     Like a bladder canteen on a Bedu dromedary,

Sloshing the alveoli that branch, internal ...
     Frozen filligree fanning my firkin chest.

I blink a tear, staring up at the belt of Orion,

Godspeed, Farewell

Good riddance, I say,
Godspeed and farewell,
Full of your damage and misery of cold,
Let me forget you as I grow old.

Let me not think that you will come back,
Give me the sun of sunshine days,
One by one with the freedom they bring,
To walk, to hang...

Through the storms through the perils
To REACH YOUR HEART I've been through
Suffered much endured so much
Survived it all, I brush it off
for my heart is as strong as any obstacle I face
Im swift I come with Godspeed...

Godspeed


Godspeed
To a place I find no pain

Lead
From here of constant rain

Reveal
True meaning while I’m here

Heal
The hearts that I’ve caused tears

Remind 
From where I’ve come

Find
What I let be undone

Consume
The fire brought upon

Renew
Like the newly breaking sun

Destroy
Pain that shouldn’t exist

Avoid
What was just hit and missed

Hide
Secrets that lie...

A losing river runs with chains—
Still, cannot bind with the sea;
When alive with you was its only calling.
Now I return and recur over and over
In my loss – my great mental heart.

My love, my life,
Are you still mine?

Anywhere, I need your love.
I need your love,...

What just happened?
I ask myself this simple question every day. 
How could I have let you...?
How was I so blind....?
I ask myself this simple question every day. 
How could one person absorb my thoughts?
My feelings?
My values even! 
You turned the hourglass. 
My hourglass. 
What had...

On the wings of a Pegasus,
You've spirited away
To be with the Lord in heaven.
I wish I knew you better
During your living years,
But through your poetry,
You opened ajar
The window to your soul,
For that I'm eternally grateful!
God has called you home,
Whispering into your ear
"Your work here is...

Jesus died on a cross so I could live
He promised all my sins he would forgive
if you want to see God, you go through me he said
my blood is the wine in this cup, my body the bread
angel arms would fly me to Heaven at...

I’m going, I’m leaving
I’m going to tomorrow by bed
best travelling at night
where church bells speed the hours there
for my arrival at first light
to a newer land than today
and I’ve only packed my hopes
alas I often over pack

To my husband of 54 years

Will you sail with me to a far away land,
stand by me when I am alone?
Hold me a moment and take my hand,
when my task here on earth is done?

We crossed a dessert in storm and rain
Together, we conquered life’s...

the plane ascended.
i yelled it.

this straw in the wind; fly fly fly
i felt it was a necessary affectation 

to ensure a safer flight
or rather a calmer form of passenger

bring out the java
i want to ride the bean

we soar, slope upward 
i greet the turbulence

Panicked trips down the rabbit hole goes as follows,
Far beneath the depths and hollows.
Way before first breath of plaque,
Meaningless so void and vague.
Til death you see we meet again,
Born to die and live to sin.
Time is out and toll the bell,
Body in the wishing well.
The...
