It is with sadness I depart, To fly off paved tarmark, Soaring high and homeward bound, To my old home town, Vast is the feelings, And in truth there is no telling, How I will miss you so, Leaving my family behind in winter snow, Merry were the holidays, Building everlasting memories, Blessed were we…

TRAPPED, but letting go.
The truth hurts deep inside, I let you walk all over me, I let you take our kids away from me, My life hurts, I can only imagine how much you hurt, I can only imagine how your heart burns, to reek revenge on me, For how I hurt you, Everyone see’s but you, The…
VETERAN
Boots on my feet, Living a hundreds of fleeting dreams, Memories float like stars all about, Catching glimpse of an old me, Young, fit, and motivated, Standing out, shining bright, Medals that mean nothing, Awards for jobs well done, Paper trails everywhere, Automatically judged and alienated, A lot of us get caught by drink or…
Distant Love
Looking into your eyes, Long has it been since I saw them, Your photo held dear to my heart, Your voice a trailing memory, But, still my love remains, Growing each day, As you grow behind curtains that never open, Your stage a mystery to me, Growing into a man, Your the star that never…
Meeting My Grandmother

Tiny Hand
Your little hand wrapping tight around my finger, Bright blank eyes seeing only dim light, Fogged images, love melding us, Forever locked together, Father and son, Bond forged in iron, Locked behind gilded lock, Key and die set for eternity, Sealed away forever in our hearts.
Morning Coffee: #5
I miss my Grandmother dearly. We were never close; but, never too far apart to know we loved each other very much. Her phone calls were short, always to the point. She had strong values and a stronger love for family. She anchored many ships in our family and now I see them adrift as…
Morning Coffee: #4
Sipping coffee, listening to ‘Deep Cuts: A Perfect Circle – EP’ ~ Orestes (Demo) ~. What a perfect start to the morning. The pain still sits deep in my chest about my Grandmother’s passing; but, the sun shines around the darkest clouds. Bits of memories, cardinal birds, snowmen, winter holidays, and many table side dinners….
Morning Coffee: #3 Madre
Sitting quietly by my desk this morning I turned on some easy listening music. Slowly settling into the groove I slid out the construction paper and chalk. Casualy daydreaming about childhood memories of my Madre. I love her and often think of her sweet voice and smile. My beautiful Madre. Your tower was long ago…
MY TWO STARS
You cried and filled my heart, Love exploding, supernova bright, My sons, Each handsome and lively, Unique and filled with personality, I love thier expressions, Each filled with different passions, You’re both a star lighting my heart.
