Your loving gaze
Like sun rays
Thawed my cold heart
I thought I was falling apart
Nothing made sense
Until you touched my hands
How could that be?
Such power over me?
I looked into your eyes
In mine you saw the whys
But what I saw in yours
Took away my fears

the journey to my truths
started with too many lies
that’s how I know
yesterday’s pain
and today’s sorrow
will be tomorrow’s joy

A hint of spices
In his meat slices
His hackles rise
He's ready to scythe
The imbecile
Who ruined his appetite

What does your daddy do?
He got rid of his working shoes
When he does not snooze
He listens to old tunes
While his tea brews
He reads the news
He likes to cruise and take in the views
My daddy is cool.

What about your mommy?
She's busy, busy making money
Take a break honey, says daddy.
I'm still young, she gets cocky.
Give her a ***, she'll make a curry
Ask her for a penny, she'll buy you a pony
Witty, sassy, finicky, pretty and many
More to add to her personality.
Let me end her story
Before you say I love her more than daddy.

withered flowers
my heart in tatters
there goes my forever

numerous times
I’ve thought of
the many times
you didn’t care
enough to
check on me
for old times’ sake

Of poetry
and prose
his words
remind me
Every time
we talk
I bloom
like a rose
