Wind Chimes

,

A wind chime,
That plays a Gregorian scale,
With deep bass notes,
Rich, round baritone,
Alto for balance,
And sparkling soprano notes,
To hang outside my front door,
Crucial to Feng Shui chi,
Health and happiness,
Entering my home
For this New Year.

A Slip of the Tongue

He wanted to ask her out on a date…
So his head was full of ideas.
Outside, under that neon sign
To the Blackly Hotel?
Or around the corner
Over on Broadway
At that little cafe?
What he actually said
Came out as gobbledegook
So she asked him,
“Are you trying to preposition me?”

All In

Tags

I’m all in.
Not defeated, exhausted,
Flat on the floor,
But
Totally devoted to you.

I’m all in.
Not desperately or hopefully
Gambling my chips on one hand,
But
Joyfully investing in you.

I’m all in.
Not inside you,
To the exclusion of all else,
But
Completely supportive of you.

I’m all in,
Not over-confident,
Or bluffing,
But
Openly opening my heart.

I’m all in,
Not sure I deserve it,
Or am half the person you are,
But
I am fully committed to you.

A Bend in The Road

Tags

,

It’s not the end of the road,
It’s just a bend in the road,
And, although I can’t see around the corner,
And do not know what’s coming,
If I have the courage
To round that curve
It may lead somewhere unexpected,
To an exciting future
Unless I fail to make the turn.
