The familiar aroma of the
Spices of onions, garlic thyme,
basil, ginger, black peppers
and and cinnamon.
These are triggers in active
response to Mama's soup
This is my home coming.
Home sweet home.

I still see her ghost.
She's at the woodstove cooking and baking.
Perfumes still roam the air.

missing person poster
a familiar face
Steven stares at it
this child has been missing for over thirty years
Steven only saw one photo of himself at this age
He remembers staring at it when he was three
He was held by someone, but her face had been taken out
He only saw her arm
His father got rid of that photograph
today Steven is staring at this missing person poster
it says this child was taken from his mother when he was three
He does not remember a mother
This poster makes him nervous
He tries to put it out of his mind
but it keeps calling out to him in his sleep
they say …
you cant take it with you
but you took so many little jewels
when you left -
your smile
your pure, unqualified love
your creativity and expression
your engaging mind
your encouragement, your empathy
your extraordinary patience …
but what I miss the most is
your exceedingly unlimited kindness
and … our talks -
about anything and nothing
and everything …
there was ne’er a doubt my heart was yours
and yours, of course, was mine
the truly ironic thing is
that we conversed SO much -
for many hours on end
when not a single, solitary word …
was ever needed.
oh, how I miss you, Mom
like a clown …
misses tears.
My dusty box of memories
can be compared to
Aladdins wonderful lamp
Yellow brass with a shiny
and elegant appearance
Everyone has a genie
that resides in the subconscious
When the lid is opened
it smells of jasmine and rose petals
feminine and unique
Feeds my heart with
the scent she loved
It did not belong to a royal person
but my dear mother
She was a woman who spent time
finding the right outfit
with different bijouterie
A wide range of jewelry, bracelets,
earrings, necklaces and rings
As an aged photo album -
I let the jewelry
run through my fingers as a rosary
Dear memories flow
A young babe was born in the middle of the month of May.
She lost her mother in a sad way days before her first birthday.
To this day and from now on we miss her in every single way.
Sitting under this Weeping Willow
tree, I think of yesterdays gone by.
The special times I spent with my
Mom and Dad, I reminisce and cry.
They're no longer here, God took
them to a better place, away from
me.
Mom said," If I ever leave, look for
me in the clouds my son, that's
where I'll always be."
Now I go through life wishing I had
spent more time with them.
Wishing, I could go back in time
and relive my life again.
On a beautiful sunny day when those
beautiful clouds roam free.
I see the outline of my Mother's face,
like she said, my Mother, Anais.
My dearest Mom, now fifty-two years gone-
although to me, it seems like yesterday.
You were too young to leave this Earth at dawn
that dark, regretful, cold September day.
I feel your presence more than I can say
because I know your spirit lives in me-
yet miss together times I hoped would be
had not, your death left each of us alone.
Dear Mom, please know that not a day does flee
that I don't miss the smile and love I've known.
Wanted to write you a poem for mother's day
yet with all the words I can say
nothing seems to be good enough
to express the love we had for you
each time I write the tears flow
miss you like crazy mom
so make this short and sweet
mom miss you each and every day
love you more than ever
more than words can ever say
Happy heavenly mother's day.
Happy Mother's Day to all mom's
and grandmother's past and present.
Back fifty-three long years ago, she left;
my Mom- at the young age of fifty-five.
Yet, she is always with me every day;
my heart and memories keep her alive.
Three growing grandkids she embraced and loved;
her gentle heart they shared for just a while.
Then, years flew by- two generations grew-
to crown her Great-Great Grandma with a smile.
I feel her presence in the things I do,
as part of her still grows and lives in me;
and everything she taught me carries on,
as I, a Great-Grandmother now, can see.
In clouds, I often see her gentle face
and know that she's with God, and not her grave-
for she's my Saint in Heaven- there to be
the inspiration I will always crave.
Wondering where you are tonight?
Can't feel the warmth of your sight
Your wings that cuddle me under the moonlight
Your heat that incubates me in spotlight.
I'm a shelled-duckling not so pretty
My little heart beats so fast and plenty
Nearness of you I pray for each day
Your body to stay beside me all day!
My heart was seized by grief; for days, the tears would flow.
No blow could be more shocking. My sweet Mama died
On Labor Day, September 5, two thousand five.
Precious memories of her deep love bring me a smile~~
This Labor Day, September 5 of twenty-two.

Your face is splayed across newspapers all over our state
I dream of finding you and returning you to your mother.
This is 1977, and you came up missing five blocks from my house.
That was forty-five years ago, and I still think of you.
Wishing I could be the one to save you.
Mama been gone 48 years now
Yeah! I can still hear her whispering In my ear now
Son you need to put on your jacket, gloves, boots and scarf
Because it's snowing and cold outside
Mama went on a rollercoaster ride with me
Up an down winding in and out we did climb twist and turns
We laugh and cried while soaring through the skies
Mama she was there when I fell and skin my knee
She pulled out the stinger when I got stung by a bee
She was married to my dad, Joseph Lee

He left
without leaving a note.....
His mother is still waiting
hoping,
praying
one day he will return
