Drifting, As the cloud Passes by. The bird teetering Through the breeze. The gentle shake that comes From the leaves, Soothes the aching soul. Unopened eyes, And rambling To the melody Sung. Refuge found In everything That was, And is to come. But right now, As the clouds stand still In their place. Birds chirping … Continue reading Shake – June 10, 2019

Spinning Tunnel – June 5, 2019
Untamed, tunnel spinning. The fairgrounds of grief. Dark And lonely. The murmurs coming from The end, calling us To the opening Across the way. The path unkind, So close. Arms stretched out Never quite there. Finger tips scratching The surface, Always present Slipping and clawing for traction. Shouting out silently For everyone to hear. The … Continue reading Spinning Tunnel – June 5, 2019
At Sea – March 28, 2019

Obligatory Love – May 31, 2019
Working the room, A Filial beloved Drowns in The must permeating. ~~~ Building, Layers on skin. Blinding eyes To truth. ~~~ Sitting, solitary. An empty room surrounds me. The chill of metal On my legs Pressing into my hide, As one, we sit in place. ~~~ White walls Evade emotion. Fluorescent bulbs, No windows Seal … Continue reading Obligatory Love – May 31, 2019
Senses – April 3, 2019
I have been asleep at the wheel, Driving in the dark, Hands tied behind my back, Feeling my way through life, Senses turned off. Or so I thought.
Time Warp – April 12,2019
Eleven years. Together. Twelve and a half weeks. After. Ten weeks. Later. Worlds start spinning. Twenty-nine years have passed. Since I last saw you.
Hidden – May 30, 2019
I am no weakling I will not break At your silent quivers Your thrown words. Who you think I am, Or want me to be? This is me, I am no weakling Beckoned by your call. My heart speaks And I will hear her. Maybe one day, You will Bask in the love That has … Continue reading Hidden – May 30, 2019
Emptiness – May 30, 2019
This emptiness Is a feeling Growling in my gut. It festers Molding into something completely different. The agitation Takes over I’m not who I want to be. Where is the sweet release I’m looking for? Lost Underneath The emptiness That has grown inside me.
Baggage – March 22, 2019
I am tired, and Lonely, and Exhausted. From caring the emotional baggage You left behind.
Impass – May 25, 2019
Lost interest, Fallen care. What is left for us? I’m unaware.
Eyes Wide Open – May 20, 2019
Pupils dilated. I see through to your sadness, Underneath into the pools of love. Pain floats close to the surface. Where ripples love to play, Distorting what you have to give. The anger stings the outstretched hand. Are your eyes wide open, Or halfway closed?
Motherless Daughter – May 24, 2019
Mama, please don’t go, I’m not strong enough. The memory of you, Lost in the waves of time And too volatile to prod. ~~~ Life moves fast, I had no choice. Heart breaks a thousand times each day Bellowing for you. ~~~ Your lessons are a record, In my mind, But I’m still weak Not … Continue reading Motherless Daughter – May 24, 2019
You’re the… – May 21, 2019
You're the ball to my chain You're the sandpaper to my wood. You're the gasoline in my fuel tank. You're the anchor to my ship. You're the sun to my mood. You are the heart to my soul. You're the you to me that makes us, us.
Dread – May 22, 2019
This room is an empty space. Yet, it is filled with dread.
MS—-ME – 2017
Brain is tight. Leg is dumb. Want to play, Want to run. Have to find a different way. Pushing through, As I hold it in. Deepening the burden, That’s burying me. A secret kept. My life cut short, But I’m still living.
Tumbleweed – April 12, 2019
As the tumbleweed preforms it’s tap I sit front row, center, Attentively awaiting it’s show. I watch it travel by, Over and over. The same dance, Over and over. Skt—Skt—ttt—ttt—Skt-Skt-Skt-Skt—-Skt. Over and over, The same song sings, the dance it brings. Somehow this recital never grows old, Keep on watching.
