Has seen the summer passing.

Two flowers beside each other,
Without words or needs,
Swaying in the same breeze,
Shaded by the same clouds,
Glowing under the same sun— Continue reading “Simple Companionship”

Her wings askew
Like petals gold
The fairy’s flight
From love withheld
Freezes her
Statue still; statue cold
Yet spring’s delight
Warm sap like blood
Enlivens her Continue reading “The Fairy Flower”

Like three crones share one eye.

Like Perseus stole the eye,
And your treasure,
The roses will become. Continue reading “The Gorgon Flower”
With a Battle Axe!

December, 2000
Steve does not believe I could kill him unarmed!

He thinks he could outrun a velociraptor.
You can’t outrun a velociraptor.

The emptiness she left behind was like a giant chasm. The tenuous bridge she had provided, crumbled away, leaving them with a gulf of silence. Continue reading “Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 24: Earth”
Hidden Love

When the trees hold the moon
In their branches
At night
Twigs becomes fingers
In mere phantom touches
Their caresses reluctant
For what if the moon saw their love?
What if the moon didn’t requite?

A ruffled dress,
Faeries flight,
Under the sun’s caress.
Flower or fae,

Open and vulnerable
