At the door. At the door.
I sink and die
Or stare off into space
longer than is necessary .
At the window, louder now.
Seeping in to me.
Malevolent intentions
The loss of all remaining . . . more

In the park
a chubby pink child
rests on a bench
in her mother's arms,
eating long strands of blond hair
in affectionate clumps,
and staring at embracing lovers
who smile back.

The Rhyme and Reason of Poetry
"A poem is an idea caught in the act of dawning." --Robert Frost

Walking
One foot forward
Eye to toe, toe to ground
Wind caresses sun touches cheek
Step stepping into the moment; breathe, breathe
Deer lifts its head, looks, rabbit runs
Crow flies . . . more

Ordinarily it wouldn't have happened,
But the booze went to my head.
I lost my inhibitions
And I wound up in your bed.
You looked into my eyes
And lit my body's fire
Pressed your lips . . . more

I used to keep my heart
In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.
It was safe there.
You came along one day
bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box . . . more

At the foot of a tree
Brown wisps of memory
Clutter the ground
and choke the grass
But the tree stands unconcerned.
Gnarled and wrinkled from ages of wind and sun,
It is old with the wisdom . . . more

Alone in the darkness,
I stand at my window
and gaze down on my deserted block,
barely lit by a single street lamp.
Suddenly, I see him,
The old man sitting lonely
On the September cold, . . . more

I watch you walk away
And I get scared you won't come back,
So my systems start to get muddled
and my life gets knocked off track.
Deep down I know you love me,
But I always want you near. . . . more

On a quiet and sticky summer night
When sleep is elusive,
An unexpected breeze
Wafts across my sweat dampened body,
Prodding me from my bed
And I think of you.
As I wander . . . more

It is a hot Sunday morning.
My restless eyes move around the chapel
And focus on the old man
Who sits across the aisle
In a homemade wheelchair.
I wonder what he thinks and feels
As he blinks . . . more

It is you who starts my morning.
I think of you at the close of each day.
You are part of everything I do.
Your permeate each word that I say.
You're the smile that lights my face
And the . . . more

This is something completely out of the box for me. I've been working on it for a while and I kept getting stuck. I guess I have finished it, but I am not sure if I did what I wanted . . . more

I am lost in my own head
With no one to ease my fears,
As I lie alone in bed
And suppress my bitter tears.
I have a tainted heart
And the whole world just seems gray
How do I even start
trying . . . more

My flower bowl lies shattered.
Tiny pieces of delicate blue
Are scattered across the floor
And the painted yellow rose
No longer has a stem.
I wanted to fill my bowl with violets, . . . more

The highway blew away the town years ago,
like dandelion feathers on a breath
fossils is all that's left
Brittle things that got nowhere to go

I think about you throughout the day
At night I lie awake and pray
That at some point you'll think of me
And know how special "we" could be.
But I can never reveal how much
I lust . . . more

I waited for you with bated breath
In hopes that once again,
We could share that oneness
we knew when we were friends.
But has time and distance erased
The closeness we once knew? . . . more
