ROSES ON THE FENCE
Burst of red in the air Gaily dancing, no care - On the fence - a rose in bloom. Sweet aroma floats by Fragrant breeze fill the sky Freeing air of any gloom. Eyes delight in this . . .

LUCKY
I found a four leaf clover
I held it in my hand
A strong wind blew it away
"Come back!" was my command.
It did not, so then a cat
As black as velvet night
Crossed . . .

dawn sheds pale light
pink shadows drip from above
burnt away mid day

Note: This is based on my continuing experience with my 20 yr old daughter who is recovering from a cocaine/meth addiction. As horrible as it was and is for me, I cannot begin to imagine her . . .

BOOK OF MY LIFE
The cover is worn
the pages are tattered
the printing, faded;
it's been beaten and battered.
Some pages are missing
by the wind they were torn
some pages . . .

THE GIFT
Holiday lights upon the tree,
Virgin, statue, on bended knee,
Gifts to be wrapped, given in love,
Peace for one night, sent from above.
Soft snow fall, a blanket . . .

AT THE GRAVESIDE
Fresh dirt clings to his shoes
and the misty morning moistens his hair,
his face,
hiding the tears that no man wants to cry.
His new suit, shapeless, formless, . . .

FLOW
eternal bridging
cleansing the past in ripples
forgetting time
wandering with a purpose
always moving forward

CANDLE
Can't see! It's dark!
And there are monsters after me!
No, no, no! They are so close,
Don't let them get to me.
Leave me alone. Go away! . . .

on a glass ...
memories
of little girl kisses
reminders
that at twenty-one
you are not too old
for a hug.

SWEET SMILE
innocence alive
sparkling behind shining eyes
joy-filled rosy cheeks
soft giggles swiftly escape
your mischief keeps unwinding

You yell
I scream
the flames only get higher
the rage burns in you
blackens what is in me ...

FEAR
Fear has a way
of getting right in your face ...
solitude
unfinished work
alone-ness
all of it
right there
to look at
evaluate
at the death
of a friend
