Confronting ShadowsOn a dusky evening long time ago,
When shadows huddled at every corner,
When rain had gone and birds had roosted,
You held me close and whispered in my ear;
“In your eyes I see, the blue of the sky,
In your soul, you hold the depth of the seas,
Love swells, like tides on rise,
My life, I vow,...

Winter's WishI reached a hand
Into the snow
The chilly ice
Once vibrant glow
It's Winter's wish
A painful spree
The absent warmth
Of no degree
Although I try
To stay alive
Your touch confirms
No love could thrive
Until the crystals
Of your heart
Can beat a path
Back to the start
I'll leave a message
By transient hand
No passer by
Shall understand
A heart-shaped sign
To melt...

T'was the Night Before Christmas- Not for ContestEverything was ready for Christmas Day.
New toys were wrapped for the children to play.
We had all decorated the Christmas Tree.
Gifts in pretty paper were placed carefully.
The stockings were hung.
We had rehearsed carols to be sung.
We were all snug in bed.
The children wishing it was morning instead.
When suddenly Father ran out in the snow.
For what, we...

I miss you so much
Close friends don't know the pain I feel
My broken heart can never heal
Your sudden death was long ago
The pain I feel, close friends don't know
I can't forget your dying breath
Was long ago your sudden death
To think of you makes me upset
Your dying breath I can't forget
Alone each night, I feel so blue
Makes me upset to...

Saturday morning RoutinesSaturday Morning Routines**
The familiar smell of wood smoke slowly filled my bedroom, wrapping around me like a comforting blanket. Through my window, I caught sight of the warm, flickering lights from the flambeau, casting dancing shadows on the walls. It was in that moment that I knew it was time to leave the warmth of...

Still in the Good MemoriesDon’t know why we came so close,
Why time chose us—no one knows.
We gave a year, we shared the days,
In little moments, in quiet ways.
Today I held your photo near,
And every memory felt so clear.
I don’t wish to go back in time,
But hating you would feel like a crime.
Whatever we had, it wasn't all wrong,
Some parts...

Carry youI carry you with me
Everywhere that I go.
In my eyes,
In my smile,
In the way I walk,
How I talk,
Even how I act and dress.
I am something of you merged,
Bits of what you were,
Pieces of what you are,
Snippets of what
..you could have been,
And as I continue,
I will become something of you never seen.
I carry...

Letters from CampI found a bunch of letters
Dated 1993,
Which were written by my son from camp
And forwarded to me.
It was his first time staying there,
For one month, in a bunk.
He was away, with new routines
And he was in a funk.
His letters said he missed us
And was homesick just at night.
Aside from that, it seemed that he
Was managing...

The days pass, the weeks passCould we not at least exchange some crummy
anecdotes about our recent pasts
some poorly recalled bus stop or shop incidents
semi memories of there was this time when
I'll take any half digested subvocal passing thoughts
and an inappropriate and unvoiced yet sincerely held
opinion which you know is safe with me
Throw me a crumb here and I'll toss you

one dayMy mind is a raging storm
Of never ending thoughts
And constant 'what if's
That chase away dreams
And plague the mind.
Not a day goes by
That you are never there,
You've come to occupy the space
As though it were your own.
And through every tear,
Heartache and moment of pain,
Just know the day
I reach Heaven
If I am so allowed,
You...

MissingI'm lost
Without your hand
To hold
The walk
To school of life
Less bold
You vanished
In a Puff.
So quickly
My heart
So sad
My tummy sickly
No stop
No hug
The speeding car
Whisked you
Away
No au revoir
The color
In my life
Now blue
My hand
So cold.
I'm missing you

summer blueWhat’s wrong with me? I’ve been asking myself this all week.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I weigh questions coldly and logically. Then it hit to me.. it’s summer, silly and I'm in classes!
A typical summer would find me tanned, sunburned, greased and unkempt, like a happy, sandy, beach hobo, my hair would...

Standing either side of a door that is closed
One might feel the other, just an inch away
As two hearts that appear to be juxtaposed
Just a whispered word, that the other might say
Would be enough, despite the obstructed view
Perhaps a touch must wait for another day
Feelings both felt and expressed, are ever true
Love permeates even the...

Missing YouHow do you process when all is a blur?
How can I take in the fact that you're no longer there?
Yesterday was normal. Well, as far as normal goes.
What will tomorrow bring? Nobody knows!
Not so long ago, I thought I knew my path ahead.
Now everything has changed and it has vanished instead!
I was a carer. My...
