The One I Miss

It isn't the angry boastful child That made up all the lies. Nor the man that was consumed by them With his ego-boasting sighs. It isn't the lustful woman that had them all Hanging on a hook. It isn't the one sitting in the basement That honestly, is a crook. Not the one that I...

Afterthought

I'm an afterthought achievement Just hunted for the sport. To know me is to love me; But I'm not even in his court. Solemnly he remembers He must send me a thought! He does it for the sport, Just doesn't want to get caught. While he touts his love everywhere It isn't even for me....

Grace

We are going to take this slowly An agonizing pace. This isn't for the weak of heart You'll require plenty of grace. It'll push you to your limits Begging for it to stop. May get a little dirty Nothing that will need a mop. Slow is the word today Tomorrow it will be too. A...

Anymore

I glamour myself up a bit Play coy, even a little aloof. Never call them back Even if I really want to. They follow the rules Then at some point become interested. It is in that fraction of a second I realize I don't want them anymore.

Someday

Time wraps itself gently around my body Reminding me we are alone, and shall remain so. Dodging destiny like a kid that just stole a car Merging endlessly with whatever fate has to do with it. I adore the way he didn't apologize that night For pouring his heart out on a table I didn't...

Dundee

Hair blows in my face as I manage a drink of coffee Watching everyone walk by unimpressed and unencumbered. Life stretches out before me in this town Yet there is no direction or course that I can think of just now. With a gentle nudge from the universe I put on my coat Walk a...

Wanting

Sat for a season in my chair Waiting for him to realize That I still loved him. Nothing stirred me to move He never reached out Had he forgotten? Snow falls on an empty porch Nobody has the desire to decorate. Sins lay around a home Nobody is wanting to be in. Fortitude is the...
