I woke
among flowers
in full bloom.
Yet soon
I knew
it was only a dream.
Still
a lingering fragrance
brushed softly past.
Leaving only
a distant presence,
I remain
in the sweetness
of that fading dream.

moon blooms full in a
field of indigo dotted
with stars like eyes of
all the animals
who wake at night; and all dark
things with wings take flight

rest assured
my dearest
I adore you
more and more
with each
passing year
I'm making
new ways
to express
my love
as I whisper
your name
like a secret
prayer into
the curious
Eastern wind —
particles of passion
flying around
the globe until
they reach
my heart
again

communal radio
bodies rest
as minds keep
dancing along
shared frequencies
symphonic choruses
merge into ethereal
bliss notes tickling
his amygdala
dawn's happening
and he wraps himself
in a deeper shade
of kinship

My poem called At The End of the Day. … Chirping birds greet my mornings, much to my dismay. I head to work, on another unassuming day. That’s it. I don’t really like work days, but it’s something that needs to be done. But there is one thing I like. At the end of the day, the train I’m taking back home… leads me to you once more.
I’ll be having a bone marrow biopsy in a few days, so I probably won’t post until Wednesday… or post a day earlier on Monday.

The picture I took of the moon between the wires…
things break
with time
become beautiful
this beauty is
the breathing

Dawg is a free‑verse poem by Lesley Scoble, inspired by the raw power and unruly charm of an American bulldog who likes to scream.

(Photo from Recipe.com) - Venison stew in a white pot with carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery in dark broth, sprinkled with a variety of "green" spices.
making venison stew again
usually
it’s red wine
dark familiar
today
brown ale instead
Smithwick’s
had forgotten
how much I love
that quiet malt warmth
venison
onions
soft bitterness of hops
some flavors
don’t argue
they simply remember

purple gusts blow
my hopes into
early spring storms
petals dancing
circles across
my skin
within my silence
I find a new name
for spring

I have helped old people cross roads,
Now it's me who needs a hand.
So please don't patronise me;
Help me. Thank you.

Roses bloomed?
Violets still closed?
Flowers,
Standing with swollen buds,
Tossed beyond the shadows,
Yet waiting—
For the moment a blossom opens.

FICTION
Sometimes I make stuff up—
pretend a being into being,
give it a face, a name,
something to overcome.
I fabricate a life on paper.
But the character is shallow,
so I flay a piece of my flesh
and scribe it to the page.

In the darkness ahead,
a small flame flickers uncertainly.
Who will guide my trembling hand?
I remember your face,
and step by hesitant step I move forward.
Surely a moment of rest will come,
and the light will find me.

unsolicited daydreams
of a world negating cruelty
shifting kindness onto
a deeper frequency listened to
by all, not just the sensitive
hummingbirds' song that
endures without measure

taking score
unkempt hair
unspent words
challenges
giving up on
the rat race
brave little cog
catching rust
like the waves
catch shells
she rather adorns
herself — another
layer of patina
than allowing the
machine to
squander her
potential
#freeverse #emoetry #poetry overworked
put himself
into a corner
folded walls like
origami castles
pretence faltered
when understanding
bloomed
self-made illusions
caught fire
clarity came
