Blue can be found in the sky When the sea sprinkles her reflection From her mirror peeking so high Portraying her many shades of seduction Navy is another shade Gentle, proud, a ribbon of gold Out of blue this color is made Of war, of peace, of love stories told Twice she was stolen Once […]

Hope is a new book with blank pages Write a story, rock solid Maybe it’ll earn you wages Arouse every dream that’s gone flaccid Make a mark that’d stick for ages Against the harsh or humid Live through the pages of time Lend a hand, maybe a dime Rise, stand again, reach your prime Hope […]

I see your dim-eyed children potbellied with lust. I see your dumb-doubting fathers resting shoulders on blaring creeks. Our hairs were at home, who brought out a comb?

Beneath the mistletoe, Imprints that stole quick kisses. Toes lined up a few inches. Jingling bells quake to shake hands Where this perfect wreath still stands. Beneath the mistletoe, Love once died under this oak. Life, sapped, a suicidal yoke. Red and green this too will be. Led to drown under the sea. Vera ==================================== […]
