A missing front tooth Nightlight glowing soft Height marks on the wall Training wheels old news Car keys in the drawer Butterfly kiss Mama bear hug A runny nose Love for my son Brushing teeth Bedtime tales Shutting doors Baked bread Beer breath Tears ...

The sky slid across a thinly iced sun As clouds collided amid piled up heaps Painting noses pink, where powdered breath spun Webs of frost surrounding when minutes creep On skittish feet, wary of time’s upkeep When their passion’s reckless young Romeos Discard stoic gray for flashy road shows What impatient eyes fail to calculate... A serene gleaned as the wisdom of snow Lands...

Marking Time
Is your humanity held captive by your intelligence Does your soul remain imprisoned for a self-inflicted crime Are the wishes you made, abandoned, prisoners of the wind Is the cell locked deep within you —on whose walls you mark the time (Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2019)...

Whisper in my ear the beauty of your soul, Long been longing to hear your musical thoughts. The tone of your body bewitched me completely, The flow of your energy driving me crazy.

Marking Time

Planning keeps things flowing So no matter where we’re going, We’ll accomplish so much more within these rules.

It always used to be that I looked forward to the coming years... and alll it seems like I am doing now is marking time... marking time... As the clock marches on to the beat of its own drum and my heart now seems to be strangely out of beat and it seems that I'm not living... I am only marking time Minutes mark the hours and hours...

Marking Time
Twilight found me standing at my window. Waiting for something new. The same question in my head. What is my destiny? Am I never to be allowed to breath the sweet scent of Loves flower? Am I to forever live with the scar of my one youthful wrong deed. I can not smile as I back away from My lonely ...
