Holiday weekend...summer kick off 2010

Sharing The Same Mirror

We share the same mirror, the two of us
me on the left, you on the right,
...a slight blur between us
Two shadows sharing the same mirror
reflections of a past
maybe a promise for a future
who knows what it holds
and who cares when skipping the light fantastic
Time has been good to you
you smile
and I laugh at your vanity and flaunt my own
with a twist of my hair and red lipstick lips
that speak a version of the truth
A bleeding heart that cherishes the moments
few and far between
when love has been more than a band aid for what's been missing
Sharing the same mirror
the two of us
shadows from another time

Spring and Summer 2010...

Crashing Waves

Walking along the beach
shore line jagged edge worn
comfortable like an old hat
held in a familiar hand
tangles of seaweed drift
without intention…
your voice fades off
shattering sound - crashing waves
once again I remember
you are no longer here…

Winter Blues 2010

Powers of Love

A bit of nostalgia
floats through the air
a chill from the west side of Long Island
it blows across the Sound
in a whisper
a tiny voice
fingers to lips, hush
steel guitar serenading
is like a gentle touch
to a tattered heart
a mellow reminder
that fairy tales never fade
and time makes room
for the next chapter
of a very long story
of sand and shells
music and memories
your kiss is a soothing testament
to the powers of love…

Another Valentine's Day...love

A Moment

We were a moment
a flash of light
a shooting star
we were a moment
promises made
smiles shared -

We were a moment,
of passionate kisses
of whispered words
we were a moment
a bright future
a beautiful gift

We were a moment that will last a lifetime...Love
