Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

For Kristin – Happy Anniversary
Love Journey – Marker 19
In a spell of romance
the moon lights the edges
of stories yet to unfold.
Hand in hand we walk across
fervor stones. Faith unites
and swaddles us in love.
Day turns to decade
and beyond. Our journey
extends across a scenic path
of wonders and delights.
Two hearts fuse by intuit and soul.
Safe to explore the possibilities
of a world where tulips cup
golden moments for us to drink
as tea. The moon cradles our intimacy
and affection follows us through
the doorway at dawn.
Beautiful,wishing you both a happy anniversary!
Thank you Ayala!
