Poem: Family Bonds

Wasting 
valuable
and finite time,
arguing it away,
is no way
to spend today.
No one knows
what tomorrow brings -
Yet grudges 
and feuds
have no place.
Leave the past
in the past -
Where it belongs.
Siblings,
drive you
crazy;
Parents,
don't understand -
Yet they do.
Bound together,
through
the better
and worse
of one another.
Selfless
and long suffering
bonds -
Seal
family together.

Poem: Smokey Laughter

Raven haired
Latin beauty -
As smart
as she
is sexy.
Tongue tied
and nervous
from across
the room.
Willingly
cornered,
she makes
conversation.
Sitting on
the curb,
on a sultry
Summer dusk:
Rainbow eyes
glimmer;
A
disengaging
smile;
Smokey laughter,
audible massage -
Soothing.
and melting.
