Originally posted Sept. 28th, 2022 Ships All of our lives, we hear sayings. Some we understand. Other soar over our heads. Their meanings lost in the clouds. I have heard the phrase “two ships passing in the night” many times during my life. I’m sure I will hear it many more. This is the firstContinue reading “Ships”

Coreopsis 7-b
They walked away from the vender. Orion took her hand, guiding it to his nose. He took a deep breath. It smelt the same as the perfume he had sprayed on the back of her neck. “What do you smell?” He continued walking. A white cape caught his attention. She lost sightContinue reading “Coreopsis 7-b”
Ache
Honestly, I’m not THAT old. My neck is stiff. My back groans. My legs are tired. Skinned dried out from winter blues. My eye lids are heavy. Work coffee! Work! That’s not a hot air balloon. It’s just my head. My sinuses bleed. My eyes are watering. Can’t kill the ringing in my ear! Moan!Continue reading “Ache”
Secrets
Do you have a secret? I do. Don’t share it frequent. Your secret? Nothing you want to share? Good. Let’s not cause another scare. It’s a secret just the same. That shouldn’t cause shame. Shared it once. But got a shocked reply. No. Not you. Couldn’t be. Tell me it’s not true! Shared it twice,Continue reading “Secrets”
Coreopsis 7-a
Sarah stretched awake. “Good morning,” Orion smiled. She sat up whimpering, rubbing her lower back. “Ow.” “Too hard?” “Yes.” “They never bother me.” She stood up doing some stretches to work out the knot inContinue reading “Coreopsis 7-a”
One candle
It has never been this cold. Though, I can’t see my breath as in stories of old. The coat clinging to my back; in one piece around my torso, is full of cracks. Has my god completely abandoned me? Was my religion a hoax? Alone I sit, on the cold pew. Screaming at God untilContinue reading “One candle”
Coreopsis 6-e
“You were right in your assumption,” she spoke louder so he could hear her. “Never?” “No.” “I envy you.” He drew a sharp breath as the cold water caressed his face. “You know nothing about my personal life, don’t envy me.” “You have freedom.” He reached out and touchedContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-e”
The chase
Big black dog, nipping at my heals. I know you. You chase me. Bite me. Catch me. Smother me. Your weight is more than I can bare. We fight. Wrestle. I run. You chase. I hide. You sniff me out. If I’m inside, you’re outside. If I’m outside; you’re inside, waiting to pounce. Big blackContinue reading “The chase”
Coreopsis 6-d
Orion was lying on his side, staring at her. She had the most adorable round face, with a playful little chin. “What?” She asked with her nose still buried in her book. When he didn’t answer, she looked up. He was breathing heavily, “Orion?” “Nothing,” he thought for a moment. “What colorContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-d”
Coreopsis 6-c
Sarah studied Orion’s face as he stared at his glass of wine. He didn’t look happy at all. There were no little laugh lines around his mouth or eyes. The flesh around his eyes looked dark and sunk in. He reminded her of a sack of bones. Every time he moved it seemed toContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-c”
