When I hear your heart beat
I know you are near
embracing
me
comforting
supporting
me
When I hear your heart beat.

When I Hear Your Heart Beat
August 22, 2025
Let Me See
August 20, 2025
Let me see
what
could be
Let me see
what
was
In
between
I live
Being
the best
I can
Living, giving
all
my love.

You Hear Me Call
August 19, 2025
You hear me
call
you see me be
but yet
together
we’ll never
be
Our heart’s love
won’t last
hands will shake
forsake
all that
could have been
but
didn’t last
Please hear
in
your heart
my voice saying
Adieu
we must
go
our separate ways
be
forever
forever apart.

Where Do Hummingbirds Fly
August 18, 2025
Where do hummingbirds
fly
when they fly away?
Where do they
stay
drink all day?
Who do they know
to
sleep secure?
Do you
know
know for sure?

Hold Them Close
August 15, 2025
Hold them close
and
very tight
Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light
Let no soul travel
the path taken
all alone
No, never
never alone.

How Can You See
August 14, 2025
How can you
see
what’s near
dear
to me?
Standing
way off
talking to someone
that’s not
me
How can you
how can you
see?

Couldn’t Be
August 13, 2025
You
couldn’t be
what I needed
you
to be
No
you were not
But
was I what
you craved
asked me
to be?
I think not
Because
I
too
couldn’t be.

Falling Down
August 12, 2025
I saw
you
falling down
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around
No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake
Only
falling
falling down.

I Hear You Call
August 11, 2025
I hear you call
I do
I hear your voice
in
that
so sincere way
Say
the words
I want to hear
help me
thru
not only this day
I hear your call
you’re here
with
me
Nothing
gets better
we’re together
just
you and me.

Me
August 8, 2025
After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me
I found
Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.
