When A Verse Tells A Tale
dear john letter
caught in the railing
icy water below
relationships
Eavesdropping

he’s on the phone
begging her to listen
I shouldn’t eavesdrop
My mind goes back to one dark night when I was in my teens, observing a young man having an earnest conversation with his significant other, wondering how the story would end.
One Last Time
in the twilight
Grandma folds her tired hands
one last time
Novel
paperback novel
once more he tells her
her relatives are strange
Love Potion
I have tasted
the medicine of regret
a unique love potion
Frost
frosty today
the lines between us
whited out
First Meal
the newlyweds’ first meal
chicken tenders
and tater tots
My response to the Ragtag daily prompt: TENDER
Together
newlyweds wander
on the beach at low tide
send them gentle waves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
two lovers stroll by
their shadows on the path
inseparable
Lost Dreams
she tastes in her tears
the brine of the sea
swallowing her dreams
Compassion
When I cried alone
in the darkness of my night
You called my name
