(2015)
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
