Poetry Day or spare thoughts on a cold day.

What I wish it looked like outside right now, but sadly, does not.

     
   
         Poem # 1

          Secretly longing

          For soft talk

          In the night

          Or

          Early morning

          Only
          If it is still dark.

Water color paintings I have done to chase away the winter.

          Hoping to 

          Find a landing strip

          That does not strip

          Me cold.

 Poem #2

(For Claudia)

Her quiet smile

Wraps around those she loves

Anticipating their anguish.

Sitting in the far corner 

Quietly controlling

With understatement

The room.

She applies balm

From

Her brush with life

Painting a way out.
