Your Eyes

when, I look into your eyes, I am drawn into your world where, contentment and love never expire where, our children always remain children locked in your loving arms where, only beauty exists imperfections not allowed when, I look into your face, I see all your eyes portray and, know why I love you daily, I look into your eyes, the light of my world

The Librocubicularist

as the sun sets, and the light recedes, a wonderful dinner sets the stage in gleeful anticipation of the comfort of his bed, the Librocubicularist turns on the light, gets comfortable, enjoys the delights offered this night eventually, falling asleep relives the adventure of what he has read Mac McGovern©2020

Librocubicularist—a person who reads in bed.

I close my eyes to visualize My Lord and Savior

I do not see a face no picture exists unknown what he looks like

when I close my eyes I see shadows none define I know, My Lord and Savior is somewhere beyond I pray, “Our Father” I talk to Him hoping He will materialize

Awaiting Judgement

life, recently expired wrapped in a web of remembrance, she feels the pain of her deceit.

wishing she had been more a believer of her souls salvation, instead only of her love of life.

she agonizes, her fate, yet undetermined.

she awaits judgement.

a push button on the wall off and on

eager little fingers a cord without a bulb curiosity their demise enter into the socket receive unanticipated shock retract with lightning speed

Since First I Saw You

Since First I Saw You

Since First I Saw You

  Since first I saw you, it was your eyes, mesmerizing me, your gaze transporting me to a realm, not of fantasy, real, where young men go when cupid’s arrow takes root. Since first I saw you, it was your lips, captivating me, holding me frozen in anticipation of our lips brushing for the first time. Since first I saw you, it was your voice, a crescendo, light, invigorating, each word you speak…
