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

Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24
Dedication page: Many Greetings, Many Faces For the past year-ish, I have been sharing very sparingly what I write because, well to be honest, I think it’s crap. I am not being honest with myself, and I feel it in every word that I force out on the paper. I have recoiled a bit into … Continue reading Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24

I miss those days All of them.
Devotion – February 16, 2024
It lives in my chest The pit of my stomach The corner of my eyes ~ I have always felt…alone ~ A cradle Where I wake And where I fall asleep
Roll Away – January 24, 2024
I saw a glimmer, I saw a shine You visited me And sat for a second Until you decided, to roll away You visited me On my cheek Until you decided To roll away~

A glimpse out the glass door One leaf was up on it’s edge doing cartwheels across the frozen tundra It had a bounce to it’s step While the buttery morning light illuminated it’s glory Losing my mind in the time it took to go it’s path Laying motionless in the short winter grass Traveling with … Continue reading Brevity – January 2, 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

Frosted to the glass, I shatter Thoughts racing through my head Heart pounding in place Watching….Things…go…by I know, no better
Passerby – June 12, 2023
The dark is never far behind And I can only crack the door The light’s warm glow on my cheeks Never enough to submerge all of my thoughts And my feelings of inadequacy Each molded into a distorted shape That I barely recognize in the morning Retaining a love and laughter That takes cover from … Continue reading Passerby – June 12, 2023
Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021
Traipsing Inside the inklings Of time Picked up By the wanderers Who have nothing to forgive Because forgiveness itself Seems to be letting go Or so I’ve been told Inside the glimmers of light The sun will eventually Hand over the day To the moon Seemingly scattered These dreams I’ve had A million times Wandering … Continue reading Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021

PARTS AND PIECES The Red Dodge I had to be four, because my mom picked me up from preschool that day. I remember the building: hot paper, glue, ink, and the bold scent of must. My classroom was in the basement of the town’s Parks and Rec center. Other than the smells, I only remember … Continue reading Talking to you…6/13/20

Talking to you…6/9/20
Brain blurp... I’ve been told, I’m living in the past, but I feel I’m more in the present than I have ever been. How in the world is that even possible? I am finally letting myself sit with these feelings, these emotions I’ve carried with me for oh so long, but I’m right here. It’s … Continue reading Talking to you…6/9/20
