And I've got a lot of blow
But I've got a lot of woes

He doesn’t know how it happens
it is difficult to explain
how so many times throughout the day
his heart beats out your name.

Coffee

Waking up to aroma
Of a gourmet 
array 
as you awake.
Some like it black
some take creamy.
Many stop and buy
that morning juice .

Her Silence

flowers in her hair
music on the wind
feelings on my shoulders
liquor on my breath
the words I speak
you could hear a pin drop

How lovely she is!
Honey delight poetess   
How come you forget her!?
Her sonnet sing in my ear
Hah! I love her here and there

Itty Bitty Easter Sonnet

With plastic chicks and eggs upon it,
She looked a beauty in her bonnet,
And so I wrote an Easter sonnet.

Empty Soul

an empty soul
with no story to tell 
no memory to share
only shattered emotions 
with no one to tell
just tears 
that can not be stopped
