Fair enough you left
Yes forever! but you did
You placed your self made
Self to my face
Thinking it's fun.
Bad enough we dined,
You suited yourself to taste
I did hold for a stretched . . .

Without a name you are
nor are you with a purpose
no subject chosen for your virtue
you are more precious than my person
poetic verses
how i form thee in your anonymity
unsure of what . . .

At the end of my life, I live,
And dream my way back
Through a thousand acres of time
To when I sat small and unalone,
Listening to the whispers
Of unloved maple leaves.
At the end of my life, . . .

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 meant . . .

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
Beneath . . .

A lop-sided moon
Shows its pock-marked face,
Smirking in a sky bereft of cloud.
While winter trees stretch,
Twisting their limbs toward the sky,
Lifting their last blood dried leaves in silence, . . .

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?
Because . . .

" What are you willing to sacrifice?"
He wasn't sure I heard so he asked me twice,
And I had no idea what I should say,
But he needed an answer and he wanted it today.
For years my life . . .

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 . . .

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, concrete steps . . .

Lying on my back, gazing at the sky I think of you and I can fly Soaring high over oceans so blue, This makes no sense, but it is oh so true.
In loving you there is no in between. When we're together . . .

You are the ray of light in my dusty sky. Some days your're the only reason I don't cry. At other times you'd best believe, You're the reason I remember to breathe. Spending time with you gives me hope. . . .

Haven't slept in several nights.
Just been sitting here in my blue bedroom,
Slurping cups of cold coffee,
Chain-smoking stale cigarettes.
And thinking about Sonya.
She came to me again that . . .

Yesterday I was okay, but today I must dwell in the past,
Reliving the painful memories of a love that didn't last.
Today I need to feel lonely, today I must give up my pride.
Today I will crawl . . .

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, . . .

I am reposting this because it is really close to the anniversary of my mother's death and this year I am really feeling it. I miss her a lot and thought maybe this would help a bit

I dabble with words, have read masters
In this arena of lingua franca
Am convinced after years of pursuit
The perfect poem is yet unearthed
Have often been moved to dismal tears
No eulogy the . . .

Just a little longer I say
I don't want to hang up the phone.
With the dial tone comes loneliness
And I don't want to be alone.
Five minutes more I say,
Holding tightly to my line. . . .

Love for you burns within me, But I am lost in the shadow of a dream. How could you forget? And leave me to wander without wandering, Unable to move on, unable to let go. Don't you know? Recognize . . .

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 . . .
