Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25

Flush – April 11, 2022

I want you to hear me You are amazing I didn’t even know it When you landed in my lap I was and am the broken one But a single person can only contain so much And I live in constant fear You are going to notice To realize Truly I am no better Than … Continue reading Flush – April 11, 2022 →

I Am My Own – February 19, 2024

The treetops are dirty As the sun goes down The wind is gentle Through my fingers ~ Lines separating ages And ages of things Dusk is when I sing Where I disappear I come alive In the colors The calmness of the day The piles of thoughts ~ Another dimension Flirting incandescently with The times … Continue reading I Am My Own – February 19, 2024 →

We All Lose Something Now and Again – December 15, 2023

I’m sitting somewhere In-between Life begging at the knees But I don’t want to go Stripping me down And whispering All of these things I don’t want to go It dances and sings In a warm glow I still don’t want to go It laughs and tickles Tempting me so To go… There is too … Continue reading We All Lose Something Now and Again – December 15, 2023 →

Empty – July 14, 2023

To be tethered to someone You know loves you And realize Nobody Can ever match the intensity left behind By what you’ve lived The sense of all by yourself Lingers Your appetite raging For a connection that alludes you at every turn You spend days Sitting alone Listening to life around you And you’re living … Continue reading Empty – July 14, 2023 →

Oblivious – April 30, 2020

Don’t go Don’t drift away Stay ~~~ It’s been too long Far, far too long ~~~ Would it have mattered The innocence it took The ugliness it planted ~~~ To have screen shots stuck In my head ~~~ Of the things I’ve seen Things I’ve witnessed ~~~ Long before I knew where it would end … Continue reading Oblivious – April 30, 2020 →

Talking to you…4/14/20

PARTS AND PIECES Tree Hammock I remember it was cold, burning cold. There might have been snow on the ground. The wind was blowing, I can still feel the sting against my cheeks. Over the years the picture has faded, but the feelings have remained. Finding shelter was my first priority. As a child my … Continue reading Talking to you…4/14/20 →
