White Goddess

We move
with the rhythm
of the sea, tumbling
as it peaks...endlessly falling
in waves.

Bella Rosa *

Against
bare skin a silk
kimono, draped loosely.
One by one, each petal falling...
open.

                        * Bella Rosa: Italian for "beautiful rose" -
                            also the botanical and common name of a variety of rose.

Dreams of the Innocents

Scattered
through azure blue
a slur of white cloud trails...
as if spirit swept her brush through
the sky.
