Color

Sometimes
I look at couples

with their perfect families

               holding tight to a
kaleidoscope
          of joy

and I wonder
why everything I see

is so black and white

        and I wish
someone could show me
a glimpse
                  of color that doesn't fade

You Know Who

She was a New England winter:
Unpredictable,
with bouts of freezing temperatures
whirlwind snowfalls,
aand
fleating moments
of
sunshine.

Safety

Some lies are of omission
remaining deep inside
others pour down like rain
without a place to hide

Although they are quite different
their quest may be the same
to find a place of safety
to help silence their shame

Suddenly

... and then one day
                   you came along
with your handsome self
               eyes that tell your story
           boyish attitude
enduring smile
and
playful ways
opening my eyes to the world again
stealing my saddened heart
                                to give it life
and then suddenly
everything I had questioned
                      made sense

Crazy

Together,*
we possess
just
the right amount
of *CRAZY
to
burn up our future
or
light up our world.

But
for now,
the only thing
that is certain
is that we
struck the match
and
the darkness has
disappeared,
which makes for a
*beautiful beginning.

Belief

Lets
make a deal.
I won't try to convince
you into believing what I
do, if you stop trying to talk
me out of believing in what you
don't

Captivity

Some
people hold
onto their
pain and sadness
like a mother
with her
newborn child

It
grows as
the years pass by
being nurtured
along the
way
becoming
a part
of them

Making
setting it free
just as
heartwrenching
as
being held
captive
by it
