From a loved one who tossed them to the hardwood floor.  
They came to tell me how I’m truly missed,

segments of memory here and there

like siblings - wanting to grow up
explore independence - t...

Don'T Silence My Voice

as ocean waves continue slapping shore
against my naked, bloody, tired feet.
Need to widen search for cleaner water 
quenching thirst tomorrow thru tomorrow.

True Love Waits

...My wants imbue myself so soft and pure,   
stirring weakened heart to turn your way.
You kissed my supple lips to lastly lure,

Walking In Daddy's Boots

...I loved walking in daddy’s boots,    
just to trample where he had been; 
to track the path of prior roots
and then return them once again.

Some boots were old and some were new;  
I loved wal...

Spectacular

...S pacious formation from top to bottom,  
P ulses a harvest moon in late autumn.

My Simon - My Sam Bo

...You entered my life when yours seemed grim,
affected lonesome heart on a chancy whim.
