You took my heart away today
Wrapped it safely for travel
And, I trusted you
To carry it gently
Circling the globe as you often do
Now I sit an empty shell, waiting
My thoughts traveling, . . . more

My purse hollow
My arms scrawny
My taste buds sour
My mouth deflated
My hunger gnawing
My sight poor with desperation
His wallet thick with judgment
His biceps bulge with burdens
His tongue . . . more

I know the cry of your soul, for it is mine,
and I can hear it in the distant sound of your heart beat,
in the sounds of the sweet earth
and in the misty rain that falls,
in the crashing of the ocean, . . . more

Life is always full of twist and turns and ups and downs it seems,
Sometimes you may wonder if its worth all the pain to follow your dreams.
Some people seem so lucky in love and it seems they have it . . . more

For all the mush heads out there on New Year's...
There was a hole in my heart
One I thought would never heal
Shut out the rest of the world
Closed off so I wouldn't feel
Wouldn't . . . more

If I Could
If I could express my feelings for her,
They'd be much more profound than these mere words,
If I could show her the love held within,
Be it much more inspiring than this mortal skin,
If . . . more

Many of you will know this, but the term "ombres chinoises" (literally "chinese shadows") refers to the Asian art of shadow puppetry. The shadows of elaborate paper dolls . . . more

I enjoy poetry that speaks to daily issues. I worry about today's children, don't you? Perhaps this will speak to you as it did to me:
If children live with criticism, . . . more

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . . more

Oh, how I long to be wrapped in your love,
surrounded by all that you are;
Breathing you in, tasting your lips,
knowing you will not remain far.
Oh, how I wish I could freeze such a moment, . . . more

Hello Cole,
Do I speak in tongues?
Do I feel calloused?
Do your eyes see beyond me?
Do you know of love?
You squirm, I adjust
You belch, I excuse myself
You whimper, I smile

I love the way your fingers
tangle in my hair, slightly pulling
as you hold me close
and taste my lips, like honey
you say they are;
I want to be your honey
as your lips wrap around

You and I were never strangers.
long before we ever met
you held the key to my heart.
You were one I could never forget.
In another world, another time,
We have done it all before,
But one . . . more

You walk away
and I fall into my darkness,
unsure of how to breathe on my own,
unsure of what I need.
It has always been you
here with me,
loving me
hating me;
It has always been you.

Your heart is woven
inextricably with mine,
a weaving of colors
simply divine;
No longer two,
we unite as one;
From this day forward,
our life has begun.

I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . . more

Though miles away,
I can feel you near;
I breathe you in
like the scent of rain
as it lingers
after a spring shower.
Oh, my love
how can this be?
How can every fiber
of my being be so . . . more

I wave goodbye
Thinking this is the last time
And as much as I hope it is
Really for my sanity more than anything
I know better
I can not forget you
Push as hard as I might
Replace your face with . . . more

I looked for you in my twenties
But I didn't find you then
I looked for you in my thirties
But you eluded me again
I am looking for you in my forties
But I still don't . . . more
