POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just write what I feel. What bubbles up in the moment. Usually when I'm dealing with extreme emotions. It is such a great thing to release hard experiences. And I am so moved to share in others lives.

My Own Worst Enemy
I am so tired of giving up before I even try
glorifying my failures
I've beat myself down so low that I don't bother getting up
just stay prone
and wallow in self inflicted misery
I've been here so long that the muck has dried on my skin
hardened into a weight
exhausting to carry
splashing into my eyes
clouding my vision
nothing appeals to me
not even things I love
to do
my desires have been muted
pleasure no longer pleasing
but the Spring breeze is blowing
soft scents awakening ...

Her Eyes
looking into her beautiful brown eyes always gives me peace
so very loving and beseeching me to accept her loyal affection
she never asks for anything
content with the things I provide
when an illness strikes
she is by my side
ready to keep me safe
I see concern in her face
but at the same time it radiates raw love
always my steadfast companion
ready to do anything I propose
everyone comments on how beautiful her eyes are
and how well behaved she is
but she has a spunky playfulness

Dream Car
so many cars to choose from
but I am only looking for one
cannot be what I see at every red light
you know, the ones that make sense
economical, affordable
and have the weak, little engine with a wind up key
Those are not for me!
then there are the "muscle cars"
branded so by their maker
overblown and cocky talked up and advertised to the drivers going through a mid-life crisis
Those are not for me!
I just want something that is unique
has it's own specs and upgrades
with an attractive body ...

Liberation
I CAN DO THIS!!
withdrawn and confined
stress presses down
and the darkness invades
a prisoner of my own mind
it is such a misnomer that depression is silent
Damn! I long for silence
my thoughts multiply and they storm through my existance
overwhelmed would be such an understatement
paralyzed is a better description
afraid of living tomorrow
because of the mistakes from yesterday
the only path to freedom
and escape from the...

Just Breathe
no worries of tomorrow
no baggage from yesterday
soaking in the moment
intrigue and anticipation
lurking in my mind
even the radio
brings him to mind
involuntary smile
waves of adrenaline radiating through my being
breathe him in as the next breath comes
savor his essence
in the soft breeze blowing gently against my face
slowly as the clouds drift across the blue firmament
the butterfly comes near
to share him as I breathe him out
nature is
here to remind me
...

True Love
Life is cruel
we win some
but more oft we lose
I do not get to choose what my legacy will be
will I be remembered for the life I have led
or for the way I die
Of all of mankind's virtues
love is the greatest
love freely, without restraint
never selfishly withhold a smile
For your kindness may be the only light in someone's day
You may be the only one who speaks in the grocery store
Kindness is free
So give it lavishly
we win some
but more oft we lose
I do not get to choose what my legacy will be
will I be remembered for the life I have led
or for the way I die
Of all of mankind's virtues
love is the greatest
love freely, without restraint
never selfishly withhold a smile
For your kindness may be the only light in someone's day
You may be the only one who speaks in the grocery store
Kindness is free
So give it lavishly

Daddy
16 June 2019
You were the first man my heart loved
you showed me all that a man should be
it was your model I used when choosing the one for me
So many sacrifices
day in, day out
year after year
working a job you hated
but your smiles for us never abated
The thousands and thousands
of precious memories
teaching me to shoot
and drive a "three on the tree"
How to tear down a motor, change a tire, I can do it all
fix the plumbing, wire a ceiling fan or cut the yard ...

Sweet Daughter
9/30
NOTICE: Double posting due to illness
Oh beautiful child
each one of our three
don't ever be bound by rejection
for there is a secret no one tells
for every "No!" there are three "Yeses" to be heard
one more vibrant,
two more fragrant
thrice more beautiful to behold
never withhold your song when one needs to hear
for everyone needs music
especially those with no ears
don't hide your light under a bushel as they say
I've tried and it never keeps you from being seen
just starts a...

The Nurse Curse
7/30
get some rest they say as they name themselves nurse
but in actuality they are more akin to a sleep slaying curse
pharmaceutical goodies they do bring
but they also come hard with a stick and a sting
and the ones with no personality are even worse
always frowning no talking just short of terse
no laughter or smiles always so serious and curt
carrying your meds as if she were a communion burse
if her skills lie in making one better vs hurt
I think she'd serve better at driving a hearse
...
