POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My mother wrote poems when she was younger, mostly about love. Later she returned to poetry to express thoughts and desires that she'd squelched over time. She passed the torch to me (her daughter) when she entered treatment.

Less Might Be Best
A tender touch will gain you much.
One soft word will get you heard.
A shorter kiss will get you missed.
If you hold my hand, I might join your plan.

Song of My Leaving
I've lived my life in boxes,
ordered and made to size.
I've known what some might pass for love,
so often reduced to lies.
I'm no saint in where the truth is told.
I've played parts that paid me well.
I've broken hearts and endured the same
and lived in depression's cell.
Freedom beckoned, so I had to leave
what had been the love of my life.
I could not breath and my spirit wept,
until I was no longer his wife.
