Do you now feel at ease? When it's all said and done When you've seen and loved Saw the darkest side of life And even questioned the sands of time When you looked up in the sky And acknowledged the beauty of the sun Seen storms imbibe people and trees How did you feel? When you sometimes had friends But sometimes thought you...

That brilliant smile upon your face, it lights my darkened soul. One gaze upon your heavenly grace and I lose all control. Your face, so graceful in its form, is ne’er an afterthought. Your eyes, my soul seem to warm, when in your gaze I’m caught. Your skin, so lovely, is soft as snow; I...

Enough, he said with voice pitched low Enough for now, he whispered slow And curled in upon himself Having nothing left to show Knowing no one and nonself Enough, he cried though no one heeded Enough for now, as he retreated And left another piece behind Having no faith to be intreated Perceiving his own broken mind Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor Enough for...

You ask if I love you, darling, you ask if I could; It strikes to the core, my darling, my words haven't stood. Know that I love you, darling, know that I should; But my words cannot carry, darling, look under the hood.

You don't need to be, anybody else but you Because only you can see, what the world is to you You take all you know, and apply it life Because what you're looking for, is a way to survive. My mother said son, why do you worry so young? For you don't need to think, about the earth so deep. Though...

Now I have to remember you longer than I've known you Now I have to live with just your memories than the time I've spent loving you Now my hands will miss you more than they caressed your hair Now my heart shall ache harder than the time it used to race everytime I heard your name...

Life is so much sunnier now just knew it would be somehow After decades of delay when inertia held sway My mental stones gathering moss… I at last pulled the plug on my addictive a.m. drug: No more newspaper...

True and Deep within me I found it That I have lost My smile Which I had used Hope and soul But to defend sorrow and pain No longer Will entice My heart With its positivity I know that I should stay true- To myself I owe that At the least… P.S. you can read this backwards (too)....

Apophasis is such a cool word. Not to mention how it sounds like a popping fist and fireworks, though I wouldn’t dare suggest I’ve ever blown things up just for grins and giggles. It’s cousin to praeteritio, kissing cousin to paralepsis— all of them cool sounding words, not to mention parasiopesis which leaves the juiciest bits unsaid— but don’t get me started on this. Of course,...

ALLUSIONS OF A VANISHED NOW stainless-steel womb welded shut, buried beneath the oak's gnarled roots, remnants given to the earth. allusions of a vanished now~ faded sepia photographs, a girl's clumsy drawing of herself, a compact disc, its molded plastic brittle, a mix of forgotten summer love songs. headlines tell of wars, violence, and bloodshed tidings of momentary joys~ the scent of potpourri, a best-selling...

Baby swing unused for eight years Glider has sat dormant since 2019 Dual slides; who was the last one to slide down them? I do not remember because it has been a while I congratulate myself on making this play park into a dog park The dogs use the underside of the slides for shade They have dug holes around the...

I was your mom before i was anything else, My name, before my plans, Before the life i thought i’d have— I was yours. Now the world keeps turning, But i don’t know where i fit, Who am i supposed to be If I'm no longer your mom?
