Where Your Green Eyes Grow – March 11, 2020
Your green eyes Are what I remember Lost In the forests I’ve wandered The wildflowers Still bloom But you Are not here to see them I follow the rocky path Stepping on stones Feeling the cold waters Rush between my toes Flirting Distracting me From finding you ~~~ If I could only Return To where … Continue reading Where Your Green Eyes Grow – March 11, 2020
No Words – March 31, 2020
I can’t I just can’t I’ve tried And I’ve tried Over until I cried All I do is sit And catch my tears That hold these fears I swallow And I drink To do it Again...and again...and again...and again... And again...and again...and again... And again...
Hearts – March 17, 2020
The street light screams At the emptiness below Holed up An invisible war Lying down our fancy For others not able Kindness rings Our windows sing And rooftops emptied In a glorious Sound Unearthed By what lies Invisible within Each of Our hearts
In the Wind – March 29, 2020
Blow me away Pick me up And take me with you Don’t ever set me down Take my breath And use it to your pleasure Feed my soul Empty my heart Blow me away Fast and furious In the wind I’ll go with you... Anywhere
Breaking Point – March 25, 2020
My eyes cry Toward the sky Fleeing The everlasting feeling Of turning It off What seems so simple So direct Has blurred Past an invisible line As we approach The breaking point
Second of Awareness – March 15, 2020
Just past the hill Where the shadow falls The bed runs dry The grasses bend Under my cracked feet Landing on a cold Soft pillow Fresh My senses Awoken From their slumber I ingest everything Surrounding me Stopping And gulping A deep breath Starved For the energy Given to me In this Second Of awareness
It Will – March 14, 2020
Chomping and chomping Nothing else to do Sitting and waiting Scouring for something To ease the tension More and more Building Climbing Coming down For just a second To return higher Than I left Too much Filling And stuffing Blowing and blowing Until the bubble Just Pops
A Dreamlike Awake – March 14, 2020
I stepped over the uprise Between the out and the in I came to a surrounding That hypnotized me I couldn’t catch my breath The sound was silence Stunned into oblivion It was everything I couldn’t imagine All my desires Of dreams Had come true I listened in the illusion I know it must be … Continue reading A Dreamlike Awake – March 14, 2020
A Brief Moment – March 6, 2020
Cracked and crazy The vibe I ride Juicy and dripping Rung dry and Swimming In its own puddle Locked and loaded Ready to spit Bringing the fire A vengeance Not needed In the least Except for The feeling It spared For Just One Second

Even when we feel alone, we are surrounded.
Within – March 16, 2020
There are times I have no words To send drifting down this river. But instead I turn within, and Find myself ruminating In its understated beauty.
The Unknown – March 14, 2020
Will this be the same, when we wake up?
If I Fall Apart – March 7, 2020
If I fall apart Will you hold me together... Take my hand And quench my thirst Your smell I’d follow Anywhere Wrapped around Protecting The sun will shine Roses will grow The sea waves Crash And pull Us out Into the rip tide You and I will Sit atop our world Laughing and crying Because … Continue reading If I Fall Apart – March 7, 2020
Talking to you…Killdeer 3/8/20
I heard a Killdeer this afternoon. I saw a lady bug crawling on my windshield. The breeze huffed through the trees, then died down, and again. I stopped and looked up at the lady bug, once. She was still. I think she was holding on. Of course, she was a she. Duh. And now she’s … Continue reading Talking to you…Killdeer 3/8/20
Clockwise – March 4, 2020
The way the world turns From left to right Front to back Up then down You trapped me here Following the rules It’s breaking my heart Coming out Cracked Just in time To realize The clock will Never Tick backwards
Raw and Real – February 15, 2020
It’s hard to stay here For any length of time Giving chunks Asking nothing in return The price of silence Hits me Where it really counts
I Bid You Adieu – March 1, 2020
I have so many pieces of her stuck to my soul I can’t bare to think of what’s missing They play in my mind Like an old reel of film Round and around Clicking at a pace Nostalgic to my mind As the end approaches Sharply slapping my cheek
The Birds Still Sing – February 25, 2020
I live here Because this is where she is The upside down The land that exists Incoherently From the rest I’ve grown to find safety In my solace Lean in against myself The birds still chirp Only I can hear the sad song they sing Filling my head With ideas So many ideas That will … Continue reading The Birds Still Sing – February 25, 2020
Frosted Moon – February 10, 2020
Frosted moon Glowing Behind the branches Drawing my eyes up Somewhere past the skies Oh little prince Keep us young You and I Outside In the circle The world passing us by The feelings I remember Easy and whole The mark left A constant reminder Of who I was And who I’ve become Oh moonshine, … Continue reading Frosted Moon – February 10, 2020
