Winter Wander
Peaceful snowfall
Soft “hello”
Cool crisp outside
Heart aglow
Snapshots captured
Now I know
Friendship regained
Is possible
Thank you, Friend,
For words of hope.

It is an honor
Being a safe haven
For those tears…
I’ll carry them
Close to my heart
Raincatcher
For those I love
An honor
For those tears…
I’ll carry them
Close to my heart
Raincatcher
For those I love
An honor

Aching Awareness
Do you know
How irreplaceable you are?
I do
I’ve known for quite awhile
With a haunting sorrow
That shadows my days with lonely aches
Because you’re gone
and I miss you!

Mind far from the kitchen,
as the dishes clink in the sink
I ponder:
It seems the “why” of forgetting
Never died for you
While for me, I never knew
Never understood
How or why
death could be best
You remain
Alive and thriving
In my now
My heart cannot forget!
(and I don’t want to)
Rather, I long to renew
Would you?
Ever?

After the Eggs & Baskets are Claimed
As dusk descends upon their glen
Reclining near a fire cozy & bright
The Easter bunnies settle in
With tasty chocolates & sweets
And best of all, favorite tales to tell
of the children on their streets
Joyfully discovering the tokens of love
Scattered by the rabbit pair.

Heartburst
It was bound to happen
Play with fire…
Fly too close…
She’s a phoenix after all
First a burn
Then a blister
Now a bursting heart
…
But
…
She is a phoenix after all
flaming wings flying
Towards rebirth
Play with fire…
Fly too close…
She’s a phoenix after all
First a burn
Then a blister
Now a bursting heart
…
But
…
She is a phoenix after all
flaming wings flying
Towards rebirth

Our rainbow worlds
Moments of you
Are like bubbles in the grass
Private rainbow worlds
Gone too fast
Would you breathe
More luminescent spheres my way
Someday?

Intellect
You fascinate me so!
How I wish
I could delve into your mind
And know you
More

Stabs in the Dark
Hmmm, I just thought how…I hurt you. I keep realizing more & more just how much… I’m sorry. I know I say it over & over but I don’t know what else to do or say. I wish I could make it right…undo the stabs I put in your heart…go back & be a better friend…go back & be sensitive & really listen…go back & make different choices… but who knows, maybe I’m still holding the knife & flailing in the dark & don’t even realize the damage I cause in my own confusion. I hope not. I don’t want to be a source of hurt!

I am sorry
Salty flavor
Of regret
Trickles past my lips
I’m sorry I silenced you
I care about your life
I care about you
I just want
to talk
and tell you
“I am sorry”
Of regret
Trickles past my lips
I’m sorry I silenced you
I care about your life
I care about you
I just want
to talk
and tell you
“I am sorry”

Broken
My heart
just cracked a little more again
Remembering
how much I loved being your friend
I miss your conversation
I miss your trust
I’m sorry
for shattering it all
Is there no glue?
I miss everything about you!
