~Broken in a Rainbow~ Did you wrap me in a rainbow? Treasured, Measured. And I, Was I hidden? Tucked away, In a kaleidoscope of broken glass? Washed away? By the… Shards of my tears, Layered, Colored, …fragments, Collected, Rolling around inside, Lying jagged on the ground. Forgotten, Ignored, …incomplete. Didn’t you see? I…I was just […]
~Memory’s Ghost~ I am a ghost among your memories, Held close, …deep within. Playing over and over, Time and time again. Our days, …our nights, Linger still, …within your mind. With each breath you take, You remember, My sweet kiss, …my soft skin. I am the ghost of your memories, Held close, …deep within. With […]
~Winter’s Bride~ I kissed you at those cemetery gates, In that moment, We sealed our fate. As I kissed you on the lips, …cold breaths, Between the sips. You reached for me, …I was lost, Losing my sanity, In that winter’s mist. Just one touch, …a single kiss. Will I become your winter’s bride? Cold […]
Legend has it, That when the moon is full, …and bright, You can see her, But only at the hour of midnight. She comes with cat like grace, Trying, Searching, ….seeking, Her reflection, A moment to see her face. Cursed she was, Because of love, ….or was it pride? Depending on whose telling the tale. […]

Faces excited, The players, Took their places. And what would the night bring? I wondered as I looked on, … in fascination. Top […]
~Dancing in a Raindrop~ I hear a far off drumming, Starting to begin. Sometimes the storms, Just takes my breath away. And takes me in…. Rat..a…tat….tat, Rat..a…tat….tat, And my mind just drifts away, To other, Long ago days. Splash…splash…splash, Oh, I was so fast….. Each puddle got bigger, …and bigger, As the rain fell drop […]
An older one. My son returned safely from two deployments! 🙂 ~Wishes On Wings~ I cry, From love and fear, At this moment, I would give anything, ….anything, To have you near. Now you fly, Across those far off seas, That take you even farther, ….away from me. I remember the sweetness of your baby […]
Whispered petals, Washing, Lapping over me, Oh, so tenderly. Am I , In these layers, Drowning in a sea of uncertainties? Or possibilities? Lost or found, Beneath these velvet waters, Am I bound? Luring, In their seductive caress, I sub come to the Softness of their velvet nest. Haunting in these depths, Of solitude, I […]
~A Handful of Crumbs~ Crumbs gathered, Clandestine, From our daily buffet, Filling our own outstretched palms, ..and others, Along the way. They gathered closely, Then quickly flew away, As the sun rode high, And sweet music played. A lifted arm, Hands raised, Offered in silent supplication, With a handful of crumbs, Brought them back, In […]
I reached sleepily for your pillow, But you were no longer there, In the room were the echoes of my dreams. Tugging hungrily at my mind. Time after time. Bereft, Into the darkness, I could only stare. Sitting on the dresser, Our love letters silent, Left unread. Silly me, Those daydreams still haunt…dance in my […]
