Ordinarily it wouldn't have happened,
But the booze went to my head.
I lost my inhibitions
And I wound up in your bed.
You looked into my eyes
And lit my body's fire
Pressed your lips . . . more

In the park
a chubby pink child
rests on a bench
in her mother's arms,
eating long strands of blond hair
in affectionate clumps,
and staring at embracing lovers
who smile back.

I used to keep my heart
In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.
It was safe there.
You came along one day
bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box . . . more

Without a name you are
nor are you with a purpose
no subject chosen for your virtue
you are more precious than my person
poetic verses
how i form thee in your anonymity
unsure of what . . . more

Never project emotion.
They will only mistake
anger for arrogance
tears for weakness
If you show fear
they will strike.
Smile. Smile. Smile.
Shake hands.
Make eye contact. . . . more

Alone in the darkness,
I stand at my window
and gaze down on my deserted block,
barely lit by a single street lamp.
Suddenly, I see him,
The old man sitting lonely
On the September cold, . . . more

It is a hot Sunday morning.
My restless eyes move around the chapel
And focus on the old man
Who sits across the aisle
In a homemade wheelchair.
I wonder what he thinks and feels
As he blinks . . . more

I am a spent bomb,
Shell of a woman.
The fragmentation
Of somebody's dream
The remnants of a nightmare
She never knew she had.
I am without self
A mass of tissue
Mutated to human . . . more

At the end of my life, I live,
And dream my way back
Through a thousand acres of time
To when I sat small and unalone,
Listening to the whispers
Of unloved maple leaves.
At the end of my . . . more

We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . . more

When Steffie died,
She lived on
as tears on Mama's cheeks.
The bright colored dresses
with delicate lace
and the dolls with button eyes
were put away
But, still Mama cried.
Why is death? . . . more

I think about you throughout the day
At night I lie awake and pray
That at some point you'll think of me
And know how special "we" could be.
But I can never reveal how much
I lust . . . more

Lying on my back, gazing at the sky
I think of you and I can fly
Soaring high over oceans so blue,
This makes no sense, but it is oh so true.
In loving you there is no in between.
When we're . . . more

Seeking crumbs of affection,
Looking in each possible direction,
Hoping to receive,
Eager to believe
that there is love
Praying that time's on my side
As I swallow my foolish pride . . . more

I don't want you back
Though I crave your touch.
I can't keep doing it,
It hurts too much.
I don't want you back,
Though I long for one kiss,
I must back away, . . . more

I don't think you know what you want to do
You only stayed because I asked you to.
you're in my arms, but your mind is far away
Lost in a memory of some other day.
You didn't think . . . more

I almost died today
When I woke up alone
for the first time in our empty bed
And realized that it was truly over.
I lay on my back
with tears dripping into my ears
while in utter despair . . . more

I hate the sight of your face today,
Though I can't believe I feel this way.
Our story was over as quickly as once begun.
Yesterday, I loved you, but now I'm done.
It's . . . more

You will never know how much it hurt
The day you said good-bye.
I hold the pain inside my heart
Because I'm much too old to cry.
I felt my heart get torn in half
As I watched you walk away, . . . more

I remember
No need to explain
Both tumbling together down memory lane.
I remember
Brings both smiles and tears
For all that's happened throughout the years.
I remember
No need to . . . more
