Oh my soul I have something to share
Oh my soul I...

Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

Wait until you meet Lucinda Shaw
Curious how many said this to me.
People reported her with a bit of awe,

I thought we could both hold each others hand
And smile at each other as we overcome the storm
And look into each others eyes with great relief

Living an existence with vitality and motivation
Inner demons fought with everything I’ve learned
Feeling lost and found can sure cause frustration

Her beauty will be known for all the ages,
Deserving of its story in these pages.

So much joy emanates from well-to-do children’s sparkling eyes
Wish I could replace the grief, put smiles on the faces of my sons
Without a glimmer of hope even promises...

though perhaps a computer (imagined) might spin
all the dreams love might share, why...

Hello Afterlife.

We made life easy for each other
Always dwelling under each other’s cover.

I couldn’t tolerate a single minute

Without no...

Love, as it slithers all over the universe,
Spreading its bolts of firework
All over, seeking solely to please the lot
Of Life as, in the very end,
Love remains...

These hues, colored so bright, bringing out an array of light
This love, in healing softened my existence and allowed me to trust 
Yet sad, as we parted for...

I closed my eyes.

A long time has passed
Since i saw It.

I unchained the door.
Opened the countless locks.
Broke the last seal.

Once sealed now open like the mouth of a volcano.

I.

There are so many things that I desire,
oh, please Santa, give me what I fancy-
I’m a woman with needs, so much required,

Writing is my meditation
Not a gift from the gods
It serves to keep me sane
It remains loyal at all times
It has become a common thread in my short existance
Ever present in my unruly life
Its there to...
