campfire flames kiss the night
stars in distant skies blaze bright
ghost story whispers all affright
rustling sounds just out of sight
—Terri Guillemets
poems
Excite
Lightning dances —
Thunder applauds her!
—Terri Guillemets
Close quarters & distant dreams
in good times and in bad
’til death do us part
isn’t just for marriage —
but family too — lifelong vows
coursing through our blood
—Terri Guillemets
X
life is a treasure map
and also the treasure
—Terri Guillemets
Cracked
her head was cracked —
not tragically, just poetically
it’s how the poems got in —
and out
—Terri Guillemets
Inkdreaming
the smell of ink is
intoxicating to me —
others may have wine
but I have poetry
—Terri Guillemets
Insomniacaholic
I’m an insomniacaholic
if there is such a thing
well, I know there is —
I am one, and their king!
—Terri Guillemets
