poetry Haiku by Gerald Starlight Roosevelt Island, NY May these words of love Upon this written page Find your heart within - Dreamland by Cynthia M. Phillips Springfield Gardens, NY Sleeping deeply, Lost in dreamland. Soothed by the sound~ Of your soft breathing, Escaping from your lips. Sighing poems, to the music of Once Upon A Time. Whispers to my shy heart. Previously unknown Now known, Each night in your arms. - Forgive by Cynthia M. Phillips Springfield Gardens, NY I Prefer to release threads of forgiveness and live in the Joy, of unfettered Love. - Old Tune by Ruth Sabath Rosenthal New York City Once, the child’s heart beat the drum, the mother’s the cymbal. They’d sung and danced, innocent of what was to come between them – dissonance. Steel against stone. - Catch-Up by Ruth Sabath Rosenthal New York City My grandson brandishes his Lego sword, and in seconds we’re overboard – cutthroat pirate and armored knight drowning in an ocean of black oilcloth thrown over an end table. In no time, I drift back to my son’s childhood years I’d missed. While he, a father alone for the day, catches up away from his son. Mid the drama, high-sea, my grandson announces he’s hungry. He wants fish sticks and chips with ketchup, TV – his pick of villains and super heroes. I give him just what he wants. He gives me a hug, says he doesn’t want to go home where no mother lives.
