Chafe
Like a
wool sweater
thoughts
scratch my mind
itchy
memories
chafe
'til they bleed

Cinched
Cinched
Somethings
are forgotten
that
shouldn't be
ignorance
is a stern instructor
sometimes
it means a face plant
How to
cinch a saddle
lesson
that must be learned
applies
to many things
resistance
puffs up
Think
things are tight
when
boot reaches for stirrup
saddle
slips under foot
horse
spooks
Wonder
how ended up on the ground
wind
knocked out of ya
dust
self off and discover
what
thought was tight is really loose

Love
Love
Flush
cheeks kissed
by
winter zephyr
snow
skiffs about boots
prairie's
bent low
Brace
against the bitterness
lungs
remember frosty atmosphere
soaks
into pores and fiber
pace
quickens 'til turn leeward

Ripples
Ripples
What if we could see
our presence ripple
Through the atmosphere
as a ship upon the sea
My ripples brushing against yours
warmth of your passing wave
Yet again ripples upon another
pass silently under pale light of a lover's moon
Wake merges with others
travelers plying seasonal trade winds
Spirit blows life into soul
sailing through life's salty brine

Joy
Joy
Union
celebration of us
soul smiles
Heart
still longs
to know you
Journey
many tears
many smiles
Heart
still longs
to know you
Endurance
not for faint of heart
willing surrender
Exploration
merging into us
after 31 years

Pulse
Where our sins are forgiven
freedom emminates
As pulses of heart throb
in each other's veins

Perhaps a building block for a longer poem.
