POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I wrote short stories at 7, poems by 12. For more than twelve years I was incapable of writing or singing - I was emotionally closed off to everything except living. Now, at 40, I've regained my voices and there is poetry and song in my life once more.
Not a Typical Ever After
Happy ever endings
constantly changing
Shifting bits of color
in kaleidoscopic view
Glance away just a moment
the pattern entirely new
Lose focus, forget dreams
perish picture perfect thoughts
Stop chasing ideals that obstruct
for that false fairy-tale finale
Imperfections transcend
What concludes may be the start
of a life of joy neverending
All that is needed is audacity
surrender theories that constrict
vast exquisite possibilities

Child Mine
Precious jewel of my heart
you possess unrivaled strength
Your mind is a prism, refracting truth
Agonizingly simple and yet
there are those who try to obfuscate
Dear child, walk fearless
It is in the between the lines
where adults try to read
failing to appreciate you.
Your beauty, not of physicality
rarest countenance of intellect
a treasure beyond compare
yours as easy as breathing
you possess unrivaled strength

It is in the between the lines

rarest countenance of intellect
a treasure beyond compare

Emotion vs Logic
Emotion is Logic’s failsafe
from flying too far gone
Black and white make so little sense
What of all the beauty of gray?
Variations, completely atypical
revealed when focused upon
with eyes open and heart free.
