First Love Poems

the cedar tree

bright …

a flash of light -
thunder clapped like cannons as
into the old tree
we scurried ...
the mouth of its little
hollowed-out gut, yawning like some
tired old man from a Dickens story ...
perhaps the chin of the
ghost of Jacob Marley, let loose in
horrid fashion from its jaw-
binding bandages ...

       ~ then found

Untitled

My heart still waits where shadows fall,
For love that left yet owns it all.

Next Lifetime

My love,
I was loving you like the root of a sweet potato—
tied to the heart,
but never to the feelings.

Let’s meet again in another lifetime.
That time,
I’ll be the one to find you first,
and I’ll hold your hand
before the world can take you away.

Rapture

white light, blessed bliss
one light, tepid kiss
although your eyes are the prize,
it's those ruby lips i'll miss

rapt 'round in rapture
my heart you capture
your visage, casts vast visions,
of which, outlasts my stature

If a tree falls in the forest

If a tree falls in the forest, 

And nobody is there to hear it,

Does it even make a sound?


And if I'm screaming out for help, 

And nobody is ever going to listen,  

Did I even have a voice?

GOD WROTE THIS LOVE STORY

“God Wrote This Love Story”
A Dedication to Ashley & Julius
From keystrokes exchanged on a winter’s day,
To promises whispered, hearts swept away.
December's spark lit love's gentle flame,
Now two souls prepare to share one name.
January brought more than a start,
With Target as the stage, and hope in each heart.
From aisles to forever, their bond began,
Ordained by God's

One-Sided Crush

I think this one-sided crush
will fade like the waves in the ocean—
loud when they reach the shore,
but forgotten as they fall back into silence.

THINGS YOU NEVER TOUCHED

I stitched my silence with threads of things I couldn’t say.
I yearned with the last pieces I had stored away.

The moon watched me unravel, but never turned away.
The sea heard my cries, but never bothered to ask me "why?".

I carved poems on the inside of my ribs just to feel alive.
And the lines suffocated me

my unmatched love

love is an overused and time worn concept 
marriage is banal 
yet nothing about your love is threadbare
you are my evermore
you wear me thin but even the thinnest strings of my fate spell out your name
there is no sphere where waking up on your sore bicep takes a backseat in my thoughts 
you are not

Our unfinished story?

You were nothing. 
Closing any chapter with you feels like heartbreak, 
The small crinkle that the crack makes, 
That little sigh my heart takes, 
You, oblivious to the stakes.
Hoping you only look this good in my arms. 
Hoping you only miss me when you’re drunk. 
Hoping for you. 
Wishing you understood; you were poetry I

perception

Your eyes are like a treasure casket,
Filled with gold,
Eyelashes like the tree after a freshful rain,
Cheeks , soft like cotton
Smirking face, elegant charm.
imagining you is like,
imagining a landscape,
Which has everything that you
Wish for , desire for
Wanted,are  obsessed with
And the aroma of soil,
Reminds me of you,
Everytime i see you,
This is the way , i see

Home at Last

I found today
I found a start
Along the way
I found my heart

I felt the pace
I felt the beat
I saw her face
I felt the heat

I fumbled nouns
I fumbled verbs
I mispronounced 
I slurred my words

I felt her hand
Caress my face
I understand 
I found my place

The Last Poem About Us

25th high school reunion 
Big Beaver Restaurant 1997

You somehow found 
the seat next to me.

Showed me a picture
of your husband

Doesn’t he look like you?
--No—well---maybe--No

Later, I wanted to talk to you
--all night--

Hands in my pockets
by the dance floor

Unrestrained, we might have 
taken a room out on Rt. 18

But that’s only me.
The next morning

my wife at the

Chasing the wind and butterflies

Chasing the wind and butterflies 
Blowing dandelions and watching them rise.
The feel of soft grass beneath tiny feet
Not yet knowing the feel of defeat.
Growing up 
Mud puddles to jump.
Catching fish in the nearby creek
Playing games of hide and seek.
Growing older
Standing shoulder to shoulder.
Reading books by flashlight
Giggling with friends all night.
The excitement of a boyfriend
Dreaming of

The power of her journey

The Constant Heart A daughter born, 
a fragile bud, 
A father's pride, 
A mother's flood Of hope 
And dreams in tiny hands, 
She learned to crawl on sacred lands. 
Her value isn't found in gold,
 But in the stories to be told— 
A tender spirit, 
wild and free, 
A sapling for the family tree.
