Love for Today.

Today I will dance with the children that don’t get loved

And I will share with them, a beautiful melody.

Today I will become the first lady to eat a bug and to

Whisper words of August Rain.

Today I will show the world that everything is pretty to me

And we will understand the coyotes howl to the Full Moon.

Today I will be me, and I will love it, only to see 

that the world can be as round as a peach may be. 

Don’t Know, but Now I Know Mr. Sullivan.

A man by the name Mr. Sullivan rode me to work today.

Not in a car, not by train, Mr. Sullivan rode a bike.

He placed my body in the front basket and we went on our way.

He rode to work every day, on his bike.

Three miles there, Three miles back.

Today I rode with Mr. Sullivan to work.

He shared stories of love, hate and horrible beers. 

A nice soul he sure was, he handed me a cigarette.

We shared laughs and bug bites.

The cigarette reminded me of the blues in the 70s

And the bar where my Mother met me for the first time.

Today I know where Mr. Sullivan came from.

I learned how to love all men, and where to buy the best beer.

The way his skinny lips hit each other after every laugh.

He brings me back to days where I used to breathe and love.

He remained my best friend until his dog died.

Poem

Open Eyes.

Open Soul.

Open Wound.

Open Mouth.

Open Door.

Open Sign.

Open Throat.

Open Arms.

Open Love,

Never

Ends.

Mowing my Heart Lawn.

As flowers grow through my soul,

The blue bird sings me to my death.

Beautiful as a bee, humble like a man.

The light is all we have to cherish.

Love more than loved, and you will see.

Open Water River from my heart to yours.

Land in a pool of love, only to shake it off.

Branches brush my thigh, even fish have to die.

In a world where you can be anything, being kind is enough.

White flower haze.

As she rose her heavenly spirit screamed.

Flowers danced around her as the rain began to pour.

Droplets formed on her eyelashes where butterflies used to play.

The sound of children crying and tulips being born filled the air.

0.

Angel eyes.

Hair like stray.

Her bubble gum tongue.
