Silent Scream

Your congealed charm sprays spring colors, 
folded buds of my heart unfurl.
You drift far transfixed in my sky
that falls floating with my life’s shards, 
pain rhythm sutures broken heart whole.
I hear silent scream of flower
cry for old sunrise in new dawn,
see you turn dew pearls on petals.

Tightrope of Her Abandon

Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

(fiction like a chocolate chip cookie - with morsels of truth)

he left my mother, when I was just a child
she was left broken, with fearless abandon
lessons came in many forms, often quite mild

melting into heart’s war she knew she’d land in
struggling to see the good in this rejection
knowing these are feelings she will soon stand in

leaving, without a grasp of lost affection
he wasn’t empathetic to her gentle soul
it seems he never valued their connection

abandoned by the love that made her heart whole
she struggled through the pain, starved of any hope
recalling, faith would lead her toward her goal

assured that someday she’d learn just how to cope
after she’d walked this road, almost a tightrope

Sugar’s First Big Adventure

Sugar was my very first pup,
With floppy ears and a tail stuck up.
Eyes so wide, full of delight,
Chasing sunbeams morning to night.

We ran through fields, just her and me,
Barking at clouds, wild and free.
She’d dig up secrets in the yard,
Then zoom around, a tiny guard.

She loved the breeze, the muddy streams,
And napping deep in dandelion dreams.
A heart so big, her joy so loud,
My best friend—I was so proud.

Through woods we wandered, side by side,
She'd sniff the trails where squirrels would hide.
Every stick was treasure found,
Every puddle her stomping ground.

But more than all the fun and play,
Was how she loved me every day.
Her warm little body curled in bed,
Her soft sighs near my sleepy head.

Sugar, my first, my brave little soul,
Filled the cracks, made my young heart whole.
An adventure, a gift, wrapped in fur—
A lifetime of love, because of her.

A Lover's Kiss

A kiss can say everything without a word, 
the most beautiful music a heart has ever heard. 
Your kiss will send my soul to Paradise, 
where I see "I love you" spring from your eyes. 

A kiss can make the best of a trying day, 
give hope to a soul and chase blues away. 
So much is shared when gentle lips meet, 
nothing else compares, its taste is so sweet! 

A kiss can say "I'm falling for you" 
and will hold a heart the whole night through. 
It joins two spirits in a dance of bliss, 
what's in the heart is portrayed in a kiss. 

A kiss can move and give hope for love, 
it feels like a breath from up above. 
It swoons, it touches, it enthralls the soul, 
with the power to make a broken heart whole. 

A kiss between lovers is a beautiful thing, 
time stands still while joys tenderly sing. 
Of all things pleasing, there is one thing I miss, 
holding you close and falling into a kiss.

A Silent Yearning

What am I to this forsaken world?
What am I to be, to be yours?
I’m just a long-lost soul,
Seeking a remedy, yearning for a cure.

Not bound to another, yet longing to be,
Hold me close, love, don’t set me free.
Like a leaf on the wind, with no direction known,
Without purpose, forever overthrown.

My soul is worn, my heart is weak,
Hunting for love, for the word that speaks.
In the quiet, I hear your voice—
A whisper in the darkness, a heartfelt choice.

Hold me close, and never let me go,
I need your love to make my heart whole.
Tired of being alone, of wandering free,
I need someone to anchor me.

In the shadows, I'll find my way,
To a love that's been waiting night and day.
My heart beats slow, my soul feels old,
But with you, my love, I'll never grow cold.

Through the tears, I'll find my smile,
With all the chaos, I'll face the trial.
My heart may break, but I’ll never fall—
I’ll gather all the fragments of my soul.

Doctor Merrill Krolick: The Cardiologist Who Saved My Life

In the darkest hour, when hope was thin,
A healer appeared, with wisdom within.
Doctor Krolick, with steady hand,
Guided my heart to a safer land.

The beat was faint, the pulse unsure,
Yet you found a way to make it endure.
With eyes that see beyond the pain,
You stitched together life's fragile chain.

