Coffee taste
Lingers
The aroma whirls
Round my senses
No
Other feeling
Neither
Happiness
Nor
Dread
Can accommodate
Like this
In
My sleepy
Morning head.

In Retrospect
March 1, 2024
In retrospect
I see so clearly
The problems I had
Answers
That evaded me
In retrospect
I could have
Done things
Differently
In retrospect
I know my life
Could have been
Changed drastically
But
In retrospect
Then I would not be
The person I’ve become
I need to be
In retrospect.

Hold Your Horses
January 12, 2024
Hold your horses
Be at peace
Let the world pass by
One hour at a time
No rush
No strong words
Do you speak.

Memories Last
January 5, 2024
Memories last
to give us space to remember
those gone from this place.
Holding close, holding long
remembering all the snuggles, caresses
Thru the night so long.
Heartache cries missing those loved
now my heart’s alone
a empty place.
I can’t, won’t forget
your loving soul’s a memory
all that I have left.

No Matter What Happens To Me
December 22, 2023
No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.
Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

Kaboom, Kaboom
December 1, 2023
Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate
Kaboom, Kaboom
The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go
Kaboom, Kaboom.

Caught In The Midst
November 24, 2023
Caught in the midst
of
all I see
drifting
with the spirit that
guides me.
When my destination
comes into view
will I stand or run
or
will I
wait for you?

When I Hear My Heart Pounding
November 17, 2023
When I hear my heart
Pounding
My breath takes away
All the fear I had living
Past yesterday
My feet planted in heaven
My arms embracing love
Now I can face tomorrow
Knowing
I had you my dear
Sweet love.

The World Turns
November 3, 2023
The world turns, it goes
Then comes back around
No breath is taken
Except on its sacred ground.
The future is hidden
The past is the past
Nothing now will forever
Last.
Turning slowly, turning fast
The world is ours
Hold on
It’ll be a blast.

Help Me Hear

Help me hear the voices say
Wondrous words
Spoke in love and kindness
Now and everyday.
