Dear eloquent weaver 
of woes and throes,
When the last 
 pewter petal of weary winter
falls as piercing prose,
placing star-kissed tulips
  between our 
poignant poems,
rewritten with 
  effervescent emotions,
remember,
   not every periwinkle...

No citadel’s too tall for mortals like you.
Even acclivity of mounts fear of bipeds like you.

And only with your condonance, 
do the flowers un-bud and birds do...

Done so for many a year. 
I let it drip in that bowl,

You left me not even one...

Of opulence, hygiene, crystals and clear

...... Part 3 ......

The old wolf creeps, the old wolf leaps
on prey he’s been a’ trackin’ –
a deer adorned with branchin’ horns
is torn by beasts attackin’.
The morning quakes, a shadow shakes,
tined antlers left a’ lyin’,

You take my breath away

I wanna stay in this entrancing paradise
I want all of the negativity to fade away 
The darkness isn’t my property…I despise
Living a life that’s filled with...

Once I had a bicycle,
A loving present from my grandfather;
Since I was his favorite granddaughter,
He granted my wish at a snap of my finger .

Since he was so old,
A new bicycle he could hardly afford;
He...

Yesterday I caught the drift of a word
Almost at the end of Dr. Ram?s words
That I had it all, three in one, with music and no regrets
Stirred my mind and made me think
What regret really...

But the pain throbs in my heart.

That left my big mouthed gun.
They targeted my happiness,
And killed...

Then again, I don't always do things...

I would have gifted you
a thousand springs full of them,
as I look for ways,

All day behind these walls
Watching tiny spiders crawl

The time I've wasted is becoming becoming a big regret 
That I shall never forget

Behind these walls no one knows what's happening 
Someone can be examining 
So,...

Those ol' creaky stairs have seen better days.
The varnish withers as the worn wood decays.
I look at them at times and want to repaint
so that the evident lines seen are far-more faint. 

Last week I...

Honey carry this

Dad the toilet is overflowing

Can you move the sofa there instead

Does this smell bad

Just three more stores Honey

Sorry about the truck Daddy

Dad can you fix this

and not just the typical kind
I'd like to know the unconditional
no matter what you'll forever be mine

The ones expressed with not just kisses 
but with hugs

I often dream...

so strong and stoic in your white suit 
made milky from the constant stream of sweat 
salted with your anger, determination, and pride. 
Stains of the latest rage 
added to your uniformed...

A self acclaimed professional with incomplete training;
following a system with part-time understanding;
feeding a beast with little knowledge of an approach tactics;

I really need a change of scene
So I can make this room mine
Where we once spent our time

Redecorating my room is a chore
Because I have treasure...
