Please hold me,
Please stroke me,
Please tell me all
Will be okay.

Trust in you,
Depend on you.
Please be my respite,
My refuge

Vengeance
How do you like
Being pushed into a corner?
Painful, isn’t it?
Who’s crying now?
Who is desperate
And deprived?
Welcome!
Welcome!
To my Hell.

Dreams
I’m cursed to know
My heart’s desire.
Those dreams
I’ve held so dear.
It hurts to look
Within my life
And see none,
Ever near.
What to do
I cannot . . .

In Spring, Earth renews her promise of life.
This year, I am granted new life as well.
A new beginning; A new path.
How exciting and terrifying to stare upon a clean slate.
I want . . .

Interpretation: Ancient Vulnerability
Men rule the world,
Or so they say.
The loudest, leading their call.
How many of their numbers acknowledge?
They all have come from . . .

For Bailey
So much to see,
So much to learn,
I envy your discovery.
The scent of flowers,
The blueness of the sky.
The softness of a dewy morn. . . .

Memories of Old
What can you do
When memories hurt?
Fear, sadness, rejection,
And loneliness
Pervade my remembrances.
No wonder I am
Who I am?
I would cry,
But that seems
So silly . . .

Please Think Of Me
Please think of me,
This gentle night
As I lay,
And think of you.
Another day
Has come and gone.
One less I must
Pay due.
In all my days . . .

I delivered Mary Beth, Stillborn.
I thought I knew joy,
And happiness too;
Until I was blessed
With knowledge of you.
Our time was too brief,
I'm longing for more;
But reality is cold,
Earthly limits . . .

Interpretation: You Knew
You knew I wasn’t looking,
You knew that I was scared.
You knew my eyes cast downward,
You took your time and cared.
You knew that I felt homely, . . .

Interpretation: Divine Sacrifice
What is
Divine Sacrifice?
Can we all not strive?
Struggle?
Give?
Is sacrifice only to God?
What of mankind?
One another?

Interpretation: Humble Pie
Humility.
A state
For which to strive.
A quality to be endeared.
Virtuous,
Admirable,
Simple….
A worthwhile goal.
Often aspired, . . .

Interpretation: Brain Freeze
I sometimes disgust myself.
Startlingly so.
Who am I?
The mirror says one thing,
My mind says another.
In the mirror,
I am a grown . . .

Dedicated to Spouse #2
Oh your words, your evil words.
Do they even make sense to you?
Spare me your lip service,
I've heard it before.

Reset?
How frightening to awaken,
And intimately understand "self-loathing."
Awaken to a life I did not choose.
Awaken to a life I do not want.
Awaken to . . .

Ignorance is sinful,
Ingratitude too~
Please God forgive me;
If only I knew.
I tried, but I failed;
My vanity is curbed.
A lesson I needed,
But this is absurd.
Far reaching agony . . .

I cannot watch the sunrise,
Or appreciate the dew.
I shudder to be pleasant,
When first,
Speaking to you.
Now let's recall priorities,
I mean no personal ill.
But until I've first . . .

Interpretation: Mad Bees
Mad bees
Buzz in and out,
Around, around my head...
Their tone,
Deafening me.
My brain throbs…
Their madness;
A hallucination . . .

Interpretation: Hard Luck
Often I've heard, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."
I challenge that thought~
Hard luck is better than no luck.
