POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Simple Love Letter
A thousand words that mean to love
and still when I feel it
that is not enough.
To be in love on this day
with this man
begs for a new word,
one that feels warm on my lips
like a gentle kiss before sleep
one that captures the quickened beat of my heart
when looking into your eyes
one that takes my breath away as I fall
into something so beautiful
a word that means longing when the door closes
and time apart begins.
That must be why there are a thousand words for love
because it means a thousand beats
a thousand...
and still when I feel it
that is not enough.

into something so beautiful
a word that means longing when the door closes
and time apart begins.
That must be why there are a thousand words for love
because it means a thousand beats
a thousand...

What Would I Give
I would give up
my sight
to hear you voice
What would I need
of hearing
if I could see
your face?
No words would cross
my lips
ever again
If only
you
could return
to me.

Heartbeat Existence
Do you see
how losing you
has broken me?
I'd rather not breathe
on days
like these
Missing you in every
heartbeatt,
I exist small
and weak
For one more hug
to catch your scent
A moment traded
for all days spent
Irreaplacable love
lost
becomes
the emptiness
at unpayable cost
who am I to find joy
or peace?
when all that i am
curls within
wishing to cease
reach for meaning
so life can move on
all empty searching
without
my son.

On the Couch
My heart sits just
a few feet away
I could stare at him
all day.
Shoulders strong
heartbeats true
My son
do you know
I belive in you?
As you've grown
I watch you sleep
I keep years
and see
all you were
meant to be.

Because You are Gone
I look like I am alive
but
really I am just
killing time.
