Can’t Elope

Last night’s moon was melon lush
with just a hint of haze
making spongy clarity
shine

and two stars hung, south to north
around that almost-gold-hung light ~

a linear line of sun
was hanging slightly
yet still, just before her fall
off the horizon

when neighbor’s starry windows
started to peak.

~*~

I turned to you,
on that day,
a depth of well
what now

while eyes were misting,
not because
allergies resplendent
hung with the ragweed and
thistledown…

but maybe, that seasonal
emotion

that plays strings
and tempest
and heart’s accord…

as some buzz of life sings within
the summer sin
of grasses, skies,
watching time.

A hint of humor in a wash of romance. A tender touch from a sentimental heart. It can't get better than that. Nice to meet you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

stolen melons
are always sweater

used to hop the fence and get
cantaloupes and honey dews

they were so much better
than those that grew
in my yard

good to see you post again,
I knew that when I did I would
love your words.
