Fiery Skies

FIRESTORMS

moonlight picnics
on the beach
cosy chats by fireside

an oath before you kiss
a ring before you commit
ready for firecrackers…

provocations - a way of life
verbal duels welcome
-you loves fireballs

sneaky lies here and there
struggle to find your space
-you work at fireproofing

watch the stars alone at night
think of all that’s not right
-you spend life firefighting

STARRY SKIES

walking along the beach
I long for stars beneath my feet
find starfish

I chase wealth, fame
want the moon on my face
with sprinkled stardust

I want a goddess
to illuminate life
not just a starlet

One step ahead, two backwards
I struggle to find my way
Fascinated by stardom

I want to accept defeat
return home…then think
skies are dark, but  star-spangled
