Naught without You

And what about you, do you bear a share? Question yourself… What could you do, To be the game changer, to help another. What have you done, To lend to the problem, to make it worse. What was your part, To contribute to sorrow, to add into happiness. What have you given, To ease a […]

Entanglement

Reading what is not written as though printed text on page, yet invisible she nudges his arm ever so gently without sound, knowing he understands. Hearing what is not spoken as though shouted out loud, yet silent he winks catching her glance ever so briefly, she casts a wink of agreement. Touching what is not […]

Stalemate

A chess game and I am naught but rook …..without an evasive move to take Many other games over which to look …..yet no prevailing move to make A chess game played over so many years …..never having ended holding check Many pieces captured given through tears …..many battles waged leaving me weak A chess […]

Awash in Autumn

Awash in grey the murky dawn moves in, as though widow who weaps for lost loves her mood dusted in darkness heavy and hard. Awash in grey the afternoon sun arches up, as though bulb drawn and dim over weary time his radiance silenced and squelched wistful and worn. Awash in grey the evening falls […]

I wish

For today, I wish nothing more than to feel your love. For tomorrow, I wish nothing less than to keep our love. For eternity, I wish nothing other than i wished yesterday. Karen Quinn 1990 (again early stuff revised)

Ocean’s tide

Our love echos ….the oceans tide ……..wave after wave ………..caressing the shore ………….rough in storm ……………gentle in sunshine ……………..always renewing cycle ………………..never ending rhythm ……………………it continues relentlessly ………………………renewing itself forever. Karen Quinn 2013

Deepest Forest

Lost in deepest forest …..wandering without direction …..not knowing which turn to take …..each path threatening deception Lost in deepest forest …..light obscured by wooded veil …..the path darkens as evening falls …..shrouding any truth beyond the pall Lost in deepest forest …..hearing each sound with concern …..they are not what they seemed to be […]

The Growing

Planted side by side by happenstance not a vast great plan, rather naught more than coincidence the seeds were scattered and blown by wind and ours grew roots not wings. Individuals Planted side by side growing begun fed by struggle and laughter, watered by occasional salty tear fragile shoots stretching toward heaven side by side […]

The Winning

the point waits to be won ball served, lobbed at the net – with force flying full of backspin yet seems so simple yet the return of the serve begins the battle the point waits to be won ball returned, with forceful blow – arcing flying full force its target nervous but ready so easy […]

Echo

The depth and cadence of this rhythm that circles my heart and soul cannot be escaped or ignored relentless as the bells that toll   The power and strength of this force that pushes my life wearying my limbs cannot be escaped or ignored frightening as it plays out its whims   The height and […]
