I watch, as you make you plots,
As you devise your schemes.
I wonder,
Wonder what it all means.
You smile your plastic smile,
While lies hang in your teeth like rotting meat, . . . more

Feel free to skip…to the bottom if you want!
I’m a Christian.
I love to read, and if I have an addiction, it is to books.
I have heroes. . . . more

I saw the wind in your in your eyes,
And you saw me see it
So you looked away.
Now I wonder where you've drifted to,
Like a yellow leaf with brown . . . more

When you make it through the fire
And dust off the soot and ash
To find that it's still there,
When you hack through brush and briar
Feeling weary from the dash
To find it . . . more

Sometimes I think there's not much left
of that smiling face, that eager hopeful love.
Too many years of living
with one bad choice
weighs like a sack of armor, worn in defense, . . . more

There has to be a poem somewhere
about the way the morning sun
paints the trees that perfect shade of pink,
inscribing its rosy signature in a soft blushing sky,
punctuated by tiny flitting . . . more

Menghibahkan was a good mama.
She was young but attentive
And worked hard for her children,
Planting rice and sweet potatoes.
She taught her young ones
To sing the tribal . . . more

Close your eyes
Listen
Here in the leaves
Now in the "whys"
There in the song
Of the sweet sad owl
Near in the hollow
Of a lone wolf's howl

Used to stroll
Hand in Hand
Upon the land?
Think mountains were made

You may think me silly for bringing this up,
I know that the lights should be out,
But if you have just a second
Would you mind looking about?
The bed seems . . . more

In this stressful world,
Yours is the presence that quiets me,
The voice that calms me,
The touch that comforts me...
...the love that helps me remember what is most important in each day. . . . more

Big crash, loud bang, rumble, rumble, rumble
The storm monster is on the way and his stomach is a-grumble.
I hear him getting closer; I know he's on the way
Underneath these covers in my hideout . . . more

Look on me with eyes made soft by love.
Hold gentle my heart always close to yours.
If you someday choose to sit upon a horse that's high,
View me with tepid judgment, knowing that I try. . . . more

I've walked a thousand miles,
Walked them all,
To find your smiling face,
Just down the hall.
Each hall was empty as the last,
Each call fell sharp
Like bits of glass,
So I have . . . more

We hit the ground running
so fast, that before we realized it
we were flying.
The way each curve fit
into the other, and the extra arms
made it easy.
We both knew well the story . . . more

The sky held the moment
Between a star and the moon
And the song of a whippoorwill
Fell through
A hole in the last note
Rose, a luminous balloon
Catching the oak tree's . . . more

There'll come sometime, somewhere will be a door
Rough hewn grain that opens to wooden floor
The smell of home will fill up every room
And out the window you will . . . more

Darjeeling
Invite me for a swim in those green tea eyes
I'll take a dip in your tide pools
Listen to the wind sigh
While I sink to the bottom of your china cup.
