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~

emotions pour like the rain
beautiful cloud burst

Fire and Ash
he was beautiful
watching him from afar
i knew
we were destined
we met on a dance floor
my hand on his chest
moving slowly
our eyes
pulling us in
he smelled of smoke
and fire
cherry apple
i could not breathe
enough of him in
so gently we fed the heat
letting him find his fire
within me
and it was beautiful
over time,
i couldn't fan
what was no longer there
his fire burned hotter
died quicker
not because he didn't
love me...

perhaps
she should stop overthinking
just go with the adventure
of meeting someone new
perhaps
even if it means going
somewhat out of her
comfort zone
even
when she agrees to plans
perhaps
being his friend might turn out
to be really wonderful
his response,
"I can't wait"

Blank looks good on paper
she sits
contemplating the pen
paper sits under palms
remembering when
she would draw
around her hand
creating Turkey's
nothing else is coming
to gather thoughts
on blankness
just the beauty of another
empty page

Home ?
she finds herself once again
traveling towards a known destination
(this could be the last time)
where people who care about her
(sort of)
beckon for her return

where people who care about her

she sits contemplating
dark earth bare
it's structure diverse
worms are busily chewing, burrowing
their slippery skin
turning over rich soil
SEEDS OF HOPE
in her hands she holds
many seeds
tossing them to their soil grave
showering them
in a gentle bath
they are swallowed whole
THE BURSTING
hard shells soften in dewey turf
cracking open like an egg
slowly, deliberately, for days
throwing hairy roots into dirt
with the force of a bullet
seed now a...

damn sometimes it's very steep

I've been wondering ...
... a lot lately
it seems
why i bother myself
about waking
or sleeping for that matter
for making and unmaking
a bed that is only mine
why go through all the trouble
of everyday motions
when your not sharing them
with anyone
it really is a bother
there are even days
when i awake
and my first thought is
DAMN
