Your Hand in Mine
Under the cherry blossoms, we stand,
Your hand in mine, soft as the sand.
The world is loud, yet here it’s still,
Our hearts in tune, our spirits thrill.
We giggle softly, sharing a look,
Like secret pages in a book.
Your laugh, a melody so sweet,
It makes my heart skip every beat.
The way you smile, the way time flies,
I see

Faded Canvas
Love has tied me in ways I never desired
Longing of you has carved your heart inside me
Under the Twilight , beneath moon I gaze pearls of pain
Every sigh whispers the silence between us
Love has tied me in ways I lost you...

All In A song
All in
shape shifter within
nothing firm
no direct plans
in motion
just live
can't plan
don't know where I stand
following the wave
don't feel really safe
is this growth?
over the top
you came in
romantic gestures
convincing
but in real life
you want me one way
and I feel it's that way or the highway
except you came to me
ohh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhhh ohhhh
chased me down
followed me everywhere
and when

Girl, listen to your mother
He says that he loves you, but he can never say why.
He says he only has eyes for you, but turns and looks every
time another girl walks by.
You think that you love him so much that you can hardly breathe.
Not realizing it is because he has pressed up against your neck, his knee.
He says that

Hello Autumn
A flame flickers,
toying and teasing
some jazz in the background.
Like stealth on tiptoe,
the darkness settles in
as the tables await couples.
Night descends upon
come-hither invitations
and your future awaits.

MY FIRST BORN
So, I can also be a father was the song my anxiety sang in that labour room,
For the past nine months I had watched him grow in his mother's womb,
Now, I was called in to hear his first earthly cry but the pains of labour made my mouth dumb,
And from the burst of the birth

Just One More Time Before We Part And Say Goodbye
Sometimes
When we have a loving relationship
Life gets in the way
The pressures of work money worries
Piles of unpaid bills
Not enough time for each other
The relationship erodes and folds
You try but you go separate ways
When we were poor my love and I
Had nothing
We scrimped and saved
For the little we had
Things started to change
When we got rich
And from

Old Couples
Do you remember the time,
When we used to carry only a dime,
No gold, no dollars,
But the world were like yours and mine?
The bliss, together we share,
We comfort each other in every despair.
The fondness that seems unending,
Our love that's bound, unyielding.
But oh, how can we not fight against time?
In its power, we can only resign.
Your long

Everything To Me
my darling, you are the first red flower
in my garden of devotions
and the resident at the highest tower
in my castle of emotions
but also, the first day of spring
and all the life you bring
like the new fawn born at dawn
in the green valleys after mom
an eclipse worshipped by the Mayans
and the shine of the stars on

Devotion Poemfive, Unspoken
(Written for Jim Eslinger )
DEVOTION POEM 5, “Unspoken” ***** (for Jim Eslinger)
Young and new to each other,
There was always too much to say.
Glancing around in restaurants, we’d notice
What so many friends remarked on when seeing
Those older couples staring at their water goblets
Or their fingers and

Ink Therapy
He said he likes my tattoos.
I said "Yes but darling can you kiss all my scars?"
The tattoos are beautiful but self-inflicted.
What about the wounds I never asked for?
Tiny imperfections,
pinpricked from years of abuse.

Ptsd
You laid asleep as I showered your body
in cotton candy kisses
A whispered I'm sorry
for the row we had just before bed
My anxiety creeping in
with each rise of your chest
Heavy with realization
that this fall might be our last
I listen to your snores
counting seconds in silence
Memorizing each movement
preparing for an imaginary pop quiz
Your love is
