To Love, Greatly
Send the vine I hold onto, Send the spite I cling to in my teeth, I do need this downtime. I’ve hung on too long. No, I don’t need anymore of your pain, I have my own. The deep wounds of loss, forgiven. Taking it on the chin, now listening. Being the better person, the […]

Good Things To Come
What if you chose yourself to fixate on, to admire, to like? I realized something today, that today is the day where I like the me that I am, and not just because someone else likes me, but because I like myself. Will you realize this about yourself today as well?

Words are like Kingdoms
The power to forgive those who hurt with their words. Acknowledging pain and moving through and out of it is building your kingdom.

Poet 4 the Day
I wrote this poem over a month ago, but for some reason didn’t put the date on the paper, which is unlike me. Sometimes I write poems and don’t post them right away because I’m not sure of them, what they mean to me, if they’re any good. But this has been hanging on my […]

Inspiration spoken, admiration felt
For my husband. Written February 21, 2020. Thoughts of admiration linger in the air like cool clothes on my neck. Ohhhh, I see you. Being there for me like a rock. Not shiny, just deeply rooted in the earth, bringing me back to my roots. I don’t recall when I first left this space, on […]

Rainy Days
Here comes the rain. Something no one has seen before. Not like before, or So it seems. Like before we were young. When we had no concept of youth, just emotions, Fear of what was, death, the boogie man, loneliness Maybe you got away, overcame, or You gave away that fear in exchange for hardness. […]

Moved On
Did I move on and forget to tell you? I thought you were still there, waiting for me. But you have far exceeded what we were, What we ever could be. What’s sad, so lonely, so hard to accept, Is that I too moved past what we have already wept. In truth, we don’t need […]

Ziggy Stardust
Inspired by my kitten lately. She moves quick and wiggles vite, we call her Ziggle, Zaggle, McZigglenator, Ziggy Stardust. She was found, or rather, she found, an owner by jumping into my colleagues sons car window while they waited for their food in the McDonalds drive-thru. She’s got balls! Well having a kitten in the […]

Fresh
I wrote this poem on September 02, 2019. The light in my office was coming in just so that I tore off a big piece of paper and started writing. The sun has a soothing glisten off the clear water Drum beats in the distance give my body license to rock Deep within, my mind […]
