Missing Beautifully Broken

     She was smart and witty
But her pen name told her story
It tells us that she’s been hurt
And her heart lives in purgatory

Through her pain
Her wit made me smile
But our friendship lasted
For just a short while

We shared our poetry here
And in doing so we shared our soul
My darkness from a childhood past, hers
From a love washed down a drain hole

But through our pain, hello poetry
Gave us a place to bond
And it allowed us to be vulnerable
And to correspond

But now she has disappeared
Her face and poetry are gone
Just like the night disappears
To give way to a new dawn

Now my heart breaks because words
Written and read are like words spoken
Hello poetry will never be the same
Now that it’s Missing Beautifully Broken 💔

A Drop Of Rain

    When you’re down and feeling lost
Like a needle in the hay
When the darkness surrounds you
And you feel you’ve lost your way

When the world doesn’t know your name
And it seems like you’re just a number
And if it seems you’re living in a never ending storm with constant lightning and thunder

Just hold on to your faith
And know that Jesus will carry you
And soon before you know it
The light will come shining through

And you can hold your head high
Because your faith was strong
And in your heart you know that Jesus
Can make right whatever was wrong

And if you ever start to feel sad
And your heart begins to fill with pain
You’ll know you never have to fear
Another day, with a drop of rain

Nurse Angels

      It’s an evil world we live in
And the Demons hide in the shadows
Down below is where they call home
Where the fire burns and the smoke billows

Satin is their king and he loves his little
Games and he whispers in our ears
He loves to cause chaos and he uses
The media to play on our fears

Every day problems can bring us down
But we must see our way through
It gets harder each day to keep our faith
But it’s something we must all do

And if you ever find yourself in the hospital
Because life threw you a curve
There’s something I know from experience
And I’m sure you too will observe

The Devil and his demons are no match
For God and he’s covered all the angles
And one of those many ways is because
He gave us all Nurse Angels

I dedicate this poem to my daughter
Karissa, she is one of the Nurse Angels
This poem is about.

Entity

        As an individual I am one within
Myself as an independent identity
A living breathing form of life
Science would explain me as an Entity

I am and you are no different than
The rock or the flower or the tree
We are all one with all of Earths wonder’s
Each as special as the dog, bird and bee

I once wore a shirt that had a print
That read I am special, I am me
This is true but it applies to all
I am sure with this it’s easy to agree

But we are not so special that we can
Put ourselves above the others
No matter our riches or fame or power Because we’re all sisters and brothers

That’s right you heard me clearly
This is our real glorious reality
Our God the Creator he made everything
And we’re all one big entity

Unsaid

    To everyone in my family
I know that I’m just a big egghead
And if I ever hurt you, I apologize
And I just didn’t want it to go unsaid

Sometimes actions and words can cut
Like a knife, though blood is never bled
And I hope I never caused any pain
And I just didn’t want it to go unsaid

I love you all, though time has passed us
By like water flows through a riverbed
life has separated us and I miss us
And I can’t let it go unsaid

I forgive for the times that I felt I wasn’t
Treated right I put it out of my thick head
I hope you can all do the same and
I just didn’t want it to go unsaid

So please if I’ve ever hardened your heart
Don’t let these words be misread
I truly love all of you and I just couldn’t
Let it go, no I just couldn’t let it go unsaid

Someone I Use To Know

   In the darkness
I’m sitting all alone
The silence is broken
By the tone of my phone

The caller ID reveals your name
I just let it ring
The memories of you began to flow
Once you were my everything

I remember falling in love and holding on
Like taking the bull by the horns
Forgetting that love is fragile as the rose
As the tears flow I feel the pain of thorns

It’s unimaginable to be here now
With a heart that’s broken
As the phone rings again I can see your name
Again but I have no words to be spoken

I remember how seeing your name on my
Phone would make me glow
But you threw it all away and now you’re
Just someone I use to know

Soon There Be Snow

     Spring is just a distant memory
Now that the crispness of Fall has settled in
The wood has been chopped for the fire
To warm the chill of spine and skin

All the preparations have been made
But nothing can truly prepare
The harshness of winter is for nothing
But the Abominable and the Polar bear

Summer has slipped away, its heat long
Forgotten and hidden by clouds of grey
As Winter is knocking on the door
Adding to my dismay

I know that I must accept it because
I know the seasons will change
It would definitely be weird without it
But I would welcome the strange

So I guess there’s just one thing left to
Do and that’s to stock up with Bordeaux
For one thing is for certain
Soon there be Snow
