As the lighthouse breaks the haze,
Of the eerie nightly mist,
Sat upon the harbor,
A ghostly child awaits his ship,
His cries haunt the darkness,
Beyond the afterlife,
As he awaits the ship of souls, . . . more

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

I have a river of leaves
coursing around my house.
The reds, the gold, and browns
have swirled around
till they look like marble icing on the ground.
Along the fence they snake and drift,
and break where . . . more

About the Smell of Sleep
Does it smell similar to rotting leaves
piled by the wind after riled and wild rain
or familiar like salt soaked skin

Poetic Pain
I have written many poems,
Painted pictures with these hands,
But time it waits for no one,
Like the hourglass sands,
Is poetry a gift,
Or a hindrance of the mind,
I long to be so debonair, . . . more

Night draws in,
Creeping, taking everyone by surprise
Everyone but him
He's been hearing the echo of her stilettos in his sleep for hours
She's been taunting him
Teasing him
Toying with his . . . more

I saw this ad one day on my TV.
So I grabbed a pen and quickly wrote it down.
Something about it made me want to see
for myself what untold gems there may be found.

A Face Without A Name
I fade into the masses,
Just a face without a name,
Clones of suits, umbrella heads,
scurry about in pouring rain,
Looming towers casting shadows,
Unerve me with there gaze,
I'm . . . more

Bitter-almond mornings
spew poison
People crush my spirit
Fragmented woman
clawing her eyes out
So when they ask me
why I never
leave this room, I tell
them nothing. . .
shut the door . . . more

Enchanted night draped with fresh snow
‘neath winter moon of milk that pours
silky webs, beauty to bestow,
like sparkling sand on foreign shores.
Like hooded druids stand the trees

How black lies the land in evening,
darkness bleeding into the soil
as sun ebbs, painting the trees with

Day has not left the sky, but is
taking the light . . . more

Again it is in this sleepy town my mind awakes
A sense of misplaced belonging
A taste memories unresolved
Amongst bitter change and sweet familiarity
I meet the wide-eyed child of me
As the drawn . . . more

I do not want to sweep the floor
nor wash the dishes any more
or mow the grass, or make the bed
my cooking skills have long been dead
I open a can when I want to eat
the dust keeps gathering round my . . . more

Drifting voices heard
just at the edge of knowing
you hear, but not sure.
Someone's anger; decibels
tickle the night noisily.

Wrap me in the familiar
Speak to me in the past tense
Don’t stoke the dying embers
Let me shiver in the bitter chill
No need to cushion the walls
Lock me in dogmatic confinement . . . more

Silent river flows along mossy banks
just as it did many years ago
when I was a little girl;
The picnic table still stands,
wood rotting away as if from a slow cancer, . . . more

I brush crumbs to the floor
to make way for paper and pen,
wondering why
I'm left with the remains
of someone's late night sandwich

I waited for you with bated breath
In hopes that once again,
We could share that oneness
we knew when we were friends.
But has time and distance erased
The closeness we once knew? . . . more
