. Showering sweet November caress. We could be holding hands and walking, Silent but still talking. Faint glimmer in heart. White winters, no flowers in sight. Frosty December moonless night. And here I am hoping for your arm, To keep me safe, to keep me warm. Faint glimmer in heart. The year twenty twelve is leap they say. Oh! I can hope some more, there’s one more day. Hope for smiling summers with you, Hope for blessings to rain through. Faint glimmer in heart. Dying, not yet vanished, There’s a faint glimmer in this heart. Linking with Trifecta : Week Fifty Linking with Velvet Verbosity : 100 Words

The pain is all gone

It wasn't the first time. And it would not be the last. She could not stand them suffering like that. She asked for his consent. He expressed his willingness in whimpering sounds. And the pain was gone – forever. Linking up with Trifecta : Trifextra - Week Nineteen
