    Apache Moon

    As I spread out my bedroll
    atop the high mesa,
    the aroma of pine and pinon
    surround the air
    and sear the rabbit
    roasting over the open flame.

    As I settle into the bedroll,
    and looking skyward, I
    am greeted by the infinity
    of glittering stars,
    and the rising Apache Moon.

    As the legend goes,
    if you make a true…Read More

  • City Peace

    The wind howls through my window

    The fire truck siren blares down the street

    The neighbor’s heated argument is in stereo sound

    The dogs whine in a pitch that rivals nails on chalk boards

    Yet I cannot sleep without the city’s peace.

    • The country may have its crickets, its coyotes’ howl, but this cannot match the window rattling as the EL train passes by. It’s funny how night sounds become familiar so that you can sleep. It took me a few weeks o be able to get to sleep after I moved from NYC back to PA and a more rural setting. -Curt🌹

    • Background noise as a lullaby.
      I totally get it.

    • Interesting. I recall growing up out in the country away from the city lights. The pitter patter of rain on a tin roof. The croaking of a bullfrog and symphonic chirping of crickets. The hoot of an owl. Now your poem has got me reminiscing.

    • Beautifully penned, Fia. Excellent write my friend. Home sweet home.. Appreciate you, Cuz.

    • It’s funny how I’m disturbed by silence in my city but calmed by it when camping. I think we become in tune with our environment and are unsettled when it steps out of rhythm.

    • That’s a lot of noise but then again you are in the city. If you didn’t like all of that, you wouldn’t be living there. Cool write Fia.

    Roack-a-bye, Baby

    I know no other way
    the weight of his absence presses
    aching…waiting…
    begging for his return
    as nights close in
    shadow draping me in yearning
    the remembrance nearly blistering
    moments of fierce and desperate
    thundering of twin beats
    throb piercing me
    and I cannot…will not…forget
    saturation a constant
    as…Read More

    • I feel this hunger and need. I like this.

    • Long distance can be urgent in the extreme. But it’s so worth the wait. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Dear W,

      Dang girl. This sizzler is well balanced with thoughtful hotness but not vulgarity. You let the reader envision what they want/need with passion and depth of feeling. There are visuals that lead us along while creating emotional ties of love and lust. The best of all balances. Great write. H🌷

    • It totally is worth the wait:)

    • Passionately penned, Willow. The words sizzle in their longing my friend. Excellent write. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

      Damian
