  • Faster Stillness

    Faster Stillness

    When we come into life, it’s been said we scream “Giddy Up!” And go out screaming “Whoa!” In our youth, always saying “Let’s go.” In those later years, holding one’s hand saying “Please don’t let go.” A life lived in measures of zero to sixty, at the end praying more for infinity. So many moments…

    Shorts

    A couple short poems I wrote recently. Title: Damn You Damn you,You were the one.Damn you,more than one night,more than just fun.Damn you,You were the one. Damn you,the one that fit just right.Damn you,the puzzle piece that fit life. Damn you, our life as one,was cut way too short.Damn you. Title: Systemic Why?I will never…

    Expressionless

    What do you say to taking a chance? What do you say to growing up? What do you say to loving again? What do you say to being alone? What do you say to finding a home? What do you say to give up on love? What do you say when your heart is broken?…

  • When the World Stops Spinning

    When the World Stops Spinning

    When the world stops spinning. When I said the world will never change me, I meant it. When I said the world will never move me, I meant it. When I said you were the one for me, I meant it. When I said I believed in you, I meant it. When I said I…

    At the End of This Rainbow

    This is a moment,in my life.I want to be more for you.I want to give you all of me.I want you to see.all of the goodness I can bring.but in me,these limits are all I have.The right church;the wrong pew.The love in my heart.Just isn’t enough for you. Right now,I can only give you half…

  • With All the Love in My Heart

    With All the Love in My Heart

    It still pains me, That there isn’t a day that goes by, That what I am certain we were, Doesn’t cross my mind,I am sorry you met me, The me that was beautifully destroyed,The me that was deeply flawed, But the me who I am,That me loved you,That me held my heart open,That me made…

    3:45 PM

    I don’t know where you’ve been. I know, it’s probably not true. I am looking for you. I don’t know where I’ve been. The voices, they tell me, they tell me it’s okay. I wish, I wish I knew, I wish I knew where to go. Without your hand in mine. I’m afraid I’m out…

  • Aquí Mismo. En Este Momento

    Aquí Mismo. En Este Momento

    We came from different places.Two different roads, Two different countries, Two different histories,Our two paths, once diverged, came together.A beautiful moment, intersected, where love bloomed. From two vastly different backgrounds. Within that moment, all I saw was a future as one. We knew each other’s story. We knew each other’s words. We felt each other’s…

  • Recover and Retell

    Recover and Retell

    To make me happy again I would want one more dance. To take these two left feet and leave it all to chance. Together we would spread these wings and take to flight like a magnificent bird. Even after, the smile that would carve itself on to my face would still feel just a bit…

  • Sheer Force of Will

    Sheer Force of Will

    One day I will,One day you will,One day I will rise up.One day you will see what you have lost.One day I will climb up.One day you will reap the cost.One day I will stand tall.One day you will be the one who has been tossed.One day I will survey it all.One day you will…
