Feeling Dry Docked

Feeling dry docked

Removed from the routine

A jolting change

Seldom so blatantly seen

Gasping for air

A life that may be your own

Ginger movements

Sensitive to a sullen tone

Finding That Smile

Finding that smile
Extraction from the routine
Knowing the fatigue
A surprise seldom seen

But we can be happy
In spite of our stress
A little twirl to start
& then off with your dress!

Sitting Out On The Porch Swing

Sitting out on the porch swing
Skirt spread flat over rocking legs
Exhausted from the daily routine
Tired of sharing life with the dregs
Closing weary eyes to dream again
Imagining a reassuring, masculine form
Knowing this could finally be different
This could be comfort in the coming storm
