Serious or Goofy Poem

It's National Poetry Month


Delusion

dry
and tan
endless sand

salt
on my lips
a painful kiss

burnt
from the inside
drowning in low tide

stop
why fight
misconception in spite

lost
within me
your void, my desert sea


Difficult Choice

The purple highlighter or the blue?
What’s the difference?
If you only knew

Why not ask ~ the bison or the hen?
Even upside down
Truth inks from my pen.


     The Purple

     In the purple
     once was I
     on a hilltop  
     kissing the sky

     Somehow I fell
     back in the now
     I’ll search forever
     till I have found

     That sweetest spot
     where warm snow falls
     rest my head on a cloud
  the purple calls
