Rearview Mirror With Baby Shoes
As if unwilling to sit still
they hung there, swaying;
soles still clean, undented, unperforated.
Peering over the tall, red dashboard
I was a mole in a moving hideaway
carried forward unwittingly,
the past still front and center.
How could he have ever fit
Into those shoes, I thought,
they were doll-sized.
Suddenly he became a life-sized doll
on the horizon as if waiting for us to arrive,
wind-blasted and beyond compliance.
'What took you so long?', his tiny lips muttered,
'I am outgrowing myself as you...

Maw maw
I hold your hand
I didn't know it was the last time
You look the same
Except your eyes
You look lost in your mind
All these memories
Flash through my brain
Like rays of sunshine
Through falling rain
I wish I could give them to you
And see you smile one more time
Taking someone's memories
Seems like the worst crime
But even though
You don't know my name
I still love you just the same
I didn't know it was the last time
You look the same
Except your eyes
You look lost in your mind
All these memories
Flash through my brain
Like rays of sunshine
Through falling rain
I wish I could give them to you
And see you smile one more time
Taking someone's memories
Seems like the worst crime
But even though
You don't know my name
I still love you just the same

The Pleasant Memories Of You Still Comfort Me
For Jamie
This is the last poem I’ll write for you, my beloved Jamie
I’m still grieving a lost intrigue that wasn’t meant to be
Your incredible love left an irremovable mark on my heart
Time has flown by, but I’m not too old to desire you.
Although I’ve been living without you for so many years,
The pleasant memories of you still comfort me today
I’ve never seen another woman with such perfect love
If I could return to the past, I’d get everything right
But finding a soulmate happens only once in one’s lifetime
The chance...

A Fight On Yom Kippur
One other incident sticks in my mind. It happened on Yom Kippur, the most solemn day of the Jewish Year. Yom Kippur falls in September or October, its exact timing determined by the lunar calendar.
The Central Synagogue (or Shul) was packed and hot that particular day. The caretaker, a non-Jew, came in at regular intervals with a fragranced water spray to freshen the air to prevent people from fainting from the heat or ongoing hunger. In the background, less devout men discussed food or football while the Chazzan (or Cantor) continued to chant away on the Bimah (platform). ...

Like My Daddy Did
Pour my gravy over my eggs like my Daddy did
As long as I got biscuits to sop them up with
Memories of my Dad pop up now and then
Never know why, never know when
Every once in awhile, I'll make a sheepish grin
And I'll laugh to myself that I'm turning into him
Visions of my Dad pop up now and then
Never know why, never know when
Chorus:
My Daddy was a good man
But he wasn't perfect in any way
Sometimes I'd get so mad at him
I'd have trouble thinking straight
Still being reminded of a good man
In traits I...

A Woman I Can't Forget
The memory of her still haunts me
Everything about her hunts me
Using me as prey
Food for thought
When I think of her
This woman I can't forget
We could ignore reality
It's always harder than it has to be
Just live in the fantasy
Where everything fits together perfectly
Even me
And the woman I can't forget
Everything about her hunts me
Using me as prey
Food for thought
When I think of her
This woman I can't forget
We could ignore reality
It's always harder than it has to be
Just live in the fantasy
Where everything fits together perfectly
Even me
And the woman I can't forget

Maiden -
Now, maiden turning your face
up into your sky.
The light danced across
her young body.
Slipping down over her,
washing into her thoughts.
Her soft, golden skin traded
the light's smile.
Her wages were marked
by the hope behind her breast.
She walked faster to keep up
curious with the light.
Through closed eyes
that cannot open.
up into your sky.
The light danced across
her young body.
Slipping down over her,
washing into her thoughts.
Her soft, golden skin traded
the light's smile.
Her wages were marked
by the hope behind her breast.
She walked faster to keep up
curious with the light.
Through closed eyes
that cannot open.

Star
You had that magnetism
That was so easy to see
Unlimited potential
That was never reached
A star so bright
But oh so brief
Lights up your life
Gone in a blink
That was so easy to see
Unlimited potential
That was never reached
A star so bright
But oh so brief
Lights up your life
Gone in a blink

Little reminders
Under the moonlight I’m searching for your heart.
Another lost soul I need to rip me apart.
I couldn’t help you escape from out of the dark,
So I just left you behind to break out from where you are.
If I hadn’t have left then I’d lose myself in your tune.
My thoughts would run me into a state of ruin,
But I still find you beneath the blue moon,
And all I think about is the blackest of sins, my truth.
I have this mark, which you left upon my heart.
You clawed a piece of me and left a deep red scar.
I have the teeth...
Another lost soul I need to rip me apart.
I couldn’t help you escape from out of the dark,
So I just left you behind to break out from where you are.
If I hadn’t have left then I’d lose myself in your tune.
My thoughts would run me into a state of ruin,
But I still find you beneath the blue moon,
And all I think about is the blackest of sins, my truth.
I have this mark, which you left upon my heart.
You clawed a piece of me and left a deep red scar.

Elevator Girl
It was just like in a movie
I know it sounds cliche'
I was waiting for the elevator
Just another normal day
The door opens and there you are
You're glowing like an angel
The crowd moves us in and out
We smile from every angle
You start to say something
And I reach for the door
It closes way too fast
I head for the eighth floor
When the door opened
I ran back down the stairs
But I was too god damn late
You were no longer there
The years go by and I wonder
What if I...

Time Machine
I found my shirt you always wore
In back of the closet balled up on the floor
Held it to my nose and breathed deep in
Closed my eyes and saw you again
A slide show, of happy memories
When I loved you and you loved me
Laughing and talking and playing all night
Slow and easy, the way you like
Loving till the sun, who needs sleep
Telling me your dreams and secrets you keep
I put it under my pillow, vowing to never clean
It's not just a shirt, It's a time machine
In back of the closet balled up on the floor
Held it to my nose and breathed deep in
Closed my eyes and saw you again
A slide show, of happy memories
When I loved you and you loved me
Laughing and talking and playing all night
Slow and easy, the way you like
Loving till the sun, who needs sleep
Telling me your dreams and secrets you keep
I put it under my pillow, vowing to never clean
It's not just a shirt, It's a time machine

Valkyrie
While lying in my lair, gems and precious stones strewn everywhere
I'm nestled in amongst the statuettes of you begging for my care
I curl my tail around my body and rest my chin and muzzle right there
The glare from the diamonds reminds me of the sparkle from your skin and hair
So many strewn silver and gold pieces reminds me of Jason's Golden Fleece
I'm panning the streams of existence for worthy pieces of me ores with your loving leash
Hahaha, eyeing myself all along my hunches and all along my tail
There are so many lost memories of you that have...
