I’m so tired of this empty feeling.
I’m so tired of being alone.
I lay here staring at the ceiling,
Waiting by the phone.

I wish and I dream
That we’ll be together soon.
I can’t wait until we can look up hand in hand
At the stars and at the moon.

I try not to weep.
I hope he doesn’t hear my cries,
But I can’t stop the tears
Falling from my eyes.

Every day
Every hour
Every moment
I’m thinking of you through the miles
and loving you.


Nice!!

Foggy Day

The open curtains
reveal
the morning's gloomy cold
filling with the room
with a laziness
that seems to have painted the mirror blue
leaving my reflection
to search for the sunlight's
broken promise

Staring
at the lingering mist
makes me want to drown
in the comforts of my bed
but alas
with dread
I gently
move
from the sea of blankets
to the kitchen
to brew enough warmth
that an unmotivated Saturday morning requires

Quiet
fills the room
as the rest of the household
enjoys the riches of dreams
and I
awakened by duty to what will soon be
the noise of children
and a grumpy hungry spouse
get one last vestige of inner peace
as the coffee's aroma
entwined
with the foggy day
prepares me for what comes next . . .
life

An Abstract Evening

Quietly
the unfinished story
unfolds
as the winds of time
slowly
yet
rhythmically
paint the sky
abstract hues
fused together by a coherent beauty
of peaceful serenity

Silence
engulfs the world
with noises that only the soul
can feel
as the stars
welcomes the night
with shimmering shadows
that paint the abstract hues
with dreams
as colorful as the imagination

The ocean waves
goodbye
as winds
rest
and tonight
the story finally has its perfect ending

Define Us


As your hands
undress
my inhibitions
fears
devour my soul
I want to reach for the darkness
to wear its shadows
to hide my imperfections

I am not used
to being revealed
exposed
by candlelight
and gentleness
I fight
every urge
to fight

Yet
there is something
about now
something about
how you explore my innermost desires
that burdens me beautifully
as I let go
and let you
define us

I want to write like you. I want the beauty found my words to be discovered by each person who reads my work. You are a phenomenal poet. You inspire. You teach. You offer exceptionalism. Your work is like a soul awaiting birth, where each word brings the anticipation of the next word until the hunger for true poetry is fulfilled. Thank you for inspiring me!!

Every Day

Every day
I am
the journey

Experiences
beautifully painted
like a dream
awaiting my direction

Every day
when it rains
to when the sun shines
I am
an artist
and life is my muse

I cannot change
what is
nor what was
but if I decide
to be
then tomorrow
will be
my design

Every day
I am
the journey
and now
is my destination

Lines of Life

Darkness
light
experiences

Memories
hope
life

Lines
deeper than thoughts
tattooed
on my soul
like a map of my journey

I will never
be lost
because I’ve seen so much
I’ve lived so much
that tomorrow
unpromised
is just the today to cherish

Darkness
light
experiences

Memories
hope
life

Why I Need the Rain

In my garden
I grow courage

In my garden
I grow peace

In my garden
I grow serenity

In my garden
I grow confidence

In my garden
I grow knowledge

In my garden
I grow understanding

In my garden
I grow strength

In my garden
Of thoughts
The path is often muddied
By the storm
But for me
To be the best of who I can be
I need the rain

Red Wine

Darkness
Pours gently over the day
Like a glass of red wine

My eyes
Slowly sips each moment
Of this picturesque elixir
As my heart
Listens to the worlds quiet

I could easily
Indulge too much
And yet never have enough
As my soul
Becomes inebriated
With life

And I wish
The glass to always remain
Half full
So that there would always be enough
Sunsets to drink in

The Sun's Goodbye

I've been kissed by fire
and it feels
like an elegant burn
gentle
as the butterfly's fluttering dance
and as warm
as a hug that says I'll hold you for forever

I've been kissed by fire
and it feels
like the breath of an angel
soothing
soft
yet awakening my soul
with an everlasting solace

I watched in silence
as it stretched
across forever
like a river of secrets
that ebbed and flowed with every color
of heaven
that was as deep and as beautiful
as my every thought

Time quietly
held the last vestige
of the sun's goodbye
as shimmering diamonds
slowly began to serenade
the darkness with what seems like
remnants
of the fading fire's light

He said he was hit by a train,
because he stopped
to think.

The wreckage was an iron cross
imbedded in his heart.







Deep. Very deep. And always, beautiful

The Most Beautiful


Never before
even in dreams
or wild imagination

Never before
the unimaginable
the most beautiful

Never before

I'm trying not to cry
I'm trying to be the strongest
but never before
has something been so real
so perfect
to make me so weak

Ten fingers
ten toes
with a perfect nose
the most beautiful

Never before
even in dreams
or wild imagination
could I ever hope
for you

My family tree was a weeping willow,
un-watered, unsheltered,
dying fast in raging storms.
The neighborhood heard the thunder crack,
and blow by domestic violence blow,
the willow wept.

Foster care was a brittle, barbwire cactus,
Aloof, neglected, forgotten by all
but the beatings of old ferocious winds
that scouted the desert plains,
hunting for the weak and vulnerable.

We survived.
Comfort never came,
but we had each other.

The once dying weeping willow dances now,
in breezes soft and slow.
It's branched arms conduct an orchestral overflow of love.
Our children are born
and play beneath the new green growth.
Wrapped safely in it's leafy tendrils,
we call it home.




An older poem I wrote.

But I wanted to say I am going to actually begin to publish now. Time and people have convinced me too.





It's about time you publish!!!! And I love this emotional piece

The Now

I watch
the sky catch fire
like liquid warmth
pouring over morning souls
to offer
their dreams
reality

I watch
every
night shaded secret
every
corner
nook and cranny
slowly being revealed
by the blinding brilliance
of the new day

And before
the rush
before
the to and fro
and noise
of a city alive
ravages
every moment
I breathe
and welcome
now
because it the only one
I'll ever have
