It’s Not Just a Scooter
My best friend’s wife
Passed away
A few years ago
He kept her scooter
She was in failing health
For years
Their twenty year marriage
Was spent
Mostly in hospital rooms
And sorrow
I asked him once
Why he held onto it
Why he didn’t
Sell it
Because it’s valuable
He proceeded to explain
That insurance
Wouldn’t pay for it
So he worked overtime
When he wasn’t working
Overtime at home
So that he could
Provide her comfort
So that she could have ...

HONESTLY, YOU REALLY DON'T MIND?
I hadn't seen her in
several years; then out
of the blue there was her
sensual voice on the phone.
After small talk and updating
the past, I told her I wanted to
see her as soon as it was convenient.
"Really?" she replied. "I'm not the
same "perfect doll" you once
circled the world in bed with."
"YES! A thousand times yes."
"Are you sure?" she asked.
She began her list:
"Do you want my fat body, I mean fat?"
"Oh, yes, I can feel and taste it now.,.

Loving Touch
Sometimes, things are going wrong
You've had enough and you feel
Like you're just not tough enough
To make it through
Just think of me and how much
I love you and remember that
I'm here for you
Yes, I'll always be here for you
(Chorus)
Close your eyes and visualize
That I'm there with you
I wanna help see you through
I just wanna keep loving you
Your loving touch means so much
It's true your love is
A bright spot in my day
And darling, I've just got to say
I want to love you in everyway ...

Soul Friend
affections are funny
they grow and wane over time
from furious flames to cooling embers
but my love remains constant
I don't have to like you to see beauty
your soul's scars tell me so much about you
gentle truth, I share my honesty
from one soul to another
sacred promise I will always be your friend
secrets of faith
we have trusted each other facts over our lives
never to ever be used as weapons
I keep your privacy down deep
in the sanctity and bond of friendship
it is an honor to know you ...

Mother’s Day
You laid a path for me to follow
Though sometimes life can be hard to swallow
But you were there to hold my hand
And encourage me to step off the beaten path
You painted a world alive and green
And helped open my blue eyes to see
On this day now I recognize
Your caring influence in my life
Now I walk fast while you walk slow
But by this you still teach me how to grow
And with your age you will see
There’s still a child holding your hand…
…that’s me 🥰

I Cut Myself and Thought of You
That's the kind of relationship we have
Mundane household chore
Blade went too far, just a slice
Clean, surgical in nature
It was that kind of week
Unsettling
It's not so bad though
I have you to share my pain
You appreciate gore and perversity
Unintentional
Had it been self harm
Well, there's always tomorrow

you have left me
hours barely passed,
such fleeted body,
you ravaged
the jeweled fields,
and made your choice

PLEASE
The only thing that can make me feel whole again
Is to hear that aching desire tremble in your voice
To feel you quiver whenever my tongue wanders
All over your skin, and down your forbidden places
So, please...I need to hear you beg for my lust
I need to feel your hot breath against my ear
To hear your heart beating faster and faster
To feel your hardness throbbing against my thigh
Hearing your moans grow more strident with each tease
Let me feel your hands groping me ever so eagerly
Heavy breathing meld as I ravage and devour you
Bodies...

The Resilience of a Poet
The resilience of a poet comes from the heart
From the deepest part of the human soul
And yet there is a strength from this poetess
It’s something that can’t be expressed in words
But there is a profound sense of understanding
Something that takes time and tide and time again
It goes beyond the realm of our comprehension
Something this poetess sees and feels and tells
With every breath poetry pours with calmness
Illuminating like a beacon beckoning a smile
Reckoning the intricate webs and nuances of life
In admiration of stars...

Diagnosis
For Elisha
I.
I am sure you felt its shadow
locomotive smoke growing thicker
that plumule bomb
of hazardous waste
pulverizing the landscape
of your lungs
There are so many cliches
for a time like this. . .
‘Take care of you’
‘It will be alright’
‘I’m so sorry’
‘I’m here if you need me’
'What can I do'
But the truth is
it hurts to concentrate
on a war game
of chemotherapy
and radiation roulette
II.

Sleeping
Sleeping, dreaming, waking, wondering.
Although apart we try and drift into
sleep at the same time as if we are
together so we can share our dreams
and then, possibly, share our waking
so beginning a new day in harmony
perhaps making sweet love sharing
each touch and imbuing it with sweet
memories. Wondering what today will
bring and hoping our plans are what
we dreamt of last night and that today
will end with more peaceful sleep so
the cycle repeats
