Remind me
Why I asked you to go
Why I asked you to say goodbye
Why I asked you to leave me alone
Remind me why
And why, why, why
You happily obliged

Negativity
Is a bad habit
Positivity
Is good practice
Empty
I pushed you away
Now I want you so bad –
Life without you leads
Me to cry into an empty
Bed
Flickering Heart
My heart sometimes
(Whenever)
Skips a beat
Gentle flurries of continuous motion –
The flicker of a flashing light,
It reminds me every time
To count my blessings every day
To say the words I want to say
To pen the lines I need to write
Because today might be my very last.
Writing Dreams
I consumed to ease my burdened heart
I traveled to take my pain away
I swam until I could no longer see the shore
I married, gave birth, I cried
I mothered, played games, I laughed
I hugged, made love, I lived
And to sooth my troubled soul
I wrote my dreams
To life
Green Grass
Past days are dust
Grey smokey remnants of a
Time that was and
Is no more and fire
Fades from my view
As I focus on a sharp
Crisp blade of grass
That is green.
Blushing Clouds
As the sun’s rays
Die from the ebbing day,
A celestial glow falls
On the waters below.
The clouds blush and bid
Day farewell, shyly
Welcoming night, as the sun
Drops and the light fails.
Hope
Trust not
In a hopeless end
Believe
In endless hope
Blurred
Your face flickers across my mind
Your touch lingers across my flesh
Your kiss savors my nakedness
Our moments merge into one
So clear and yet so
Blurred
Tango – A Duet
I’ve had the wonderful privilege of collaborating with Herbert Uba from Beautiful Lies to write a poem. I’m pleased to present our work!
Tango.
If romance were our song
And you can take the lead
Then my heart will soar –
Passion’s tiny seed.
We can sing and dance to it
Carelessly beautiful, it wows the stars;
Step on each other’s toes, alright;
Our love will heal the scars.
The sun bids the day farewell
As the moon wakens sleeping night
We are ready, the scene is set!
Our stage reflects the sparkling light.
What evil we unleash on a young night,
With roses and scented candles?
Chocolate that gives kiss so much taste,
It shudders our love handles?
So with fervor we tango
Together the whole night through
With hope that is beckoning
A love for me and you.
