  • Moving Mountains One by One

    I’ve tumbled through the rolling hills, hiked to the snow-capped peaks, stargazed in the desert with Joshua trees and driven up the Pacific coast to get a closer look at that picturesque ocean where locals claim anything goes I’ve snorkeled through Atlantic waters, crossed the longest bridges, drifted through meandering rivers, and flown over the…

  • We Don’t Talk About That

    Drifting thoughts of us strike during the long hours of the dayIt’s that time once againBut we won’t talk about it now We’ll say so much to fit inThe space between the silenceBut those days where we lit up the sky,We won’t talk about that now Fantasies creep inSome days, or most days,What we’ve done…

  • The Elephant Moms

    In a distant land there lies a village of elephant moms. They’ve bonded over time through struggles and times of joy. They lift each other up and surround themselves and their families in love. They carry the torch from one to the other in times of need to keep the light shining. They heal, protect,…

  • Mr. Tomato

    Mr. Tomato, my daughter calls you. Cute as can be, I laugh it off.But after giving it further thoughtshe has an idea that might be true:when squeezed too tightlyyour insides start to fall apart.But I’ll take it,maybe even with a slice of toast.Licking my fingertips,I want to savor every last drop.

  • Cold Rushing In

    I open the doors On a winter’s night The cold rushes in Exposing the fragility of my plight. I’ll never learn. Always the one to run Too far, too fast Into someone else. Immersing myself as I did in the past. I should take heed, Call it quits, Just breathe And walk away. Listen to…

  • A Pause…

    It was all so close Was it just a dream for us to walk along the Thames Was it all in my head that we’d walk along the Seine To breathe in the spring flower beds To wrap ourselves in the warmth of our kisses The breeze would flow through my hair The sun would…

  • The Disposables

    We met there in the bar most nights the same drink the same table conversing over troubles we leaned on each other in those long nights This night I sit and wait at the same table with the same drink you haven’t arrived yet and I linger for hours wondering Nights like this pass was…

  • The Haunting

    Is it better to have a love lost Not knowing about the other side To have a deep hole in your heart To keep what was lost in the past And always wonder ‘what if’ Or to have it come back, Haunt you And realize it was true Always has been And he’s thinking of…

  • Inspirations

    First loves inspired my first writings Battles of insecurities Mixed with lovesick blues All poured out onto paper as quickly as they could Waves of inspirations beating against the currents Then inspirations went out the door And out of sight Then all at once it came back again A chain reaction A flood gate opening…

  • Seize the Moment

    It’s Sunday morning I run down to the park We lock eyes while you’re strolling by Electricity ignites deep inside Do I stop?Do you dare say hello?Do we say anything at all? So much we want to say So much we want to do So much we’ve longed for To only have this passing moment…
