eathquake shakes the earth / I jump up and find shelter / we both stop shaking.

eathquake shakes the earth / I jump up and find shelter / we can both now breathe

squash and tomatoes / fresh from my garden tonight / green are my thumbs

order in the court! / justice is being served here / that's the illusion

Stir fried vegetables / brown rice and tropical fruit bowl / one meal, five a day

diverse are the trees / shading my life from hard truths / defenses grow twigs

miner miracles / occur in spite of the odds / never give up hope

battle lines forming / home foreclosures move forward / people vs. banks

zombies walk the streets / wishing they could find succor / may they rest in peace

Full-ish moon looks down / I foolishly look right back / The night's full of fools

sweet tweets whispered low / somehow lost in translation / melancholia

modern relations / all sustained via tweeting / cybernetic love

i dreamt i had no / access to the internet / my dream 'me' panicked

my life is a mess / think i'll have a drink of gin / and catatonic

only difference / between right and wrong is a / matter of degree

mistletoe's hanging / you are nowhere to be found / lips pout prettily

middle-aged lovers / virgins to one another / tweeting sweet nothings

in your company / celebrations have meaning / a party for two

drag of loneliness / during the season of cheer / oxymoronic

fatloss and foodstuffs / inversely proportionate / shrink both for success

tiny white snowflakes / light up the near-twilight sky / like strings of diamonds

gingerbread cookies / warm and brown, sweet and spicy / memories of you

I'm sketching faces / known but locked away in trunks / eidetic memories

soft velvet on skin / a lover's touch tickles my / anticipation

failed resolutions / disappointment in oneself / better not to make them

a year about to die / baby waiting to be born / a circle of life

a coyote howls / spiders walk on the ceiling / just another day

a day full of ones / the first steps of the decade / a babe in the woods

sugar hangover / cravings gnawing at your toes / resolution needed

new moon sleeps under / starless skies lit only by / our humanity

I wait patiently / at the edge of tomorrow / mystery unfolds

sunlight beckons me / cowering under blankets / warmth grows new hands

sun shining on snow / the chipmunk stands on a rock / surveying its world

morning comes softly / on wings fluttering with love / dreams give way to light

time for me to stop / collecting resentments and / gather love instead

the faces of hunger / stare accusingly while I / supersize my meals

a gothic romance / memories of lovers' angst / a moor at midnight

perplexed with my life / suppressed desires ignite / restless emotions

an ice-covered world / frozen limbs hanging low, trees / decapitated

a friend's friend has died / Egypt is falling apart / news hangs heavily

a decision made / she would define her own life / get your own, she says

a vortex at work / artistry in its eddies / love in its whorls

Egyptian heroes / being silenced by their peers / who's the villain now?

Spring peeks out from clouds / mistaking February / for April Fool's Day

brandishing sweet words / gallant friends banish my blues / hugs and kiss returned

his little boy hand / brandished a valentine made / just for me with love

Never say never / there is always one more chance / to say I Love You

i copy your smile / and paste it on my own face / a little white lie

raindrops fall everywhere / washing off Winter's dull brown / tomorrow fresh snow

i sharpen my love / on your image since it is / all I have of you

false advertising / nipped and tucked to Kingdom Come / hiding her heart of gold

snow dusts granite peaks / the promise of Spring retracts / the birds chirp anyway

my sad broken heart / expands with laughter and words / beating rhythms for you

❤ sending sweet nothings / over the airwaves to you / in my thoughts, at least ❤

loyal until the end / but the end happened sooner / than we thought it would

quiet and peaceful / winter's blanket muffles sound / morning meditation

fine, powdery snow / landscape sleeps under its blanket / waiting for rebirth

piles to be sorted through / lists of things to be finished / procrastination
