You are
the catch in my breath
as I whisper
your name
You are
the stars
in my musings
the longing
in my nights
the dreams
of my heart
the smile
on my lips
You are
the tomorrow
in my eyes
Tomorrow and
tomorrow
You are

#NaPoWriMo-Day 16-A Fool I Will Remain
I’m a fool
My judgement
takes wing
old habits return
when I think
of walking away
you’re as much
a part of me
as breathing
you intoxicate
beguile
and infuriate me
you’re ambrosia
and poison
redeemer and
captor
a fool
I will remain

#NaPoWriMo-Day 15-Memories and Wishes
I keep my memories
and wishes
tucked inside a box The vessel unimportant Its what’s inside the box that calls to me Inside I hear the beating of your heart smell your skin and taste your lips you
now on wingtips
left behind memories
nestled beside wishes Copyright © 2021 Penny Wilson
#NaPoWriMo-Day 12-Your Words
They’re not
just pretty words
Your words
are a melody
or a fragrance
on the breeze
Your words
set me free
so I can dance
with the sea
or ride wild dragons
Your words
transport me
magically
And I go
willingly
eagerly
because I know
that what awaits
will be the magic
promised through
your words

#NaPoWriMo – Day 9-A Few Simple Lines
It’s nothing but
a few simple lines
Words you’ve
strung together
They seem innocent
without depth
to the non-discerning
eye
But to me
you have painted
a tapestry
a masterpiece
for the senses
With your words
I experience
your world
The textures and
colors come to life
The words
are transformed
into your voice
your whispers
and yes
even your touch
With a few simple lines

#NaPoWriMo -Day 7-Time Well Wasted

#NaPoWriMo Day 6-Empty Spaces
those places in my heart the empty spaces I look beyond the clutter of today sifting yesterday's dreams those never quite formed looking to make solid what was but mist Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson

Telling My Secrets to the Stars

I awoke
with a start.
The taste
of your kiss
still lingering
on my lips.
For answers
I look
to the night sky,
telling my secrets
to the stars.
The man in the moon
listens
but offers
no guidance.
