I cannot let you hold my happiness For your hand to caress or to drop It is not healthy It is not safe For your happiness to depend on an… I’m taking it back but no longer r…
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
