The heat caused steam to rise from the sidewalks, as I waited that August 4th 1988
I rub my pregnant belly and wipe my brow
You are still inside of me, heavy but still
I . . .

Voices joined
Whirl in my head
Pain abounds
Flowing in the wind
No joy here
Chaos in its stead
Close my eyes
Feel darkness
Closing . . .

I went down to the water
The moon my only companion
There to guide me, easily
My only thoughts were of you
Time, moments, feelings
Things we . . .

I didn't know
you'd be something to miss
Stored Away,
returned on the whisper of the wind
The memory of one perfect kiss
The deliciousness of young love
floods my brain
Rain washes over . . .

My only child is 17 and a half today.
Turn back the clock, is there any way?
"6 months til I'm legal ma!" What can I say.
She wants to grow up so fast, the gaul! . . .

If I walked
through burning sand
and rocky stone
barefoot and alone -
If I walked
through icy tundra
and winter storm
naked as my birth -
If I walked
through my pain
and did . . .

Pay the bills
Do the shopping
Cleaning
Laundry
Feed the dogs
And the cats
Pick up poop
I don't think so
The pool is green

I can feel the Earth move
Blackness glowing with stars
Swirling just out of reach
It doesn't seem real
What is the reason?
Magic

I walk with you, watching the flowers break free from the hard ground
The wind blows across my cheek, gently caressing trees into awakening
Azure blue floats above us, swirling white . . .

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you
Will you hear me or turn me away
With a heart so heavy and full of pain
I have often wondered what you could possibly see in me
All my life I’ve been . . .

I found you once
For a short time
A love complete
But fractured
Emotions swirl
Love drowns
Our life
An ebb and tide

(This is another poem I wrote when I was a teenager)
To be a friend or not to be
That's the question you ask me
You want me to do something that's wrong
I didn't know confusion . . .

Restless, pacing, measuring out
concrete boundaries
that strain the seams of mortal peace.
Electric storms rage
within cranial confines,
where . . .

I saw us once in my mind
So happy and carefree
I loved you at first sight
A cloud of happiness descended
Over us like a blanket
I never knew such bliss . . .

I watched you sleeping
Breathing slow and steadily
Where did the time go?
Darling; my only
Fly off into the future
Don't ever look back . . .

Soaring weightless above the water
Watching the gleam of dreams flow out of my reach
The wind releases my soul into infinity
Drawing my being into the abyss of death

I remember you...
Your smell, your touch
The way you looked at me
I didn't know what fate had in store
How could I know
We were so young
I broke . . .

January grey surrounds us as we drive
The wet winding roads to her
Destination.
She can never sit in . . .

The luscious
Frangipani blooms in earnest;
Oozing desire
I watch the star of the summer
Garden with lustful eyes
