The Music in Your Scars

Words, lovely melody, pouring from your broken heart, Rising and lowering in pitch, perfectly tuned, as you walk the halls of a world uncertain. Lightning crashes, and the beat turns tempestuous, violent, unnerving, Yet the song never wavers. The vocals add a touch of gravity to match the situation. Shakily, steadily, emotionally gripping notes sour, […]

Statistical Ups and Downs (A Poem)

The pendulum swings. One minute you are flying high, Successful, brilliant, ruefully optimistic And the next you are broken and beaten, Bruised, Prone on the ground watching others soar. The data of your life gets processed, Based on who you know, what you know and who you are a statistical map gets plotted. Thousands of […]

I Couldn’t Live Not Knowing

I couldn’t live not knowing where the keys are, Where all the cups and plates are stored. I couldn’t live not knowing where my wallet was, where my cellphone went, or where I can find the instructions for the new vacuum cleaner. I couldn’t live not knowing where the new video game purchase, or two, […]

Voices (A Poem)

They tell me what to do and I listen, Taking turns to impart their wisdom. Calculating, methodical, completely anachronical, Pushing me to color outside the lines, To embrace anarchy and rebel. Walking the halls of memory, I can hear them all clearly, The voices of those whom I lost, Jimminy Crickets, In my head, Pulling […]

I remember when… (A Poem dedicated to the 80s)

I remember when NASCAR didn’t have Truck Races, Dale Earnhardt was still Intimidating, Jeff Gordon had Rainbow Warriors, And Jimmy Johnson had no championships. I remember when dial up modem tones were a sign of opulence and progress, When printers were dot matrix And 3 1/2″ floppy disks were new. When people had to use […]

I’m Here for The Groom (A Poem)

I’m here for the man who helped me with my thermodynamic’s homework, For the dude that told my ex to back off when I left him for my now husband, For the Starcraft nerd that let me create a Space Marine fleet when the guys in the room doubted my “strategery”. I’m here for the dude […]

I Was A Mom (Poem)

I was a mom once, A loving, nesting, pregnant mess of surreal possibilities, And my husband, a dad, that couldn’t stop smiling. Glee poured out of his pores. We couldn’t contain our happiness. For twelve weeks you brought us joy, The only kind a parent to be can feel. We were proud to call you […]

Life’s a Journey

There was a road less traveled, A winding, unkempt, delapidated trail With lots of promise and road blocks. It wouldn’t be easy to travel it but it was worth the journey. I dared to dream, to hope and breathe Taking the road less traveled would challenge and excite me. However tough the going got, I […]

Happy Tail

Wag wag wag, Ouch! Tear noise. What happened to my tail? Lick, lick, lick Ouch! It hurts. Shrinks into a little ball and sighs. The doctor put me in a cone, A shame I wear to heal, Bumping into every one and everything I go, Until I got to sleep. And when I wake, Good […]

Endless

Love, eternal Flawless win over death. Hope, endearing and bright in the middle of the darkness. Lust, perennial mistress of heart’s desire. Empathy, Bold, gracious and kind keeps these three at bay. Love, hope and lust wisely.
