All we take
with us
is memories
I've carefully wrapped
mine
in tissue
The ones
filled with light
are the most
delicate
The dark ones
make good
packing material

Unstable Realm
I take the words and set them aside My prized cache I sometimes file them neatly Other days they blend and fade Dissolving A brief glimpse They tantalize with only hints of what they can become I keep the case locked guard them hoard them Their opaque existence an unstable realm Copyright © 2019 Penny Wilson *Words and phrases become treasures hoarded. Seedlings for future poetry, writings. These are so fleeting. If I don’t immediately write them down, they are usually lost, gone forever. Image by StockSnap from Pixabay
Rain Kiss
Kiss me in the rain Thunder in my heart Lightning in your touch Flames no downpour can extinguish Desire washes over me Cravings quenched Kiss me in the rain. Copyright (C) 2019 Penny Wilson
Search
The search never ending you were at my fingertips once and slipped away I found you in a smile or so I thought My illusions tease me Your image like waves on asphalt in summer Your voice whispers in the shadows waking me Breezes carries a scent of you I pursue Your touch I miss most Copyright © 2019 Penny Wilson
Falling Star
Burning brightly Resplendent and beautiful Wings spread Flying among the celestial Caught up in a world Too fast Quickly falling from grace from the heavens In a rush to grow to experience This falling Star Flaming briefly only to die out Extinguished all too soon Copyright (C) 2019 Penny Wilson
The Moment
For a second maybe two our eyes meet Yours held mine prisoner Me gladly surrendering Joyfully longingly falling Into those clear cool pools The moment now gone You turn away Would you smile a welcome? Do you know this heart? reaching We will never know Copyright © 2019 Penny Wilson Image by Olichel Adamovich from Pixabay
Eternally Bound
The blood moon tells his secrets whispering to the sea The sea rushes faint from passion surging against the shores reaching for her love The moon blushes darker swollen with desire These lovers distant lovers Never to caress the other Eternally bound Copyright (C) 2019 Penny Wilson
Living in the Light
Hope
brushed away the cobwebs
The demons
emerging
once more pushed back
The spiral
stopped
Feet on the ground
moving forward
tentative steps
Light caresses my cheek
The sun
a blessing
Out of the shadows
encasing this heart
To live
in the light once more

Cleansing
Clouds dark foreboding Fat and heavy with rain Thunder rumbles a threat Deep inside my chest Electricity in my marrow A scream of lightening sets the sky ablaze Eyes turn to the heavens The sky weeps tears Engorged sky spills over salty and hot Pray for cleansing Deliverance A torrent washes over me Copyrighht (C) 2019 Penny Wilson
Interpretations
We don't talk about it The keyboard lets me bleed it onto the page No constraints No gavel of fate Rationality of my own design Interpretations abound Copyright © 2019 Penny Wilson
