Kind words are free; offered by th
They edify, they comfort, they beg
But words unkind cut deeper than a
They hurt and destroy even across
Thus, with your words be careful,

In a fetal position
I lay on the floor
In excruciating pain
I never felt before…
Pain, none can assuage,

In the dark, young children squeal
Ghouls everywhere, goblins laughin
Witches in pointed hats
A clowder of black cats
Quite a spooky night to go carousi

My young son threw a ball at me
But sadly, he caught me unaware
And it bounced right in front of m
Oh! I melted at his wounded stare
Perhaps more focused I should be

Our past life, it matters not
When our misdeeds are forgiven
With a clean slate, we start afres
And with eyes clear, we see heaven
Forget the past? Never must we!

The pitter patter of the rain
As droplets hit the window pane
Soothed her much like a lullaby
And she found herself in a dream
Flying free, riding a moonbeam,

Five years ago, we met
I’ve been in love since then;
I prayed for someone such as you
And you came down from heaven!
I’ll be with you for always

Just can’t paint, nor write songs
Sadly I take terrible pictures to
But I do the next best thing
I write about it, for me and you
So, always armed with pen and pape

Early, I awakened this morning
To watch the sun rise from the sea
As always, this amazing feeling
Exhilaration, as my spirit flies f

She promised to come soon
And only a few days remain
Tension and excitement
Driving me insane
Soon we’ll be together

she reached across the bed,
but he’s gone!
a dark feeling embraced her,
but the deepest sadness too...
her spirit’s broken

It’s a season of promise that all’
Heaven smiles; yeah! The future’s

Nature’s beauty has cast a magical
Sadly, spring will eventually bid

Come
Mend my heart
Broken into pieces
Come
Fix my dreams ripped apart

Someday... someone…
Will wander into your life
She’ll rock your world; turn it up
She’ll put an end…
To all of your emotional strife

I’ve tried to find meaning
in everything I see
But sometimes a sunset’s
just a moment to cherish...
Often times I have stopped

Incredible, amazing, living in an
Days often sunny, the nights alway
Then comes a hurricane
All that wind and rain
Terrifying storm that from the dar

great it is to have a friend
who has your welfare in mind
who sticks with you till the end
a real treasure, one of a kind
and the good news he brings you

A secret passion;
A peculiar indulgence
She kept from everyone
Except her conscience!
And for so many years

When our moment becomes just a mem
And today lapse into tomorrow
Will it be a nightmare or a reveri

He could taste the salt in the air
As they walked by the frothy sea
It was so cold but they didn’t car
Her face is all that he could see
They hugged tightly to keep warm

At the young mother he looked
With worried, quizzical eyes
Then said “How come you have
Just one earring?”
Startled, she grabbed both ears

The strong breeze blew my cap away
Chasing after it was simply futile
And I watched it fly over the qua
Into the sea; and I could but smi
For it’s been that kind of a day

Black birds all in flight
Acrobatic explosion
Darkening the sky
Bad weather coming

Once colorful
But not anymore
It’s all I have

I’ve more yesterdays than tomorrow
I reminisce about the past
And recall moments of joys and sor

she flashed her wickedly
seductive smile,
all resistance melted,
a scoop of ice cream
on a hot summer day;

worry and panic drag us down
towards misery and despair
often, we wear a big frown
and love we can’t even share
there’s no joy in the air

The debris that weigh us down,
It’s best to let them go
To compassion, open our hearts
And let the feeling show
Let the flotsam float away,

The roadsides gleam in morning spl
Robed in the blooming garb of spri
Bluebonnets, flowers of every imag
A rainbow tapestry; the bees are m
Frantically, I searched for heave

Even if all my poems gain no accla
Satisfied will I be and bear no s
For my time and effort won’t be fo
Words I write describe the beauty

Ever after seems so far, far away
But it’s what we aim for every day
We pray our love forever will stay
Even after all our hairs turn gray
If we wish our adventure to succee
