I can see it when you look at me
Dedication, love, a commitment to be
The kind of mommy you’ve always wanted to be
I see it- when you look at me

I notice all the things you do
All the places you take me and the beautiful views.
You do so much for me and without I’d be nothing
The love that you show me goes above all things.

When you look at me
Your smile and eyes light up the room
While they ask for attention
But it’s me you consume.

Im the first place you look
In both morning and night,
The hours we’re together
are such a delight.

It’s a tragedy when I die-


But you always bring me back
Never mind those other moments
Did I mention I’m back?

So post the best pic
Hope you took more than one
Arn’t you so lucky
Your whole life is being written down?

Tell your child to hush-
They are being to loud
But make sure that you tag
Your friends in the crowd

Make sure that your cheers
Has the boomerang on
Ignore your partner
But make sure to take a mirror picture at the salon.

Starbucks is great,
That a picture of that
And make sure you get some thing documented
With a caption reading “coffee with bestie, great chat!”

And if the sun ever catches your eye
And makes you wonder if there is more
Make sure you put up your windshield sun catcher
Before you enter the store.

Apparently, being alone all the time makes my blood boil
It give me time to stew
Become a shrew
And release all my wrath onto you.

Tell them-
Tell them to take the property,
it's all their's to have.
Tell them to enjoy the bathtub where I birthed my first born
alone, in pain, and saw it go down the drain.
Tell them to soak in the morning light of the spare room we slept in separately all too often.
They themselves can have the windows closest to where the drive-by was.
Your greed and your wants have blinded you like the fresh coat of paint that illuminates the house.

But give me a moment to savor my land.
Let me breathe in the lavender I planted all those years ago
and spare me a second to watch the breeze dance with all the ivory.
Let me walk around my first garden and admire the bulbs,
brush against the lemon balm and the small batch of mint I planted in the shade.

I, too, want to live in peace but cannot scratch out the land
for my nails are still ***** from working my land.

Chocolate, sweet chocolate
How was I to know?
When I ate you yester-
where it would go.

Your crunchy dark square
I ate all in one bite
but little did I know
your powerful might.

I saw all the colors
and heard every sound.
That little sweet chocolate
did not **** around.

So if you're like me
and sweets call you name
beware- this could happen to you
all just the same.

I cam to drink a beer last night

after work was done,

I came to to blow off some steam

and just to have the one.



But then I saw my friends

and beer began to flow.

I drank a few more after-

how many I don’t know...



Because the details start to haze,

so let me settle the score.

When you go in for just the one beer,

You’ll end up drinking more.

Touch me often
Hold me close
Let me feel your love
beyond this poetry and prose.

I crave your heat
Seek your hand
Long for your presence
And don't always understand

Why I need you close
even at times of turbulence
your soft quiet contact
reminds me of your presence

And even when our
conversation's unknown
your sweet embrace
makes me feel less alone.

The wave does not ask before she crashes into your sand castle.
She tumbles ahead with a sort of mocking indifference.
Perhaps you brought both your buckets and your shovels
But her force comes from the changing tides.
