Worth

Why are you imposing your view of the world on me? I know who I am. I am not misrepresenting the facts. I’m not being dishonest. I’m being me. Why can’t you let me be me? Why do you need me to absolutely align with your expectations or standards? How come you get to be […]

One

It only takes one,One reason,One idea,One person,One thingTo make a difference.It only takes one moment,One thought,For events to fall into place;To thrive,To achieve,To inspire,To grow.Being whole, Of one heart, And of one mindWill be the key to success.

Petit Regret

I’m sorry for thinking that my love could save you, For not seeing the truth and its lies… For believing that in time you’d learn to love me too… I should’ve known better.

Ether

I feel him, In the darkness… A glimmer. Hope? Love? Lost or found? It sure feels like the end. It was foolish of me to claim his heart, Even after he claimed mine. Without love, what was given can never be returned. What was owed can never be repaid. Perhaps one day we’ll realize how […]

Askew (A Poem)

Off kilter. Off center. Crooked. Undone. Slanted. Lopsided. Taunting. Haunting. Awry.

Trash cans full of ice cold beers. The children play with generic brand toys. The men play domino and swap old war stories. The women toil in the kitchen […]

LoveZach

Sleepy, apprehensive, he lounges stretched out in a soft curve, Sticking out of the owly cover a pointy velvety antenna twitching softly, searching for imperceptible background noise. The body steady, relaxed, While the soul hastily chases squirrels, birds and the ever ubiquitous Jolly Ball. Paws crossed, eyes wide shut, Wheezing breaths rhythmically crescendo. *A loud […]

Interrupted

I want the world to stop. To remain as she last saw it. To hover, unchanged, between what was and what could have been. I need back all those minutes with her, To enjoy the booming laughter; The lovely smile that always grew wider and brighter when I entered the room. A part of me […]
