  • At Once

    When time rolls over
    And moves me, gone
    I wonder if you shall cry
    For what you gave
    And too, for what you did not

    And if I could view
    You still
    In a stream of honey
    I would not pity…

  • Our Earth Still Breathes

    Spreading a glow
    In her palm
    She wraps it around
    Her neck
    Leaning back
    To kiss you, strikingly
    The pull of
    Of her approval
    Tilting you
    Into me
    As we ate celebration
    From a paper p…

  • Rest Knowing, I Love You Still

    When a field opens up into
    Your bedroom
    And you lie in it like
    My heart
    I will settle on a branch
    To prepare a budding song
    And you can in-half smile
    Dabbing clover
    Upon your sorrow …

  • A Weary Heart

    I met her
    By the lake
    She wore my dead
    Grandmother’s clothes
    Her veins too apparent
    She struggled to get comfortable
    And when she did
    She straightened her dress
    And crossed her ankles …

  • Forgotten

    I’m broken now
    But I have not forgotten the way it feels
    To swallow rain like candy drops
    And then to

    Stop

    And fervidly kiss
    If I ever backed off
    You’d insist
    A bit more intense …

  • Aiden's Way

    This can not be happening.
    The expression out of character is ringing in my ear in a really violent way, it’s giving me a headache. Oh gosh, what have I done?

    I saw him every week with a …

  • When a Heart Breaks

    Shriveled tunes
    Flapped in the exhausted wind
    I passed by a stranger
    He had a fearful eye
    I felt him headed to
    A pasture of mourning
    Crying out like a lone wolf
    Hurting something he didn…

  • Seventeen

    I used to be afraid
    That someone would realize
    I wasn’t ok

    That they would see my real bed
    The floral comforter, gone
    Just me naked, in nails

    My trendy attire
    Dying in the corner
    Of…

  • Baby Agenda

    He’s one now
    Itty co-sleeper packed away
    What once was the sight of his tiny feet kicking
    His little eyes blinking like therapy at me
    Is now set away, barely looked at

    His hands hold ma…

  • Party Dress and I Confess

    There are times when I am at a gathering
    Wearing a perfect party dress
    Lounging on a chaise
    With that look on my face

    Too many men in too much confidence
    Asking me
    _Would you like an…

  • You First

    I love you mostly always

    Sometimes

    When you find me in my closet
    Pushing my façade apart
    You find me there and grin
    Holding out your hand
    I take hold of it, so tight

    And you lea…

  • If You Can

    You can enter my heart
    If you would like
    If you can find a place to fit
    You are more than welcome to stay
    I am sorry for the clutter
    The remnants of him
    _Isn’t this cute? This is what he…

  • Maybe

    I’m not sure of much right now
    But I am sure you don’t love me
    Anymore
    I am sure that you know my heart is sore
    And yet there is nothing you can do
    Is there?
    You can’t hold me
    You can’t …

  • Confession

    I have to confide something
    I don’t know who to tell
    But today I felt cold
    Quite mean
    Absurdly negative
    And this is why

    Today I saw him
    And I noticed he
    Looked so lively
    So content

  • After All We've Been Through

    I listened to advice
    And so, I am here alone
    Lying in a creaking boat of hope
    As bitty holes let
    Our tragedy seep in
    And I start sinking again

    I have tried to convince myself
    That, …

  • For Good

    There are no more days in
    The end

    No more
    Let’s try this again

    We both know that
    Just a friend
    Never works
    If we could see the expression
    It’d be smirking
    Knowing where it al…

  • Lovely Things

    One of the loveliest things
    Is the way we came together
    Right when I put
    Forever
    On a rocket ship
    Feeling that my Maker had plans
    For me to be alone a while
    I pouted a little
    But soon…

  • Dazzle Me

    You still dazzle me
    You tap on the café window
    As I sit there alone

    I’m smart
    I’m well
    I’ve a coffee and scone

    And when I look up to see you there
    I still care
    It’s easy to se…

  • Willing

    Secrets sprinkled down last night
    As we met in an unlikely place
    You grabbed my wrist and stole me away
    Bring me back to us

    The surge of our being together
    Familiar but exceptional
    F…

  • If II

    If your love was on the moon
    I’d convince myself
    That I am not afraid of heights
    Or of the claustrophobic flight
    And I’d go shooting up
    To reach you

    If your love was in a cave
    I…
