Faces Two

Faces Two Be careful of one with faces two, She might be the end of you! She smiles with one and with the other lies: Half-truths, flattery and alibis. Always undoing what she said, Tells something different when she turns her head. She wears a halo and a cross; She’s the Christian you’re the lost. […]

Hidden in the Mist

Hidden in the Mist A taste of the darkness brings me to the light,But sometimes it’s hard to separate day from night.Alone in my thoughts, alone in my dreams,It’s hard to know what reality is it seems.Who is this person that lives in my soul?Sometimes a stranger, I don’t even know. I stand in the […]

The Aroma of You

The Aroma of You It’s hard! Starting all over again. Looking for a new best friend. I see a lot of flowers I might enjoy, But I’m not in the mood to pick and choose. My heart is wilted, Gone is the nourishment that gave it life. Gone is the nurturing that kept the soil […]

Little Man Sitting Next to Me

Little Man Sitting Next to Me This little man sitting next to me,I wonder what he will grow to be?Hair so blond, eyes of blue,As fresh as the morning dew. Sitting here by my side,In this world I’ll be his guide.Listening to childhood questions unfold,Clinging to every story told. Watching clouds as they go by,Counting […]

Me and the Cat

Me and the Cat Sitting here, me and the cat,She’s all scrunched up taking a nap.All she does is eat and sleep,Laying there without a peep. Purring! That’s an odd old sound,Wonder if this one’s ready for the pound?Paw paws, can you imagine that.Quit it, you old damn cat! Wonder why women like these things?They […]

Broken Houses

Broken Houses While driving down old country roads, I see broken houses with stories untold. They hold memories of days gone by, Of hopes and dreams that will never die. Families both young and old Once occupied these tattered abodes. Lovers held each other’s hands And children played gleefully on the land. On porches they […]

The Shadow

The Shadow Say ” Hello” to the shadow, That’s who I am. A dark form without substance Cast upon the ground. Discarded by the sunlight. Hidden! Put away. A reflection of darkness. No sunlight comes this way. One Hand Clapping One Hand Clapping The sound of one hand clapping is… Read More Living Inside Today […]

Eyes of Stone

Eyes of Stone I feel my eyes turning to stone. I’m in this world all alone. In my blindness I do not see, All that is happening to the likes of me. I feel my ears turning dea( Not to hear what is said. My mouth opens but I do not speak, I know not […]

The Garden

The Garden What once flowered with aromatic essences so full, Now lays bare and abandoned. The seasons came and went But blossoms bearing life return no more. Despite all the nurture and kindness one could surrender, The garden now lays bare and abandoned. Sunshine no longer giving life And rains fall only to tired and […]

Thoughts

Thoughts I watched the sunrise this morning, Amidst the hustle and bustle of the world readying itself for work. So very few noticed the glimmering star rising from behind its shroud of clouds, Turning the horizons into cascades of oranges and golds. Its one thing not taking time to smell the roses, But it’s another […]
