Suddenly over the sudden years I have felt an encumbrance; I sense an albatross - the weight of sundry uncharted days. Times I chronicle today as if I were a wax cylinder or a broken spool in a cassette tape. A gray goose wing flight is my personal sky. I must write 'personal sky’ ten times a day so that the abated...

And if today puts a period on forever I’m glad I got to spend it with you I’m glad we got to drink in a million golden sunsets I’m glad we got to dance to our own music in the rain I’m glad we got to laugh during the birth of a thousand sunrises I’m glad we got to collect...

I remember he wore a dark, blue coat. But remembering doesn’t mean much. For a woman like me who feels fluttering and sees flying things. I remember he wore a light, orange coat. Then he turned into a traffic cone. While I stepped into the street. Nodding my head even without music. Sound is forgettable. Screeching cars...

~ She chased a pretty butterfly, the field a minty green With Salvia and Baby's Breath, a watercolor scene As fast as her two feet could run, she touched its silken wing, so vivid, a kaleidoscope, a stained-glass kind of thing When suddenly the grasses swayed, she felt herself ascend Then laughed as every tree below began to twist and bend It seemed that something magical had happened 'fore...

Ordinary days, just like before, No one knows the feeling of being ignored. It's always that one who makes the heart beat fast, In every way, giving the heart a blast. That someone is too far from reality, The impossible hits differently. Too good to be true to notice, Even in the smallest way, there's no space. It’s always you that gives a...

Looking for a new way, To inspire my day. Dropping what I love, Chasing my joy away. Trying to change ways, And the part I play. To reflect, A better aspect, Of Myself. Tearing it off, Putting it on the shelf. Seeking discipline, To complete my mission. So you will listen, And See, Just how happy, It made me, To ride crazy waves. Inside my mind, Bringing me so high, Crashing down to cry. Retrying, Another ride. I...

I step through echoes, faint but near, Each one a whisper in my ear. Shadows stretch across the lane, Tracing outlines of old pain. Yet somehow, in their quiet way, They guide me forward;stay. But as the stars begin to rise, I find new light in tired skies. The past may hold my hand tonight, Yet dawn will bring its softer light. And in the...

When shadows lengthen, and the day grows dim, And doubts like tangled vines begin to trim The garden of your hopes, where dreams reside, Positive thoughts become your guiding tide. For thoughts are seeds, in fertile minds they grow, And what you nurture, that's what you will know. If you plant worry, thorns will pierce your hand, But sow bright visions, blooming...

Recently, I was chasing moonbeams in a dream It's just a typical, whimsical childhood scheme but this time a veil was lifted from my eyes and what I saw had me gasping with sighs. I felt chilled when I realized I was all alone on some distant planet that wasn't my own. There were rings and moons circling around Could this be...

Dreams gallop up the mountains ascending like a wild spirit set free. Meanwhile we step onto the path, trepidation up to our knees....

Stars were twinkling each time that I kissed you at sundry bars, where I was unable to resist you. And you kept saying in the world's sweetest voice, "Hope you know, you're definitely one of three boys whom tonight I would love to say 'Yes' for a tryst to."...
