              that builds
tearing the cords
   to my heart
refreezing it

Thanksgiving’s growing near.
We’ll soon drag out the plastic tree.

Soon the sun will shine
Through the east facing blinds
I haven't worked in seven months
Yet, I rise every day before him
And write a poem or two

The ceiling fan wobbles
Finches, sparrows and a cooing dove
Greet the dawn

We read about the slaughter in a place far overseas,
where the multicultural blending has been there for centuries.
Where church of all denominations have been standing side by side.
Where neighbours have been neighbourly; respect seemed to...

a simple statement, two words of encouragement from a queen
to a knight without direction
barely an audible command, more like a kind mediation 
before her castle becomes swept with an influx of information
swarming with the...

From her eyes
Her lips are raw and puffed up
She plays her music really loudly
So she can try and feel nothing.

She always seems so hollow and scared...

Ho Ho Ho!
Oh by jingle, bring out old Chris Kringle,
To light up every lawn on the block.

One thousand & one souls!
Treading along my endless road,
Are you going to my stream
To drag out all my fishes?

When they saw me, they laughed;
Then, I’ld kill a thousand of them;
One thousand to die for laughter:
Laughing...

Donald and Ronald were identical twins. Growing up, they did 
everything together. They were not only brothers; they were

because they would say things...

Darling—
You strung together useless trinkets of imagination,
And pinned me up inside your head. 
With dreams that stalked me across the night,
But were too big to drag out of bed.

You clung to the savior you rashly...

Summer stands for beaches, parks, and camping.
In June most flowers will be in full bloom,  
Zinnias, Begonias, and sweet-scented
Zephyranthes share every color, while
Lavender freshens the air with each breeze. 
In July, a thirsty sun...

Every time she sees him all she can see is pain.
Over something she would love to have,
but could never gain.
She could be happy,
but only for a short time.
It never takes long with her for someone...

I feel like I am bleeding on the inside.
I can’t drive down the highway without my thoughts replaying your words.
How dare you assume I would wander away,
So you wandered away in a preemptive strike.
You killed...

And the loneliness attacks me
Yet once again
And I feel that great hollow 
Dig deep in my being

It clamps down inside me
It chokes out my heart
It leaves me so empty
