Story Teller
Good and bad- In everything… There are always consequences. Why then- Do we continue to be surprised- When our words- Even filled with good intentions… Suffer too, a tragedy? Learn from mistakes- Hear what is good… And then finish the story- Just as any story teller should.

Speak
If I lost the ability to speak Would you hear what I had to say? No matter how I communicated- Would conversation find a way? Are you interest in the story- My lips wish to tell? Would you be a character- Even if you are the one who fell? Is there a darkness- And sought…

Family
There are days to like you- And some to hate what you have done. Moments to love you- And others to cry some. There are days to trust you- And others to doubt… Moments to hug you- Or to let you pout. There are days to leave- And others to stay… But living my life…

Picking Up Pieces
The faded blue summer sky highlighted the heat for Amanda’s friends and her to play in today. Hide and seek, running through sprinklers and drinking from the hose would be a part of their play time. Only children appreciate carefree days like this. Amanda loved to play outside. Each year her light blonde hair would…

Saving Grace
The light pouring through the basement window was bright but altered through the dirt stuck to the glass. Noise from the outside was as clear inside as it was outside. Life was failing to be blocked from the darkness I was seeking. Failure is too often the best friend of my choices. I tried dying…

Finding My Path
I have known I am lost for quite some time now. I have found pieces of me missing, but I am not sure when they wandered away. I know I am destined for a new path, but I seem to only wander in circles instead of finding it. I need a lot of help, but…

Chance
Checking the minutes But you’re still not here… Only the distance Is becoming more clear. No forcing the wants Or needing to reject- Just the hope to give in Without needing to protect. It won’t fix tomorrow Or repair the past- Helps make a memory As time moves fast. Wants are open And expectations are…
-
Stolen Moment
You don’t have to be my regret I don’t want to silence your voice- But the need for opportunity… To give wants a voice. No titles or lines To divert or mislead… Just the chance to explore- And hearts to feed. No love to cherish But a heart to feel- A relationship to adore- And…

Love?

Do You Know What I Know?
There is never just one opportunity- Or just one simple choice. Good and bad will always exist- So careful how you use your voice. Did you get knocked down? Were you thankful when you stood? Did you focus on the anger? Or from it what was good? Pain is a part of life- But so…

Dear John
Dear John If that was your name… A burning desire… Will never be the same. No hiding the truth Or manipulating lies… Just the need to grieve From deep in my thighs. In-love with the memory- Burned by reality- And for a moment no hope- For something to save me. I was good at…
-
Lost Words
Only words- So many to be said- Yet nothing to say… A wire to tread. If words were spoken But the choice was wrong- The ending the same… Just without the song. So alone to sit- While facing mountains to climb; And the story to tell… Chanced by time. While left unspoken – Inside…
-
Late Sorry
Have you ever said sorry? But you’re not sure what for? But you knew you were sorry- Before you ever closed the door. Did you pour the glass And try to relax… But realize what has happened- And your confidence cracks. Have you ever really wanted Something that wasn’t yours? Did you ignore the needs?…
-
Boob Humor
Boobs they sag When before they created stares… And as you get older- They show how little you care. No more standing at attention- And lucky to fit in your cup- They start to lose interest.. And suddenly the jig isn’t up. If they were a part of having children- That just speeds up the…

A Little Slow
When I went to Petco last Friday I was thankful I didn’t have the money for a turtle. It’s not that a turtle is expensive, but setting up their habitat is, and I knew that was money I didn’t need to spend. BUT – I liked a turtle in the store. It followed me everywhere…

The Little Things
I took a few days off from work. It was forced really. Leadership made the announcement that we had to have our PTO time down to 40 hours or less by April 1st, and any time over 40 hours would be forfeited. Well, I am not giving anything back I have earned, so 220 hours…

2016 Election
All, I shy away from politics. I vote, and I pay attention, but I avoid the battles in fighting with people. I believe fighting about politics or religion is a waste of time. Fighting doesn’t change your opposition’s view, but it does waste minutes of your life. This election is very important and difficult. It…

Open Haiku
Opportunities Live in success and failure So quiet your mind.

EVERYTHING
Reason without understanding Life is maddening When fighting what is to be. Perhaps the wreckage Will allow the dissection For all who finally see. Fighting logic with reason Is a fool’s hope And only available weapon. After energy spent And the war is over Left is just a lesson. Live and repeat Until it ends…

DOING IT RIGHT
I COULD THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW- WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO? GIVE ME WHAT I WANT, SURE! BUT SERVE SACRIFICE TO THE FUTURE TOO. TAKE YOUR TIME! DO THE “HAVE TOs” RIGHT! SOME NEEDS ARE TEDIOUS- BUT THE SLEEP IS BETTER AT NIGHT. IT IS NOT WRONG TO HAVE WANTS! AND ACCORDINGLY GOALS ARE SET-…
-
Office Visit
Wanting it here While begging you gone… Seeking the illusion of forever- Absence felt by dawn. Scattered memories fight Where sanity once lived- Becoming only a skeleton… What more is there to give? Chaos strives within Silence a coveted fantasy… Anxiety the common feeling- A future lacking any strategy. Left only to come to an…

Saving Grace
Jon’s daily walks brought peace on difficult days, and allowed him to have at least one healthy habit. Today his walk was different. Today the walk cemented a sadness inside – instead of providing solace from a hectic world. The loss of his angel was something there was no comfort for, and even his legs…

An Idea
When will you find me? What will I do? Will I be something positive? Will I be something new? Will I be that moment That you never forget? Or will I be an opportunity That isn’t there just yet. Will I start as a passing thought Forgotten too fast? And when the brain matures just…

Attack
Sudden panic The loss of reality- Without a new one. Head Spinning. Chest pounding. I don’t feel well… But I can’t tell you why. The need to RUN Nowhere to hide. Make it stop- As breath and time can only do. Back to sanity- And reality too.

Missing Truths
So many connections And networks in place Making sure information is passed At a record pace. Very little we learn Filled with absolute truth- And so we are filled with lies Before entering the voting booth. The media the winner- And the public the loser- So many fingers pointed- At different accusers. I want…

My Power
I walk along a darkened path- Because the candle’s light lets me see… The heart of people provides the fire… For the light in me to be. 30 seconds of calm thought- Can dampen angers rage… The spirit of hope then finds us- And allows to turn the page. May we light the candle…
