For I Can Fly

There are those Who cannot see above the clouds. Or dream beyond The rainbows of the stars. People blind to colors Such as midnight raven blue Or ocean thunder black Yellow orange mango sunset hues, or Purple heather painted vines And velvet lavender lilac blues Nestled in the mountain’s lakes. There are those for whom [...]

He Sings

He sings…

In the middle of the morning

For no apparent reason

I can fathom

He must be happy

So it would seem

To those of us who hide in cubicles

Completing  joyless tasks

Bitching and moaning

About nothing or less.

What wonder…

Hope Arrives at Daylight

I walked alone upon a road beside a hill

Where I saw an open grave lying still

All alone beneath a tree, when I came near

The darkness grew, took my sight, left the fear

For there, right there, in front of me

There was my name, inscribed on stone,

          beneath the tree.

Unsure, [...]

Joy Rising

She made sponge cake

Dough rising

Like joy in the afternoon

With smells of flour, eggs, sugar

Lemons, oranges

Apple cake always with cinnamon

Honey, raisins, nuts, and vanilla.

And luscious potato kugel

With onions chopped so fine they were invisible.

There was always food for strangers or dogs

I would bring home.

Travels of a [...]

Kyle Christopher

Thirty thousand feet

Above the ground

The world is whizzing by below

Yet, I’m standing still

At six hundred miles an hour

Above the clouds

Below the sun

Remembering

A few short hours ago

I held you curled

Your tiny face inside my neck

Sheltering you

While you slept

Feeling you

Dream your dreams

Of [...]

Lemons & Honey, Crackers & Tea

We had a tea party, you and I

Yesterday, when March was cold.           

We were three or four again

Five or six or seven.

 

Changed the world

Longing

  Though I’ve worn my heart

Upon my sleeve (and around my knees)

More times than I care to remember

Or talk about in mixed company.

There is that special place I keep for you

Like the bag that’s packed

With brandy colored lipstick, ginger cologne

A little black dress, and cream lingerie

That ignites [...]

Love On Wings

San Xavier Mission by Sara Fryd

I held a mirror up to you

So you could see the fire

You carry deep

The voice you crave to share

With the hunger of years

One cannot retrieve

No matter the longing.

You reversed the mirror for me

So I could visit my own reflection

[...]

Lugubrious

Last Light of Day (c) 2004 by Sara Fryd

Last light of day warms the heart

Like chili stew warms the ribcage

During the early frosts of December nights.

You’ve left to “find yourself,”

Somewhere else

Though not here.

I am lugubriously left

To find your face

Amongst black and whites or sepia [...]

Lunch On Friday

My eyes focused on the second button

        of your blue and white shirt.

Heart don’t stop, lungs breathe

        legs don’t fail me now.

I want to melt into the space

        behind that button.

So wrap your arms around me

        hold me still

        listen to the rhythm of my breathing.

Hear [...]

Oh My

oh my…

to have had the courage

the strength

to follow my heart

my soul

only

when I was eighteen

when the world was new

so full of promise

and I was still

so full of dreams

it hurt to say goodbye…

what fears

give way to regrets

what dreams still refuse to die
