Recycled, Re-Used, Re-Purposed

recycled passages
torn from fragile pages
a history in parchment
flaking and handled
over and over
by avid and bored alike
=====
re-used emotions
whispering in the heart
filling gaps of loneliness
tempering in steamy clouds
the raw and capable
instigating choices
=====
re-purposed livelihood
skitters on the frying pan
tickling the temple
exciting like new blood
surging through veins
of loveliness and grace

Tracings

Tracing the edges of feelings
Elusive, they hide
 in the midst of
convenient thoughts
Tracings 
like finger drawn messages
on steamed up glass…

Love Remembers

Falling from pensive lips
the words splattered
on cheeks crimsoned
by embarrassment
Thoughtlessly thoughtful
sentences and deeds
oft times awaken
deeper feelings
All in all, beneath it all
Love shines still

Remembering, remembered
