WrittenRiver: flirt with me

like glossy poster print

like pictures on the internet

like the crinkle of a lottery ticket

in lazy Sunday morning mumbled musings 

you flirt with me painting a future lurid and loud

as though we were not destined for the mushroom cloud

WrittenRiver: photo prompt

crown of thorny light
electric brambles envelope
veiled not w/ sleep
still eyes cannot see
blinded by the net
she's caught in

Written River: we gaze

into empty air
into the abyss
into each crease and wrinkle
of our fingerprints
before we glance
at each other askance
we gaze
anywhere anywhere anywhere
but this
the space between
rejection and a kiss

WrittenRiver prompt: delicate temptation

i nestle into the deliciousness

marvel at toothsome eyes 

of robin's egg blue

above a beard sugar-spun 

into bird nest confection

and glutton that I am I

I anticipate the feast of

a mouth watering future sweet 

as the delicate temptation

of a marshmallow fledgling peep

leaping over a chocolate precipice into 

my confitured candyland dreams of you
