In the absence of something
I’ve got nothing
Except the question
How do I fix my life?
Let’s get the party started

Small World
My days are your nights
When I fall asleep
You awake
While I am wrapped up
From the cold
You are warm
I read your words
And you read mine
We are worlds away
But very near
❤️
Echoes of You
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
