I saw your baby girl today
Playing in the park
With her sparkling eyes
And dimpling smile
An echo of you
The pain surging through me
Cruelly reminded me
How far away I am
From being over you

Dead Night
I woke up
Alone and cold
With the torment
Of your eyes
Appealing to my
Unguarded senses
No escape
Even in the dead
Of the night
Blessings
Feeling thankful
For all that we have
For all that we are
For all that we’ve been given
Friends, family, faith and life
Blessings freely shared
Kaleidoscope Sky
A kaleidoscope
Unfolds above my eyes as
I kneel down to pray
Turbulence
The breaking of the water
The moving of the tide
Sways my heart to aching hell
I want you by my side
But you are nowhere
Abyss
Your scent lingers as
The memory of your
Touch teases me
Once there was a
You and me—
Us
Now there is only
An abyss
Flowing River
Take the world
But leave me stories
Never let the well run dry
Bless me with a flowing river
Until my words become alive
Boiling Point
The feelings simmer as
Words begin to bubble
Mixing as they begin
To boil, the tension rises
Heat gets hotter
Rushing quicker, faster
Pressure building –
Boiling point
Flip Flop Hip Hop
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Flip Flop.”
Flip flop
Hip hop
When you want to
Kiss me, I will not
Allow it
When I want to
Love you, you will not
Allow it
When you want to
When I want to
We will both
Allow it
Flip flop

Selfish Prayer
I heard a soul
Pray for another
And I silently wished
That another
Could pray for me
