With the loss of a loved one, it is hard to feel,
It seems like a dream-- this can't be real...
One moment they're here; and then, they're gone.
And now I will sing their song... . . . more

to all of our troops who serve;
May the Lord bless and keep you,
showering you with the protection you deserve.
To all of the men and women
who fight so we . . . more

From a lady in red
From a General in white
Born from sass and sage
Born from feisty wisdom
Sibling harmony
Sibling demise
Father’s nurture
Father’s fall
Engaged . . . more

Did you hear my muffled sobs?
Did you read my bottled letter?
Did you see my chafed insides?
Did you touch my roughened skin?
Silence.
An empty page.
Slit eyes.
No soothing balm.
Daddy?
Did you cry when . . . more

Dancing to the beat of my heart,
Rhythm murmurs whisper hope
Pounding truth of the drum that's beaten
Now I've tripped. The thin floor will cave in
Mama Mama, I am still . . . more

Who do you see
As you look in the mirror
Cigarette hanging from your lips
Ashes blow in the wind
Did you ever think
You'd turn her away
As you typed each letter
Anger seeping . . . more

(I wrote this when I was fifteen years old)
I laugh,
go to school,
giggle with my friends
and flirt with boys,
Pretending
that I'm innocent,
Pretending
that I'm the same,
trying . . . more

The beat of a heart within you mind, reminds you you're alive
The silver voice of falling rain is no longer filled with pain
Look upon the sun and learn how to smile again
I am with you, your shadow, . . . more

Blueberry essence
Sugar spun hair
Snow drift smile
Crayola laughter
Taunting grin
Cowgirl abandon
Fawn eyed lashes
Childish wisdom
Alyssa, I'm playdough . . . more

Continuum of time,
Arranged in cycles,
Repeating,
Occassionally,
Until the Carnie,
Sends,
Everyone away at,
Last.

Mama used to say
It smells like snow ,
and I didn't understand,
but knew that when she said it,
snow was surely coming.
Daddy would put chains on his truck,

Tomes of torn, tattered pages
Right handed glove for miniature fingers
Euphoric laughter of childhood jokes
Adult's advice, for future untold
Sepia photos of ancestors past
Uneven lines from journals . . . more

Asphalt skinned knees
Wisteria tangled hair
honeysuckle breeze
Bubble gum tongue
Mother whispered lies
Of future gems of promise
Father boasted
Of his diamond in the rough
We can't . . . more

It's almost Christmas, Dad
why are you always drunk?
What? Slap!
Rotten kid, we never wanted kids!
All right, I knew then, unwanted too.
Mom made the traditional dinner
that nobody could eat.
Wanting . . . more

Chicken in the frying pan,
Great illusions past,
With family gathered in,
Mom served us more than dinner.

There are dark days ahead in our world,
getting longer and darker as they go by.
Sunshine only makes my eyes hurt,
but rain makes me cry.
His room, while nice is still a hospital; . . . more
