fairies play music on silken threads left by tiny worms
a child somewhere dreams of dancing on her tippy toes
lonely is the haunting sound of the saxophone
a grandmother holds her daughter’s child the first time
tears leave a salty trail on beautiful black skin
red and orange waltz across the sky, dancing into a sunset
on her wedding night, a newlywed quivers, waiting in white silk
tender touches fuel the nocturnal with a smiling blue moon
naked is the face of life, when seen with loving eyes
The imagery here is sublime and the entire composition is well paced and beautifully lyrical. The absence of connective phrases between the lines keeps this crisp and still wonderfully connected. Well done, Jonikins! One of my favorites!

Oh thank you my dear Button.
I am glad you liked that line – I did too. There are no mask changing who we want the world to see, or for us to hide behind, for love sees beyond our scars, weaknesses and sees only that love (pure).
Spending time submitting new poems to several places. Hope life is being kind to you with your crazy schedule.
Be blessed my dearest Button. Sending you love and hugs back.
Yours
Honeybun
