POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I am on a journey… with my work, my explorations, and a few sad stories. I travel with a suitcase full of outrageous blessings. I am on a quest for truth, beauty and quiet joy. I am an artist, a writer, an explorer. ~unknown~

mistakes made are mine
not to be weighed and measured
i own their burden

too often her pen shakes
mimicking her voice
if she could produce the words
that strangle on her tongue
those who choose to attack
the very substance of her happiness
those moments that seem to
come too far apart already
how shallow some are
with the recklessness of a faulty gun
shooting blindly with accusations
and they wonder why she hides
mimicking her voice
if she could produce the words
that strangle on her tongue
those who choose to attack
the very substance of her happiness
those moments that seem to
come too far apart already
how shallow some are
with the recklessness of a faulty gun
shooting blindly with accusations
and they wonder why she hides

Namaste
since before my divorce
and then opening up
to losing someone,
moving three times in
nineteen months
i have tended to not
socialize
my mom is worried
for me
not having some sort
of community
she recommends church
i hate to disappoint
but for myself
i have found that to be
an unhealthy community
and one which I parted ways with
at seventeen
for me the trees
are the largest and most honest
community in which i prefer
to get lost
~Nature is my...

shades of brown cluster
clinging to smothered branches
their last flight pending

she longs for the day
her pen spills happier things
may it come too soon

fear creeps up her spine
the aloneness overwhelms
paperbagging breath

incoming ...
air
thick and heavy
wet blanket
pressure changed
slightly at first
not many may have sensed it
but it was as if the earth slowed
just a bit,
wind
rushed in
cooling
refreshing breeze
suddenly, behind it
first flash
lit up the entire room
clap of thunder
roared
bursting the night sky
into a
water fall

w.r.i.t.i.n.g.
i mean you know
cause
i get bored
of the noises in my head
muse?
like hey
does any of it mean
anything?
why?
to whom?
do my words
really have the ability
to touch
places?
where my fingers
have no business
being
like if i am encroaching
in your thought
area
i must apologize
for sending messages
that were not meant for you
is it my fault
you thought they were?

he came beautifully wrapped
a rainbow on a dark day
beacon of light that filled
the rooms of her heart
laughter that rustled
the dust off of her shelves
making her take deep breaths
her lungs needed
that kind of filling
his touch warmer than the hottest
summer day
never leaving her feeling burned
just loved
like the sun loves the flowers
his blue eyes caressed her
a light ocean breeze
sparkle of the stars
he was her "Sky Man"
(she's not sure when she started to call him that) ...

Life goes on they tell you ...
four years ago
she was sure of so many things
the man by her side
filled with so much hope
for their future
dreams would escape
his lips
through beautiful smiles
flashing eyes beaming
with enthusiasm
and love
he would proclaim,
where ever she was was home
that he had waited his whole life to
find her
she felt like he was her oxygen
finally able to breathe
after being suffocated for so long
she's tried so desperately to hold
onto that feeling ..
