new baby

a fantastic feeling
envelops my whole soul

like love but bigger
and greater
and more impossibly tremendous
than the largest galaxy

it has grown so much
and moves and grows
and i wonder what
it thinks and knows

it's inside
and it will hide
for two more weeks
until it seeks

out its space
its new room
its own place
to grow

to bloom

Moodiness

watching you and
only seeing
feelings fade
into the glum
and gloom of
winter's blue, blue
cold snowfall
like your fallen face

drooping down
like a snowflakes
in an unrecognizable shape

not beautiful
or original

falling, falling
frightful, falling

your transient smile,
fleets away, flippant,
with its tedious corners
turned up with
a severe purpose
that cannot hold

lost grace

lost grace abounds
many roam the streets
in pajamas
mouths open
cell phones on speaker
in front of their
wide-eyed
staring faces
blindly bumping
each other
no apologies
confused and dizzy
stares
into nowhere

the slowest days

i wish for spring's graces
a light, small-sized
sundress
a crisp glass of white wine
with a hint of grapefruit

an outdoors lunch of sushi
and seaweed under the
sun-drenched blue sky

sandals and painted toes

a vigorous run through
spring's slightly shaded sun

three more weeks
filled with a longing to see
this beautiful being
growing in me

oh, winter

the dissonance of the broken melody
surrounds the wilted flower
drained  by winter's frost - amidst
the cold, quiet melancholy
that speaks to no one
