Gentle Reflections 

Laying in bed

Thinking deep thoughts

Lest my brain rots

Much on my mind.

–

Resting my head

No haves or nots

Know I have lots

It’s all defined.

–

Lightly I tread

Not tied in knots

Or worried plots

Only unwind…

Writing in the Darkness

Laying in bed, it’s dark and day 

The blackout curtains gently sway.

–

Writing many works to blog one day soon

It’s dark and quite cool in my hotel room.

–

Beside me she sleeps and gently snores 

As poetry floods my mind more and more. 

–

I can’t type fast enough my fat finger foes 

Clunking on my iPhone as I write my prose.

–

Saturday morning, nearly afternoon

Vacation nearly over, homeward bound soon.

–

Gentle sighs as she happily dreams 

Of times that are as blissful, like now as it seems.

–

Temperature, the story of old 

Pulling up the covers as I get cold.

–

Nearly finished now, nine poems in two hours

They’re flowing sweetly like fresh cut flowers. 

–

Feeling I know myself much more

Gazing at beauty, as she softly snores. 

–

I won’t wake her as I write 

Letting her rest on this day of night…
