Eclipse
By: Pamela Rossow
It was not enough to be
drenched in your sun
showers to have your
fingers trail moonlight
through my hair for your
blazing lips to lock noon
heat between us.
I needed more than
galaxies between my
thighs daybreaks in
your smiles starlight
in your eyes I tasted
forever on your tongue
heard always in your
heartbeat outlined we
on your chest.
It was enough to be cast
in shadow to have my
sundial blotted out by your
clouds to see the negligible
pebbles in the hourglass to
know the darkened cemetery
in your mouth was too much.
Pamela Rossow is a writer who defies some of what that term implies: she does not own a cat, she likes to talk, she enjoys some stories that begin with, “On a dark and stormy night…”, and drinks chai. She does, however, find words like “beguile,” “inky” and “fizzle” intriguing. She holds a BA from Florida Atlantic University and has been published in a variety of genres online and in print.
Wellsprings of Happiness
By Dennis S Martin
Bubbling up,
Trickling down,
Springing from somewhere
Deep underground.
Growing in strength,
Merging in flow,
Gravity dictating
Where you will go.
Soothing the sorrow,
Easing the pain,
Cooling the swelter
Like sweet summer rain.
Endlessly moving,
Cannot be still,
Dreams to fruition,
Fortunes to fill.
Hope to deliver,
Laughter to deal.
Wellsprings of happiness,
Help me to heal.
