The Paperback

She loved to read thrillers in the

safety of her warm bed. The cashmere

throw purred on her lap like an orange

tabby while her fingers stroked the

virgin paper. The paperback held endless

possibilities; she felt the excitement

building up into goose bumps. The curious

moon stepped on top of a cloud, trying

to get a better view between slats of

vinyl shades; they thought him rude, a

voyeur, invading their personal space.

This was a private show and he wasn't

invited. Page after page, she turned her

fears into aphrodisiacs, swallowing them

whole until she was full. Never feeling

the ache that throbbed in her heart.

Evenfall

In this lazy hour
of winding down
my breath rests on
pillows of evenfall
where dreams of
feathered words
take flight.

Peacock hues
strut their beauty
against a backdrop
of envious stars
gathering
like golden trinkets
in a music box sky

where an orchestra
accompanies the
enchanted flight
serenading the milky way
with heartfelt notes
book marking poems
in history's memory.
