Poet Introduction
To the world you are only one, yet to one you are the world...
Mental Mother
bedroom door flies open
shes got that look
like shes the only bitch that matters
shes offering money for all of us to leave
be gone, stay gone
come back last
$20 for the winner
why did she have kids?
only to toss us out before coffee
cocaine and breakfast?
yet prior to running out the door
she grabs you
makes you sit
at the kitchen table
the dreaded kitchen table
this is where she wants you to know shes the best
its all about her
her narcissistic...

my so called "Mother"
I forgive you
I will never understand
I still even love you
even though you dont deserve it
Yet you gave me life
For that, I thank you
Without you
my own kids wouldnt exist
nor my marriage
So, thank you....
But at the same time, fuck you...

Believe
It was when I was at my darkest
Your light helped me see
As I find myself the ugliest
You make me see beauty
You helped me see myself
Beautiful
Full of Light
Youve killed the darkness deep within
You make me see.....Me.....
Thank you, I love you
Your light helped me see
As I find myself the ugliest
You make me see beauty
You helped me see myself
Beautiful
Full of Light
Youve killed the darkness deep within
You make me see.....Me.....
Thank you, I love you

Snowflakes
Beautiful
stunning
snowflakes
like tiny magic crystals
I try to catch them
then make a wish
sometimes I dance around
when theres a huge flurry
I love the beautiful silence
with my gorgeous snowflakes

Falling Leaves
Its not too soon
let nature have her way
these leaves falling
are so very beautiful
Excellent gorgeousness
all the fall colors
always a favorite
like being on the lake
Ill miss summer,
yet may the beautiful leaves fall....

Hibiscus
flowers so full
your blooms are happiness
the color I picked
makes me so happy
fuchsia is my favorite color
I will dream of your petals
once the have fallen to the ground
your blooms are happiness
the color I picked
makes me so happy
fuchsia is my favorite color
I will dream of your petals
once the have fallen to the ground

Ground too Deep
The Henchman of caffeine
have taken me hostage
I beg of you, let me go
I am not worthy
I cant take the heart palpations
the jitters
the sleepless nights
maybe these Henchmen
should bring
me a whiskey instead.....

Hopeful Butterflies
That fluttering feeling
in your gut
Like Christmas morning
when you were 6 years old
Hoping to see what you wished for
...And there it was...
That feeling of said butterflies
when you looked up
and saw him staring at you, smiling
wishing neither of you would look away
...And then you hoped...
Having hope
during all the different stages of a butterfly's life
lead to me love, marriage and motherhood
I will always be grateful
for the hopeful butterflies
I first felt the day...

Flower Garden
The colors are so brilliant
they make me smile
some can make me weep
some have been plated for those that are gone
and some for those
that never were
Pinks, purples
yellows
oranges
blues with white
deep red
even blacks
I mend the soil, I keep it neat
I remove said weeds
and preen where I see fit
all I know is that this flower garden
holds many memories of those here and gone
they make me smile
some can make me weep
some have been plated for those that are gone
and some for those
that never were
Pinks, purples
yellows
oranges
blues with white
deep red
even blacks
I mend the soil, I keep it neat
I remove said weeds
and preen where I see fit
all I know is that this flower garden
holds many memories of those here and gone

Us
Its always been about us, babe
hand in hand
ride or die
each others own safe sanctuary, forever
after all these years
all the good, bad, the messy and the beautiful
weve chosen these years, these memories
we continue to chose each other
as we are
we are
a mother
a father
a lover
a friend
a warm place to fall
a teacher
a writer
a mentor
a drunk
an addict
a cheater
a hero
a liar
a promise
a dream
a prayer
a smile
...
