light fabric
airy flow
supporting
just a little
too low
encouraging
staring looks
peeking into
all the hidden
nooks
low set pants
revealing
the crack
at the front
potato sack
confidence
oozing from
every cavity
definition of
gravity

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Date’
first encounter
succinct introduction
promise of more
all arranged
high hopes
will this be the one
at the table now
one talking
the other nodding
until the topic
of procreation
suddenly a pause
a blush of uncertainty
human kids will not be
on the agenda
no rejection
no prejudice
relief and ease
childfree for life
made by choice
not by circumstance
date that turned into
lifelong companionship
unencumbered
MIDDAY POETRY – ‘On Board’
the ship docked in harbor
the placid water held it afloat
all the passengers disembarked
towards new adventures
on the paradise island
only the crew remained
resting after the hard work
then slowly preparing
for the return journey
and the buzz of people
once back on board
new food supply was loaded
fresh water delivered
the floors got scrubbed
the cabins freshened
passengers started to arrive
broad smiles and sun tanned
the weather was fine
sun filled fluffy clouds
light breeze moving the air
the perfect day on the water
when one is happy to just be
while enjoying life in motion

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Hesitant Kiss’
the sun opened each wild flower
caressing her soft petals gently
the breeze stroked all the leaves
bending the long growing grass
it was a day with not a cloud in sight
walking across the bridge hand in hand
into the fields of golden light
their touch invisible to the naked eye
their journey together was near the end
spontaneously lifting her black veil
showing an empty space
then a hesitant kiss
the sudden darkness
remembering her duties
he followed into the field
never to return
alive
