A Gated Limerick

a gal with a very full plate
decided to leave love to fate
she had a ten year plan
and a sexy pool-man
at her house on the hill upstate

3 Word Wednesday-  downhill/ freak/ sliver

The Faintest Flicker

sitting across from you 
I struggle to control the beast
inside of me..

I want to scream and yell
that this is not all that there is..

I want to lecture about freaks
and downhill spirals and blessings
that take ballet and learn to play the organ..

but for the life of me I can not choke
the joy that I see in your eyes..
and for just one second .. I too 
caress a sliver of hope...

your sadness in a graveyard or
garden that waits for the spring
to wake from its sleep and
burst into green. "

Duties

carefully folded
she scrubs floors with tattered rags ~
sandalwood smolders

slave to his passions ~ 
beneath her silken sari
burning hatred grows
