Leaves

Leaves just turning—
streaks of sun part somber clouds,
warm against sharp wind.

M

I don’t know what she has —
but it pulls me in
like the tide obeys the moon.

Every glance
is a spark against my skin,
every word
a knot in my breathing.

I want it all with her —
the mornings, the storms,
the years I haven’t lived yet.

When she walks into the room
my hands forget themselves,
my heart trips over its own steps,
and I realize —
I’m not just in love,
I’m hers already.

Pond

A small pond forms
from the tiny patting hands
of the spring raindrops.

Sugar

Sugar sprinkled
across a licorice sky—
the stars!

Dear Henry

Dear Henry

Dear Henry,

You never knew me,
But your work transcended
Far beyond Walden Pond.

Two centuries later,
I find your spirit in my words.
I hear the wind through your cabin walls.
I trust that a man in the woods speaks louder than a crowd.

Thank you for being the spark that lit my voice.
You wrote my soul before I was born,
You dared my mind to try.
I'm honored to keep your spirit alive.

My Kind Of Beauty

My Kind Of Beauty

I will not write of daffodils,
Nor will I praise the rose.
Don't get me wrong - I see their beauty.
I just don't connect to their charm.

Sweet and tender they shine,
Picked, sold, gifted as a treat.
Beauty to look at, easy to get.
I do not want what I haven't got.

Instead, I'll write of sunshine,
Of untamable feral perfection,
Of things that bite
Should you try to claim them.

I'll write of striking composition,
Wilting within our gardened trip,
Yet blooming when undisturbed and wild,
Sharp-edged and stubbornly bright.

I'll write of what my soul needs most,
I'll write of gorse.

Closed Doors

I thank God for the Rejections
I thank God for the No's
I'm Happy with a turn downs because
In my heart God knows
He Leads me down another direction
His Angels guard me with protection
For this I know This is just a Lesson
I Thank God for the
Unanswered Calls
All my uprisings and my downfalls
I Thank God for the Yays and the Nays
For I'm Looking Forward for my Better Days
I Thank God for the Let downs
He was Always there and will Always be Around
I Thank God for the Good and the Bad
I Thank Good for the Happy and Sad
I Thank God for the Closed Doors
I Thank God for what He has has Store!!
