Bishop's Quarter Beach

life is in the detours
in the moments out of reach
as we drive down winding lane
to Bishop's Quarter Beach
the waves and wind a chorus
round stones beneath our feet
two riders pass on horseback
as if to set the scene complete
and you were there and I
and the riders passing by
but all that lay beyond was gone
the world of everyday no more
forgotten in a moment
on a storm-tossed empty shore
I reached down just then
and picked a pebble
a memory for my pocket
so someday I'll feel its weight
and close my eyes
to see the shore again
and walk it

Jeanette's Rose


as from earth
so from her pen
doth sprout
the imperious beauty
of a rose

a feast of glory
for the eyes
but sadly
not the nose

inkspired 2 : Incantation


In case you missed my post from last week, the amazing JeanetteAndrome, creator extraordinaire, has started a daily sketch project.  

I used today's to write a new poem:

Safe inside the circle 
 now the candles lit 
anticipation rising 
she shivers just a bit 
before she says aloud the name of one 
whom she only kind of hopes will come.
