Poetry Tuesday – Lived All Along
Lingering shadows, familiar places, Afterthoughts resting in half-empty spaces, Tear drops, broken stems in shattered vases, Part-remembered, shallow faces, Here does the memory fade, And into the heart does fear invade, For all the love once was made, But since it was forbade. Sweet smiles, open wings, Beckoning waves, childhood swings, Forgotten hours, unknown things,…

Poetry Tuesday – My Own
You are a dreamer of the highest kind, One who inspires others to dream. Like a beacon in the night, So you have guided many a lost soul To your safe harbors. I dare to embrace you And keep you as my own. 07/18/02

Poetry Tuesday – Within These Walls
If time could speak, Would we find what we seek? Memories long ago forgotten, Children every year begotten, Echoes down these long halls, All hidden within these walls. If time could see, Would we find who we ought to be? Words etched on aged stone, Left cold and alone, Shadows of what was rise…

Ode to Christmas Insanity
Shopping is done, And presents are wrapped. Wasn’t that fun? More like whacked?! Staying up late Addressing the cards; Now, wait, What’s in my front yard?! The mail truck is here; Let’s run like a fool! Oh, dear, oh, dear! All this for Yule?! Covered in flour up to each elbow, More cookies to bake,…

Poetry Tuesday – Nature’s Wonders
Night whispers, Wind moaning, Starlight caresses, Grasses dancing, Daylight calls, Sun rising, Softly echoes nature’s wonders. -written 2002
