If anger was poison
I would be dead
I must learn to move on
it fights infections
cleans and vitalizes lungs,
 fights virus , mullein
Vrbascum thapsus
worn under a dress
used to start plant from cutting
an action verb, slip

when a heart broken
lover
pours out all
her feelings and
translates them onto
words. something
beautiful gets created.
appreciated by many but
never the one
she's always written her
heart out for.

trees are changing their robes;
on misty mornings
I am sitting on my porch.
a book  
I've found in a vintage bookstore
at the corner of my street
is lying in my lap

drinking a tea
wrapped into my favorite blanket
and watching my neighbors
carving their pumpkins

smelling the scent
of firewood
while also listening to
Frank Sinatra

autumn, oh autumn
where have you been?

Do you ever think
of a poem
that's amazing

and you're sure you'll remember
to write it down

but you won't
This is kind of my mood right now.
Here's my prayer for you this week
Whether your faith be strong or weak
Miracles will take place in your life
Such that your joy will reach its peak
Your heart desires will come to pass
And testimonies will fill your mouth
The blessings that you will receive
Will make someone believe that
God is gracious and good.

her espresso eyes,
her sun-kissed cheeks,
her hazelnut hair,
her steady smile,
her lively laugh
her playful personality,
her elegance.
