The autumn oak bows
summer passes, unnoticed
crimson winsome leaf.

Final resting place
one day, someday, forever
my head on your chest.

Stargazer.

Gazing up at moonlit skies
surveying stars and constellations
you dream of journeys off to Mars
the red planet holds your fascination
I too am gazing at the stars
I think of you and where you are
my shining companion in this darkness
revolving around me like a binary star.

Life Sucks!

Life is slowly sucked out of us
or escapes
a balloon
deflates
no bounce
we wither up
hurt quietly
cry silently
nothingness
no mess

Not I
I bounce
I float
delight
soaring higher
Then....
BANG
I burst
a mess
I'm hurt
a bloody wreck
pieces everywhere

Life is slowly sucked out of us
or escapes...........

Wasted tears on you
undeterred, I vanquish on
prevailing heartache

You pursue my thoughts
I invite you to my dreams
blissfully foolish

Anticipation
electric atmosphere-then
precipitation

Always dreams of him
his familiar face haunts her
she longs for nightfall

2011 © LH

Infatuation
this lingering aroma
intoxicating

2011 © LH

His soft touch pleases
her unfolding beauty stirs
aroused awakening

The mustang ponders
freedom- as the red tailed hawk
yet no ties bind him

No moonlight tonight
only a dark cloud hanging
and no end in sight
