Beautiful LadyWhat a beautiful lady standing in front of me,
I imagine what life would be.
Her beautiful smile, so big and so bright,
Makes me know that what I feel is right.
With every laugh and every tear,
Communication and understanding are clear.
All our fears seem to be put to rest,
Whenever she cuddles into my chest.
An everlasting friendship and love,
Makes...

orchard in garden
yields bounteous ripe apples,
stem cell in seed is
a little bit of nothing -
willing self to be fulfilled...

The GardenerThe Gardener
I thought, could I
shape the clouds,
Those ones on high,
With hand and mind
What greater blossoms then
would come to eye!? Beauty of
some rarer orchid, or rose?
Or just the tip of my protruding
nose, sniffing for scents where
they are not…? Botany my
heart!...

AbsoluteNo facades needed
for my love to prosper.
True nature lights the spark
that ignites my heart’s wick.
To keep the candle burning bright
all that’s desired is love and faith
accented with shared laughter
as our days go by.
No strings attached,
no fine print to be found.
My love is yours for the...

It Will Be BeautifulWhen I don't understand I look to you for words to speak,
And every time it brings me to my knees,
What I cannot describe yet know inside,
Leaving me speechless, making me cry,
Do I need an explanation or validation,
What if it is just love without expectation,
You brought me here in this place,
To create that freedom and space,
And...

No Gentle HandsThe master cracks his whip
across the horse’s trembling flank,
pushing the beast to its limits
until the wildness snaps and the horse reacts,
a flurry of chaos beneath the sting.
When silence falls, the master
believes the animal has learned,
believes the wounds are healed.
He reaches out with clean hands,
petting the horse's weary muzzle,
his fingers gentle, but not soft enough.
The horse,...

The Decline of HumanitySee the world around yourself,
See the people around you—
The scary face of people,
The crying face of children.
They are scared, lonely, and sad.
They fear the world.
See the fearless around the world.
The mothers are crying with children in their hands,
Praying for their children’s life,
While others are praying for their children’s future
To be bright.
People say, “This is the...

I Love You AnywayI held on all that time, believing your lie,
Thinking you were using me deep down inside,
When I questioned things you reassured me and made me believe,
That this whole time you were in love with me,
Just one question after I sacrificed my whole life,
And the response was I don't know if I want to be with...

the possession of a vesselthe possession of a vessel
a cradle call
a steady fall
a empty cost
and all's lost
a candle care
a random share
a fullness last
and all's cast
a constant claim
a longing name
a least of more
and all's before
a costly care
a vessel rare
an emptied full
and all's pull
a cradle claim
a constant name
a candle fair

TchotchkeSpring cleaning comes and I seek to expunge from every counter and corner
All clutter and dried rose that serves no purpose
Knickknacks and little trinkets all go in the basket.
To be given to those who have lesser or resold or simple lost forever
There it sits on the mantle, an object grotesquely elephantine
Rounded edges so it fits...

To Ponder or Not to PonderTo ponder or not to ponder - that is the question.
Is it a waste of my precious seconds, minutes, hours
To dwell on the questions that plague my mind?
I spend my waking and waning hours mulling and considering,
Crashing waves of question marks and possibilities
Dance around in my mind's eye, quelling the beast of sleep.
A skeptical girl's...

Beyond Words
In the unspoken stanzas of glance,
A language of love is skillfully enhanced.
Flushed cheeks , shy eyes ,
Glimmering like starry night skies.
The melody of footsteps, a syncronized pace,
A duet of devotion in every gaze.
Fingers touch, cheeks glow red,
Whispered secrets in the heart's closest thread.
The eyes deep dialect, a secret code,
Conveys the heart's deepest abode.
The soft curves...

Sit For A SpellWhen I'm with you on the phone
I finally feel I'm not alone
If you could ever sit with me
I'd take that opportunity
To tell you all about my life
So that if you became my wife
You'd know me, nothing I would hide
We'd take our days and wèeks in stride
And as the years stretched very long...

Fun FunIn the thoughts I have of us
We sure have lots of fun
Thoughts of us together
Thoughts of us as one
And in my wildest dreams, I've had
Big ones where snowstorms reigned,
Hot ones where fireplaces roared
And we added to the flames
But take away the snowstorms
Take away the flames
Take away what passion comes
When calling out our names
And what's left...
