Match - by Debbie

You claim the heat of passion
but I fear I can't admire
your shocking lack of fashion
& how you set my house afire.

==================================

Many thanks to Rand for being so patient with my lack of posts lately! Going to try catching up today. Setting my iPad timer to 5 minutes for each. Also excited to see that people are starting to post poems...yay!

Kiss - by Debbie

No fireworks explode
No bands play
No Cupids hover
as they did in the beginning

and yet

when we kiss

the joy wraps around us,
and holds us fast.

Nothing else matters:
not the fireworks
the bands
the fat flying cherubs.

You are the truth of me, my love.

Core - by Debbie

You carved away
flesh and guile
to see what lay
beneath my skin.
I thought you'd run
but you just smiled,
waiting for me
to let you in.