A guardian of hearts, both weak and strong,
In your care, I found where I belong.
You turned the tide, you gave me breath,
Wrestling my life from the jaws of death.

Doctor Merrill Krolick, forever in my soul,
The one who made my shattered heart whole.

Saya

My first Granddaughter Saya
I got to hold you
That it made my heart whole
You are growing fast
Which is an awesome blast
I love you so
As each day goes
Hugs for you
And kisses to
I miss you

Concerto Of Clotting

Finally my blood began to coagulate,
and stopped to seep out of the slashed heart,
lacerated in the tempest of turmoil
by the sharp shards of your refutation.

In the memory meadow I found a crack split open
in the longing ledge of my hypnotized heart, 
where the sole sapling of love bloomed in brilliance, 
freed from the compelled confinement of isolation.

In your embrace my senses gracefully turned
into rhapsodic rhythm of heart enchanted within,
set the course of the lingering love so long latent
to sail in the sensuous stream of my yearning.

In the tormenting torrent of zooming zephyr, 
as you drifted away unconcerned past me, 
and blew a devastating storm of apathy, 
my fragmented fervent feeling became rapture ruins.

Your flouting indifferent footsteps trampled  
my emotive flower as you departed uncaring,
its crumbled petals made a wreath 
for the bleeding bits of my broken heart.

In the flow of time I saw the essence of my soul,
its healing measures created the concerto of clotting,  
as liquid lines turned into coalesced connection,
the splendorous suture made my heart whole again.

I So Love You My Soul Loves You-

God has sent me an option A thought-provering appointment 
He has rain down me His ointment

This is what I say,  today my soul loves you

From a Lonely, Bitter Stone

Once my heart was made of stone
Cold and hard, it stood alone
But then I met a gentle soul
Whose kindness made my heart whole

I felt a change, deep inside
As walls I'd built began to slide
Love seeped in and warmed my core
And all the hurt I felt before

Slowly faded, like a dream
As hope and joy began to gleam
I saw the world in a new light
And felt my heart take flight

Now, my heart beats with love and grace
And every smile I see, I trace
Back to the moment when I knew
That my heart had changed, and grew

From a lonely, bitter stone
To a warm and caring home
For all the love that I can give
And all the joy that I can live.

With My Whole Self I Will Praise God-

Happily I will ever, always
Give thanks to my Lord
For His grace He’s given me
He has saved me
I will give thanks
I will give thanks
I will give thanks
To the Lord my God with my whole self
With my mouth
With my hands and arms

I will give thanks
I will give thanks 
I will give thanks
To the Lord my God with my whole self
With my mouth
With my hands and arms

Heart whole with my Lord to the thanks give I will
Praise Him always
Heart whole with my Lord to the thanks give I will
Happily I will ever, always
Give thanks to my Lord
For His grace He’s given me
He has saved me
I will give thanks
I will give thanks
I will give thanks
To the Lord my God with my whole self
With my mouth
With my hands and arms

A Love For Me Past My Soul-

A love for me past my soul
In well in goodness
I lost my heart
To those deep dark secrets
I though not
In innocent through what I dread
Yon jealousy spirit I did hide, I held
Now lifted my eyes to see
God has a better way for me
Blacken broken callus heart
My God so mend, mends
Freed, freed clean I now stand 
Heart whole cleanse
My God has mend
Thank you my God, 
father as you always does
Once more you’ve saved me with your love
A love for me past my soul

My Little Dinosaur

You stomp around 
Roaring like a dinosaur 
Making my heart whole 
With your beautiful smile.
You have changed my life
In so many ways. 
More then your 
Ever know 
My little dinosaur
I love you

Ostrich Syndrome

Ostrich syndrome, fears freedom
Choosing self-hypnosis
Not quite the pathway to wisdom
Death by slow osmosis

Stagnation stifles soul
Touch divine, makes heart whole
With zest, playing life role

Delusion spawned dome 
Ostrich syndrome
