from this morning

you give me life maggie 

With the way things are going…

I can tell it may rain later 
And then you will waltz
Across my garden

  With no business being there
I asked for peace, you gave me 
A hurricane


I can’t stand the skin 
I see in the sea’s reflection

I can see myself 
     Buried under years
Of pretending 

I didn’t exist, 

or

My garden didn’t need water

Well that’s a lie 

I am learning that, 

The Hard Way.

fog

Can’t seem to keep

Moving forward

With love in my left

Pocket and years

That turn into

One long

Day

How is this so familiar

With a decade in between

Nothing seems to

Have changed

Everything, so familiar

The time spent

With you my dear,

Sets fire to my heart

I feel free. My soul sings

Me to sleep. I'm grateful 

You're in my dreams.
