Will you love me enough to leave when i ask you to
You say you can deal with my disease, my eventual confinement
You say you will always love me more than the grains of sand
Yet the band is playing . . . more

How is is you say you love me
When every time you don't get your way
I am the one who is wrong
How Is it you say you love me
When you use the words that cut the deepest
How is . . . more

The heat caused steam to rise from the sidewalks, as I waited that August 4th 1988
I rub my pregnant belly and wipe my brow
You are still inside of me, heavy but still
I . . . more

Voices joined
Whirl in my head
Pain abounds
Flowing in the wind
No joy here
Chaos in its stead
Close my eyes
Feel darkness
Closing . . . more

I went down to the water
The moon my only companion
There to guide me, easily
My only thoughts were of you
Time, moments, feelings
Things we . . . more

My only child is 17 and a half today.
Turn back the clock, is there any way?
"6 months til I'm legal ma!" What can I say.
She wants to grow up so fast, the gaul! . . . more

As we walk through darkness
in a gesture of love, he will forgive
us for all our sins.

The honesty of my heart and soul
Is by no means an inconsequential thing
It is the basis for my life's goal
A life partner that lets my heart sing.
I am as you see me, . . . more

Pay the bills
Do the shopping
Cleaning
Laundry
Feed the dogs
And the cats
Pick up poop
I don't think so
The pool is green

I can feel the Earth move
Blackness glowing with stars
Swirling just out of reach
It doesn't seem real
What is the reason?
Magic

If I walked
through burning sand
and rocky stone
barefoot and alone -
If I walked
through icy tundra
and winter storm
naked as my birth -
If I walked
through my pain
and did . . . more

Who invited this clown?
I don't recall sending an invitation
Yet here he is
Pain in the rearend
Someone escort him out
And tell him to take his vile friends with him
To include chemo, . . . more

When I was young I danced in a fairy ring
Unicorns lived and the world loved everything
My dreams never came to pass
And the unicorns . . . more

Time changes everything
I sat on this rock for fifty years and watched the world around me change.
I watched the laid back ways of life switch off for the oh-so-common hustle bustle of life today.
I watched . . . more

FOOL OR SAGE
Life comes but once to all
Whether fool or sage
It matters less how long
Than what you filled the days.
A gift unto itself . . . more

Padding down the hallway for a midnight drink.
Settling old bones back down on bed for arthritic pets.
Silence has replaced you; now..we grieve and miss you old friend~

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you
Will you hear me or turn me away
With a heart so heavy and full of pain
I have often wondered what you could possibly see in me
All my life I’ve been . . . more

A flower breathes
Through earth it fought
It journeys though the soil
To greet the day
It makes friends with the air
The sun it cherishes
It worships the clouds
For they love this flower
And feed it with . . . more

I want to go home. I have been here long enough. I want to be back to where I belong. I have done all I set out to do. I had my time in the fun and the sun. I got a well needed break. I have no complaints . . . more
