HOY
Hoy es tu dia, Pero no estas.
Hoy me pierdo en el recuerdo.
Hoy me encuentro en tus memorias.

El dolor me impide pensar.
Hoy fui derrotada!
Hoy lloré!
Hoy sentí la...

Seeds of SorrowHer eyes swelled and swelled
With bitter tears
That lingered near...
She stood there and not here
Since she thought
It was better to cry, than to try to fly
Into the fantasies ought
To have held on
Rather, just watch and let...

playground scarsLittle Girl swings in the air,
legs pumping, wind in hair
the closest to flight she’ll ever be.
freedom and fairytales whisper in her ears,
telling her with each swing, she’ll be closer to the clouds.
Little Girl and Little...

baby elephants - a letter to my motherbaby elephants stay with their mothers their whole lives
they follow them for miles,
hiding in the maternal shade
of large, floppy ears,
perfect for listening to their cries.
so why, mom, did you leave your baby,
even after...

In Praise of Yelling
Sometimes
it's good to give
yourself up in an heartfelt yell -
to find a place out of earshot
of others, a beach will do,
or better, a shoreline with rocks
and crashing waves,
or out bush where there is
nothing...

Dearest Sonyou're the king in my jungle,
Peace in my world.
You're the sunshine blossoming my life,
The healthiest air I breathe.
You're my most important person.
The moon in the darkest night.
Like sugar in my coffee,
Salt to my stake,
Your presence...

BoyIntriguing hollow log
Boyhood, sunshine, smiling
Slippery, slimy frog
Summer days whiling
On undulating grass -
Beauty so beguiling
Cloudy memories, alas,
You, outshining fog -
My bonnie lass...

I'm Starting to ForgetI'm Starting to forget you
I wish I wasn't.
When is your birthday?
What are your fears?
I can't really believe
It's been so many years.

Is it curly like mine?
What clothes did you wear?
Whats your Favorite...

LILYIn a somber house on Maple Street, where shadows creep,
Lived Lily, a child, in silence she'd weep.
With every creak of the floorboards at night,
She'd hold her breath, gripped by fright.
Mr. Johnson, her father, a looming...

Forgiving the Unforgivable(Lights dim, single spotlight illuminates the speaker, dressed in simple attire. Voice starts trembling, building in intensity)
Can forgiveness mend, a childhood,
fractured in the dark?
Where the scars are a map, etched,
not just in...

Let a Man be Childlike NaiveIf a man humane is that he ought be,
Maybe, his grit’s grounded by child's good grace,
Or his contented heart’s always happy,
Perchance, he wears a child's innocent face.
Good if he’s wise, far...

America Never LearnsThe powerful have bombs
the students have voices
enough is enough they say
University campuses unite
A map in the year of 1947
tells a story no one in the west
really wants to hear
thieves on stolen lands
America, professional bombers
Iraq, Libya,...

Semper AlumnusThank you God
That I’m always a student
I abhor
The slaughters of the babies
Toddlers were killed dead
Young boys and girls were shot dead
Pregnant women were stabbed dead
That’s terror
Young men were executed
Young women were raped and killed
That’s horror
