(No title yet)
In sunset glow and haze of red
Two figures stand inside my head
Some visions dreamed and meant to be
Are etched in mind immortally
I stood a moment, watching there
Then saw him stroke her snow-kissed hair
She clutched him fast in black-gloved arms
And he seemed to marvel at new charms
Such sweetness sparked, it made me ache
A trail of tears dropped in my wake
The pain of loneliness I knew
Was salved in seeing love light true
And still they stand, a mystery
This poignant wonder of memory
My heart remains a bitter piece
But in that sight was hope, at least.
And now, to ruin the mood created by that poem: Stupid Toad Haiku.
Watching X-Men film
Green guy extends endless tongue
Will you marry me?
Suddenly I see
Amphibians are lovely
Why never before?
Weather witch hungry
Lightning zaps sumptuous Toad
Damn her, fried frog legs!
Man who climbs on walls
Dextrous with mouth appendage
Great fun at parties.
I don't mind your height
Short has its advantages
Not that you need them.
Piggy-back jump ride
Better than a trampoline
Eeek! Lily-pads sink!
Sweet, agile Toad-boy
Will you never come to me?
Love sees more than warts.
