This day is quite strange--
I woke up with a perfect smile
I played a different playlist
Not the usual emo songs, at least. 
I said hello to the robin in her nest home
While I opened the curtains in my room
And let the...Read More

me to cover her in
chocolate and whip
cream but this is

a dream of mine and
today happens 
to be Saturday
honey how about

Strands of ribbons ride the sky with suns arrival
Children watch for birds and listen for the bands
To their delight music raises up horizons on the curve
Lifted like a curtain at the circus 
Curved at the ends where land meets sky

Everybody knocks on Homebody's door,
Everybody said hi I'm looking for Somebody.
Homebody told Everybody that
Somebody went shopping with her cousins
Somewhere, Anywhere and Everywhere.
Everybody left looking for Somebody.

If Busybody was a gossip queen,
Then Homebody is a match maker,
Trying to find a match...Read More

Santa’s Nap

It was the night before Christmas
And old Santa was beat.
He had worked day and night
and had schedules to meet.

So he sat in his chair 
For a short little nap,
Then rubbed his eyes
and took off his cap.

Then visions of toys...Read More

Christmas is the day that holds all many drinkers together, they seem to think that by getting loaded on that sacred day an expected thing to do. It goes without saying the greed also comes into the reckoning. I cannot...Read More

The fire's reach is ideal, not too high.
The dancing orange embers keep us warm.
Winter's harsh wrath is ever drawing nigh.
But the hearth protects from the ice and cold.

By the fireplace new stories unfold.
Of how we outlast season to season.
These make...Read More

I can’t wait…
To no longer have the desire to submerge myself into you
Into those full chocolate lips that once spoke sweet nothings into my ears.
I can’t   wait...
Till I no longer wake mid-dream with tears running down my face
As...Read More

Distance Squared

The speed of light
is exactly how fast
my heart sends;
every prayer, 
every good thought, 
every perfect wish! 

The bright candle between us, 
it is the sun itself. 
 
The solar wind fills the sails
of my forever ship, 
longing to journey...Read More

December

In this bedroom I type out
“Amazon” where are the socks,
And then, and then, a press,
And “chocolate” and a dog leash,
And oh, yes, the simple things 
To remember,

Here on this day of rain,
Emails of pain, will they make the grade,
So many...Read More

Christmas has always been a joyous time
Family getting together for food and wine
Fragrant Smells of balsam and prime rib roast
With warmth of smiles during our family toasts

Colored Christmas lights adorn the perfect tree
Ribbons and bulbs arranged perfectly for all to...Read More

Our Tree

The green tree in the box, 
kept in the attic, 
is in pieces. 
Not because it is dead, 
or firewood, 
but a project
to be assembled. 
Much like our life, 
from the beginning of I do, 
lovingly placed together, 
each...Read More

Pumpkin pie and gingerbread men smell sweet.
Their perfume fills my nostrils and creates stories
in my imagination.

Peppermint Pipers songs dance across my taste buds;
hot chocolate and cinnamon fresh scents mingle with a towering scotch pine filled with glass globes 
and candy...Read More

Giving me whistles and blow horns and socks covered in pairs

Not stuffed animals but real ones who roar and have long hair

I have fond memories of grandpa's farm,
deep in a valley with a stream nearby;
it really was not a working farm.
but my grandpa's dream fulfilled.
He had horses (my favorite),
but there was also one donkey called Fred; 
and some cows and lots...Read More

SHAKEN UP

The vortex sucked
me into the globe.
  shaken, distressed
pounding on the confines
of the glass.
   the snow n-e-v-e-r stops.

Music lifts,
   from the bowels
of this new world —
the humor of “it’s
    a small world”

Suddenly...Read More

Nestled closely to the wood, your heart begins to spin
Feeling the fire all over, the coals recoil the spark
You dance like no tomorrow, in the silhouetted dark
