Alive, But Gone
I love you both with all my heart,
But Mum, you tore that love apart.
You made me choose, you made me cry,
While Dad was left to wonder why.
You spoke of him with poisoned tongue,
Bad words for ears still far too young.
You painted him in shades of wrong,
And made me feel I don’t belong.
He wasn’t perfect, neither...

55th wedding AnniversaryI'll always remember the vows we made on that Special Day,
I promised that I would Love, Honour and Obey.
As I look back on these years just one thing comes to mind
If I had searched the whole wide world,a better Man I wouldn't find.
You were the starlight in my eyes,the reason for my life,
You gave...

ConversationsConversations with my father,
Bittersweet, and maybe sad
Conversations with my father
Talks that we never had.
Companionably silent
As we set off walking
Neither of us known
For doing too much talking
Down Lambwath road
To Billy Bulson’s farm,
Each with a broken 12 bore
Tucked safely underarm.
I was at his hospital bedside
On the day that he died
Once alone in the car
I...

What was I sayingI don't want to imply that it was bad.
but what I've seen is drenched in black.
And I don't want to feel this way for you.
So scrape me out of you,
and I'll lead you out of me.
I don't want to live this way for you.
Only time will tell how this will end
there's to many scars...

StarsThe moon was bright when we were stargazing.
I thought the stars were haphazardly scattered across the sky.
You didn’t.
You thought they were intentionally placed in every space.
I liked the idea of them being thrown like seeds and you liked the idea of them being carefully set.
So, we agreed to disagree.
Now the moon isn’t so bright.
And the...

When You ReturnYou left me
And in your absence lives
The memory of canyon echoes
Jasmines after a spring rain
Grass stains on blue jeans
And the color of a sunset sky
Reflected off chrome
When you return
It will be with the fanfare
Of a hundred screaming seagulls
Steaming hot chocolate
Bluer skies, bluer jeans
And the scent of jasmines
That reminds both of us of home....

HEAVEN HOURSI always wondered what are the best hours
To see family and friends in Heaven
I know losing someone that you were close to
The nightmares never end
From the second they passed away
Everyone says to give it time
Day and night we will always think why did this happen
You close your eyes at night
And hope to see everyone in...

A side of me PT1I don't know how to act
I can't even behave
Is it a fact?
I'm not even brave
Her voice rings in my head
I'm not sure if I'm losing it
Starting to feel dead
I think I should sit
The world seems grey
I haven't seen her smile
I don't know what to say
It's been a while

Elegy for a Fallen ComradeThe Coca-Cola lamp
made a circle of light
on the nightstand—
(soft and amber)
barely touching the horses beneath it.
You lifted the needle up gently,
and set it down lightly again:
“Bye, bye, Miss American Pie…”
We didn’t say goodbye. Not really.
Not the kind that...

To my complacent Ms. Crane
I am at odds my love, your comely visage has my heart rend. I struggle somewhere betwixt carnality and a fervent want of your attention. Oh! Ms. Crane, I do so labor for your love. The muse runs foolhardy across every page, and on stage I act the jester just to...

UngluedEvery now and then
I wonder about you
If you're still feeling blue
And maybe need a friend?
I can't seem to send
A 'hi' or 'how are you'
Unsure how to continue
From our bitter end.
I can't just pretend
There isn't a grey hue
Lurking between us two
That time does deepen.
I know I messed up then
But can't I start anew?
After all we've been...
