you're left
without a soul
naked and barren
no one to hold
no one to acknowledge
that you were a part of them
sadly
the shadows take you
they aren't picky
about who they hang with
and . . .

I know how the prisoner feels
When he's locked up in the pen.
I feel the longing in his soul
To be outside again.
I see the sag of his shoulders
As he sits there reminiscing,
And . . .

In just a moment
I knew---But I was lost in your eyes
So I said it didn't matter,
That you were never mine to keep.
I basked in the heaven of your smile
Ignoring the hell in my heart, . . .

i have faith
in the innocence of my daughters
small and wondering
they are soft
their hair is perfect
god save the man
who tries to date them
i have faith
in the woman
who raises her children . . .

torrential tides
of people
moving in and out
of life
some good
some bad
but always there
respite
serenity
a harbor out of reach
a nice quiet lagoon
out of the way
to reflect
myself and . . .

Left alone,
locked in the past.
Forgotten friendships
buried,
Never meant to last.
Left alone
Time standing still
Unforeseen,
this bitter pill.
Left alone,
The sky is gray
It wasn't . . .

At first, the sun was shining.
Its warmth encased my head,
But gray clouds appeared
And without warning
My heart grew cold.
I watched your retreating back
And wondered when . . .

Poppa was there
in the "big one"
he was happily drinking in a pub
san francisco, california
and his unit called
to the front lines
i don't know the hell he'd seen
just that it . . .

So small, so beautiful, so cuddly as can be
So ticklish, so helpless, so just like me
So warm and nice and so brand new
So full of smiles through and through
My darling little baby boy or girl
Something . . .

“…There’s something wrong,” cried the boy in the corner. He had been standing in the darkness cowering in fear waiting for an outstretched arm that never came.

Lonely teardrops
snake down her cheeks
as she sits alone in a crowd
breaking down the barriers
between life and death
while watching her life's blood
drip slowly down a rusty drainpipe
She . . .

I see the clouds rolling in.
Today it looks like rain,
But I'm ready for a downpour
Today I want to feel the pain.
Is it cold and dark where you are?
Do your own eyes drizzle tears?

They lived as married
For so many years.
Now she lives in a bucket
filled with her own tears.
She gave him everything
That she had to give
Then she took his life
so that she could live.
Now she . . .

I am writing this to help explain why I have not been doing as much returning
comments as I usually do, because for the past couple of weeks or so, I
have been doing the leg work . . .

(Inspired by listening to music and relaxing, I wrote a lot of poems in one day, from various perspectives. This would be one of them - enjoy!)
Every inch of you
Documented and recorded
In my extensive . . .

unconditional love
the comfort of a childs nestled head
on my chest
school plays and sports
chasing monsters
back into the closet
wiping tears
to scold
and to praise
to deny a nap
to play chutes . . .

I walked to the edge of the world
And looked into the bubbling sea
Trying to find the thing that I'd lost
Searching for the elusive me.
All along I knew I was drowning,
Hard to breathe under . . .

The hourglass was now empty
And suddenly she was out of time,
So she walked away from a life
That no longer seemed to rhyme.
The sand had slipped through her fingers
Through a crack in the bottom . . .

I saw you pass today, and your smile is still the same,
But you looked right through me, never spoke my name.
I guess that means we're over, you truly have moved on
But how can you forget . . .
