Sea Glass

Thursday, June 23, 2022


The white sands remembering

How she sat on the shore

Digging her shovel in search

Of treasure, years before

Though taller, she walks 

Along the waters edge

Still searching for something

Not knowing

That she’s finding herself

Like the sea

A beautiful vision 

She’s strong and free

But she, herself, cannot see

Her edges polished

By waves of pain

A shining sea glass

She’ll glisten again

Her siren song

Sent in the winds

Was captured by a love 

A world away

Her treasure she’ll find 

Deep within

Her sea of love 

Will rise again


Reflections

Sunday, June 19, 2022


Life now so sweet

Desires of yesterday

So trivial today

Life as it was

Quickly dies away

As thoughts of tomorrow

Take center stage

Plans abruptly altered

No longer time to waste

Words, left unsaid

Once, held inside

Now find their voice

With no need to hide

Life changes unexpectedly

And the future is a gift

Cherish every moment 

That comes to pass

Because, 

Only love matters

And only love will last


Silent Whispers

Friday, June 10, 2022


Silent whispers 

A secrets keep

Words buried in

A heart so deep

Long to be shared 

To be set free

But fear of rejection

Their destiny

Hours to ponder

Words locked away

Eventually will find

The light of day

When whispered 

To tainted lips

Honesty swiftly 

Becomes a lie

Betrayal, a poison

Takes to the wind

Shared to all 

By evenings end

A trust once broken

Dies on that day

Secrets of the heart

Are best unsaid

Or vowed to only

A love intended

Empty Tears

Wednesday, June 8, 2022


Empty tears

I refuse to cry

As a last ditch effort 

To change your mind

If left unshed

Then you’ll stay

And life will remain 

As it was before

You, still in love

Me, free from pain

An emotional flood

Held at bay

But tears have a way

Of finding their path

When forced to face

Life plans unmade

Your decision to leave 

I don’t understand

I’m too tired to fight

This invisible dam

I’ll find the strength 

To carry me through

The tears I’ll cry

Won’t be for you


Speaks Softly

Tuesday, June 7, 2022


Your heart speaks softly

As it consoles

Its cadence a comfort

A place to rest

My face nestled

Upon your chest 

I’ve never felt more alive

Blanketed by the warmth

Of your tender skin 

Together under mountains 

Of downy white

Breathing peacefully

On this coldest of winters night

Embers crackle as though to say

Their flame will burn 

Long after the break of day

How I too, wish

To remain, 

Here, within this loving cocoon

Held tightly while awaiting 

The golden rays of dawn

But all too soon

Dreams fade away

A love once lived

A dying flame

A gust of wind

A melted snow

Everything has

Its time to go
