Photo by Johannes Plenio on Pexels.com Servants of the past illustrated our dreams Where stormy skies are bedecked with hope One time One heart One chosen way That was the only way To travel through life’s softly scented roses Their thorns disguised by long-lived time And false promises The hour will come The change WhenContinueContinue reading “Maelstrom”

Not Lost Anymore
Photo by Keenan Constance on Pexels.com I thought to walk alone through life A victim of these modern days Where love leads straight to grief and strife And very few can find always Instead I found my Mr Right To walk with me where angels tread And I no longer fear the night Or spendContinueContinue reading “Not Lost Anymore”
Tears
Photo by Mateus Souza on Pexels.com I cry for everything you were Everything you will not see Everything you could have been Things you never had a chance to be I love the life I have With the folks surrounding me But sunny days and silly moments Don’t fill the gap where you should beContinueContinue reading “Tears”
Marketing Plan
Photo by MART PRODUCTION on Pexels.com I wrote this in 2012 when I was thinking about the work I wanted to do and how to present it. Often, when my ideas won’t fall into a semblance of order, I turn to poetry and just let the words flow onto the page. This was the result.ContinueContinue reading “Marketing Plan”
The Rest is silence

Second Best
Photo by Nathan Cowley on Pexels.com SECOND BEST Limpid blue pools to fall into A soft landing to sucker the fey A heart that’s as closed as a solid steel safe Do I dare love you? No way You love an idea that you’ve encountered A belief in the things you deserve And I’m certainContinueContinue reading “Second Best”
Always Chasing
Photo by Yan Krukau on Pexels.com I chose this image because although this poem comes from my ‘More Than a Woman’ series, I honestly believe that all genders have similar experiences in life. The sad thing about this series was that a male friend of mine was going to write poems from a male viewpoint,ContinueContinue reading “Always Chasing”
Voyage
Photo by Jessica Lewis Creative on Pexels.com Sometimes you can journey far and wide, only to discover that you were in the perfect place before you left. We humans reach out, reach forward, reach behind us, and in doing so we often miss what’s right there in front of us. Never forget to explore theContinueContinue reading “Voyage”
