Amaryllis bloom
bursts forth, fair guide to winter-
dare I follow her?

August 30, 2016

Cool night air signals
autumn skulking back- summer,
distant memory.

August 29, 2016

Tang of salt drying
on our sun baked bodies- I

smile at memory.

August 28, 2016

I start out basking,
then it's suddenly Sunday-
weekends are too short.

August 27, 2016

A day to rest, I
don't want to be disturbed- leave
your calling card. Go!

August 26, 2016

Nothing matters more
in life than love- share it and
your wealth will increase.

August 25, 2016

Place to quietly
ponder life, while the dead sleep-
trees filter sunlight.

August 24, 2016

In noonday sun, parched,
sweaty, I gaze out at view-
reward for the climb.

August 23, 2016

Must believe when sun
sets, it will rise again- if
it doesn't, we're doomed.

August 22, 2016

By my side through thick
and thin- you're my best friend 'cause
you love sleep like me.

August 21, 2016

Weekend warriors
are suckers- sleep's all you should
be banking for week.

August 20, 2016

I'm too busy. I
have great weekend plans- someone
else can help you move.

August 19, 2016

From hill we watch sun
disappear, stagnant summer
air warm- night deepens.

August 18, 2016

Crosses reach for sky,
as dead silence engulfs us-
graveyard in summer.

August 17, 2016

Ocean wraps us in
fluid grasp- some can never
conceive its import.

August 16, 2016

Thought you were welcome
snack, a nightingale- whistling
human hoodwinks me.

August 15, 2016

Some days, sleep's all I
can handle- come join me in
dreamland where all's good.

August 14, 2016

Meditating in
first sun, whiskered Zen master-

the wise learn from cats.

August 13, 2016

So much of a break,
that I need a rest after-
time off is hard work.

August 12, 2016

I seek forgiveness,
for vacationing without
you- cat glares at me.

August 11, 2016

Jet lagged, I scramble
to reach normalcy- laundry
to wash, tea to drink.

August 10, 2016

Hotel to plane to
plane to home- my head spins with
the time I've gained, lost.

August 9, 2016

Eight years travelling
through time and space with you- I'm
still not bored, honey.

August 8, 2016

From our high Gaudi
perch, we view Barcelona's
sights- diverse styles mix.

August 7, 2016

Aimlessly we stroll
narrow streets, gargoyles watch with
stony silence- Spain.

August 6, 2016

Silk scarf flutters in
Monaco's fair breeze- I gaze
out over the sea.

August 5, 2016

Ancient ruins show us
how little we've changed- strolling
through Pompeii's remains.

August 4, 2016

Diving under, I
open my eyes, rays gleam- new
world opens to me.

August 3, 2016

Floating at sea in
a small marine city- ship's
deck becomes our beach.

August 2, 2016

Overheated from
hot Mediterranean
sun, we swim- relief.

August 1, 2016

A beat so deep it
shakes us- Ibiza concert
blows us all away.

July 31, 2016

Take me away to
lands of sand and sea- summer
is waiting out there.
