Delicately
I embrace thee
Softly
I caress thee
While with my whole heart
I unconditionally
Love thee.

Feelings Are Hard To Decipher
May 13, 2021Feelings are hard to decipher
anger, hurt, happiness or joy
what are they trying to say?
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll know
I’ll have answers
not known, understood
today.

Writing Comes Easy

Writing comes easy
It’s the meaning that is hard.

We Keep Secrets
April 30, 2021
We keep secrets
We hold them tight
Never exposed
To see the morning light.
We keep secrets
Silent, secretive
They speak not a word
Sometimes to the grave
They’re carried, never heard.
We keep secrets
Untold secrets
We grasp them tight
Feeling the burden
The weight not light.

No One Told
March 2, 2021
No one told, no one said
the secrets hidden deep
beneath my childhood bed.
Monsters and thoughts
so deep
didn’t make sense
to a little child trying to sleep.
Only my mother and father
could keep
those things below
my mattress and my sheets.
Letting me just spend the night
counting sheep.

Thinking About, Remembering When
March 1, 2021
Thinking about
remembering when
life was easy
and
very different
Was then just a step
I tread upon
to reach the sky
and
beyond?
Did I obtained
my desires
or
should I sit back,
sit down
and
begin again?

Courting Life, Fleeing Death
February 24, 2021
Courting life, fleeing death
Time passes
Taking no regard for
The rest.
Holding close, pushing aside
All things
I love, despise.
In tomorrow
The world may change
Leaving everything
Just the same.

Heaven Helps And Holds Me Close
February 23, 2021
Heaven helps
Holds me close
Doors open
Others close
Life goes on
Changing most
Where I least expect it.

Together
December 29, 2020
We may not be together
but we won’t be far apart
and
together we’ll be again
when this misery does depart.

Stories Told
November 26, 2020
Stories told
Are the stories
I tell.
Are they true
Or did I just say words
That make the story
Told well?
Secrets revealed
Bad parts left out
Who knows
How can you tell?
Embellished or truthful
Telling a tale
To remember.
Not because
It’s told correctly
But told well.
