scents and textures
clamor for attention
on a busy street
your eyes
seize my heart

scents and textures
clamor for attention
on a busy street
your eyes
seize my heart
(personal photo)
remember when
there were only shrubs and grass
no wooden barrier-
the fence between us
went up so fast
(personal photo)
bedside words
shine in soft light
near your warm body
stories float
into my dreams
(personal photo)
graffiti scars rocks-
her hands clasp a bulging belly
a baby waits,
I want to show her a path
without spray paint
(personal photo)
covers pull back
expose her bare toes
she holds her breath
until the moment
he teaches her to walk
with a rapid rhythm
where trees grow tall
we walk and talk-
blue sky and sunshine
bring out the best in you

(personal photo)
today I see
where you once tread
grass no longer grows,
your footprints locked in stone-
I want to follow

(personal photo)
I look ahead
at a fork in the road
a choice I must make
either one
leads away from you
