Stop Sign
I met with a counselor”
To Whom It May Concern,
“ End All Contact – Sometimes this is easier said than done, but… even if you are requesting that [it] stop…”
Did she misread it?
Doubtful
But something had been misread.
That was clear
Because of the very very red
Stop Sign
Now
Rerouting

…untitled…
I wish I knew what’s troubling you
I wish I heard where you mind goes
I wish I could take your worries & doubts
I wish I could calm your storms
I would seek to soothe and heal
I would try to help carry your load
I would want to erase the hurt
I would hope to meet your need
Please feel my thoughts of peace for you
Please know my heart is holding you
Please let my quiet love enter you
Please rest your mind, refresh, renew
May solace and tranquility be your friend
May you always know, I care
I wish I heard where you mind goes
I wish I could take your worries & doubts
I wish I could calm your storms
I would seek to soothe and heal
I would try to help carry your load
I would want to erase the hurt
I would hope to meet your need
Please feel my thoughts of peace for you
Please know my heart is holding you
Please let my quiet love enter you
Please rest your mind, refresh, renew
May solace and tranquility be your friend
May you always know, I care

I opened her box & you fled
I tried so hard
To break into your dreams
Used our shards
To pick at the seams
I moaned your name
Midst pleas of desire
Then I came
Tingling body on fire
Now even your ghost
has left; I’m alone.
You, beloved the most,
To the netherworld flown
I, wandering midst graves,
(Your scent as my aura)
As trapped in a cave
With this box of pandora.
To break into your dreams
Used our shards
To pick at the seams
I moaned your name
Midst pleas of desire
Then I came
Tingling body on fire
Now even your ghost
has left; I’m alone.
You, beloved the most,
To the netherworld flown
I, wandering midst graves,
(Your scent as my aura)
As trapped in a cave
With this box of pandora.

Rooted in Longing
I’m in tears right now
This ache for you—it’s so strong
Sometimes logic speaks
And I really DO understand
At other times my heart just cries in pain
And all I can do is wonder why
As the hurt floods my mind right now,
I just don’t care all the reasons
I only ask why you’re not here
Right now, my whole existence craves
A touch, a taste, a drop, a hint
ANYTHING of you
Sometimes it’s the hurt that speaks most loudly
Sometimes it’s the overflowing heart,
the love for you
that fills my words
Whatever you read, ...
This ache for you—it’s so strong

I only ask why you’re not here
Right now, my whole existence craves

Sometimes it’s the overflowing heart,

Not really
I just miss you
That’s all
I couldn’t really be angry with you
You once said
You didn’t think
We could ever truly trust each other
I’m so sorry for hurting you
I’m so sorry for breaking your trust
But the only thing i would ever fear of you
Is this,
Now
the leaving
I just miss you
That’s what overwhelms all else
Am I mad or distrust you?
No, not really.
I just miss you
That’s all
I couldn’t really be angry with you

In Joy and Sorrow…but for today, it’s joy
I’m bursting with an excited desire
To tell you of my day
And hear of yours
Writing can’t keep up
With all the words that wish to gush
From my enthusiastic lips
As I melt into your friendship
So, yes, I miss you
Extra
This weekend eve
So much to tell
Of that little jaunt
Through 2 border crossings
Today
Always my happiness
Needs you too
To tell you of my day
And hear of yours
Writing can’t keep up
With all the words that wish to gush
From my enthusiastic lips
As I melt into your friendship
So, yes, I miss you
Extra
This weekend eve
So much to tell
Of that little jaunt
Through 2 border crossings
Today
Always my happiness
Needs you too

Still the One
You, my long lost Love,
Are still my first thought when I wake
The lingering desire in my mind and heart
As I fall asleep at night.
You’re still the nagging question
Through the daytime hours
And still my sweetest dreams of passion
Livening my body as I long for you
YOU are the One
with whom I wish to share
All the stories, thoughts and feelings
of each day.
Though my belief in you
Often ebbs more than it flows,
Yet my desire holds, unchanged.
Though our story may be burned to ashes
Forever will your memory ...
Are still my first thought when I wake
The lingering desire in my mind and heart
As I fall asleep at night.
You’re still the nagging question
Through the daytime hours
And still my sweetest dreams of passion
Livening my body as I long for you
YOU are the One

Yet my desire holds, unchanged.
Though our story may be burned to ashes

Winter Is Coming
With no promise of reprieve
Soon the storms of wind and rain
Sleet, snow and a dark early eve
Will weigh their grey into the bones
My Sun and Smile took his leave
Yet through the winter I will search
In a Someday Spring I will believe
Tropic sunny bliss,
return your light to me.
Soon the storms of wind and rain

I ask…
Is there a storyline
Where you might be mine?
So lonely now for you!
Is it really true
That you don’t need or want me?
Is there no way you see
A future possibility?
It breaks my heart to know
Our lives are tangled so
We may never know
Each other’s love again.
Is it an awful sin
That I seek to sink in
Your embrace?
Please return my friend
Don’t let this be the end
Because I still love you.

in Visions
Tricks of the mind
Return snapshots loved
A voice
Expressions
A favorite laugh
Softest hair
Tender touch
A hug
Shared moments
Entering the vision
I again let fingers linger
Hear words that blanket my worries
With calming peace
Share
Take a hand to hold
These hallucinations
Even bring back awkward moments
An annoying nervous eye twitch
My indecisiveness
Waking in the night with a dream
I didn’t want
But finding reassurance beside me
(I think I hit my head when I sat up) ...

Named
Though a human construction of language,
Yet it holds power, personality…
Though not a grouping
Or classification
Yet we find identity
Through frequent use:
My name becomes me
Whether born with
Or without a name
Somewhere, sometime,
one is found.
Relationships through life
may endear or alienate a name
in our minds
Until we have our favorites
And some we might wish
we could un-hear.
I have favorites.
Yours tops the list.
Surely you must know…
Since I...

Always You
In the beginning
I remember need
Crying for comfort
Longing to pause in travel
To feel loved
The first memory—
A craving to be held & comforted
In the beginning
I remember love
And knowing love
I remember waiting for a touch
Desiring a voice
I remember craving the presence
Of you
It’s always been you
I think I loved you
Before I knew your name
Before I heard your voice
Before I knew you cared
Searching for the missing piece
Before I knew it was you
Yet, it was always ...
I remember need
