As I checked my mail one day as I always do,
In the box was waiting a package with no clue

We often hear of hardship with single motherhood,
how tough it is to raise a family on her own.
How a drunkard and a basher never makes life good.
Winning the gambling debts; losing the family home.

But there's...

Here's where many...

in the stillness of the night
where shadows weave their tales
an envelope drifts weightless through silence
ancient parchment frayed
by the breath of time

it bears no return address
only the faint aroma
of forgotten dreams and echoes
a whisper carried
on the...

Plain simple and impish and easy to find in my sorrow

A true spirit I am adrift in a snow storm void of the needle...

the evening was a beautiful blue
when i got home from my workday

The letter had come in the morning mail,

Oh isn't it unfair?
That,
Right there
Gone like a whisper  .
For something to be 
To really be,
Specials only vanish

Please,
Let me grab it 
Please,
Let me hold it 
I'll be careful I promise

But an idea never tarnished,
Why so...

An Alcoholics Anonymous handbook donated to charity
With the former owner’s full name on the front, page sides, and spine
And even a return address label on...

Packaged and sent to Robert Gorelick’s
Made him a Doggy Book Of Limericks
That had me roaring-unique
Some were cute and very chic
A twisty phrase he pulls-off, are his tricks

A postcard; his picture, a return address
Newly printed and...

I got a letter the other day;
The Postman delivered it in the usual way.
No return address I could see;
Who could possibly be writing to me?

Made some room amidst the...

A note goodbye

A note
Wrapped in an envelope
Flew from under my door
As I grabbed the knob.

No name
No return address
Just a memory 
That will haunt me
Forever.

Ripping this mystery open
Without the slightest bit
Of neatness.

A letter
Is what I pulled from
This...

now roams deep space with batteries flat, and nothing else to do.
There may be chance that it gets found by aliens, I guess,
so on it's hull NASA has stamped...

Mystery Seeds

Uninvited to my garden party -
Skepticism abounds 
At faces hidden by woody capes
Maybe innocence masked in suspicion
Absent an invitation – party crashers
Of unknown origin
And unknown certification; 
Weed or wildflower – 
Herb or herbaceous horror...

You have a dream of love that didn't last. 
You search for something wrong, you might have done. 
The lockets, half a heart, were custom cast, 
The polished gold assured no end would come. 

You...
