After Shave

The car engulfed

with waves of mulled citrus mist

warmed by your face watching mine

in the mirror from the hallway

as I lacquer on deep burgundy

candy apple lipstick

before the sun awakes early

April morning.

Memories of orange blossoms

permeating the night sky

on Route 66…

the beige top down on

the old [...]

Enveloped

feelings envelop me

in multiple shades of gray

all tangled with pleasure and pain

can’t seem to detach

your thoughts

your feelings from my own

our souls entangled

your dreams with mine

entwined imperceptibly

like bodies that have lain together

so many nights

they’ve memorized each other’s

curves and edges

as if by heart

never [...]

Goodbye

 Thank you

      for listening quietly

as you ate your lunch

letting me release

     all my hurt

my pain

       my anger

my broken dreams on you.

Like a rain storm

       in the desert

Yesterday…

I rained all over you.

Me, New & Improved

                                     Feelings…

                                                          like butterflies

                                                in spring

                                       are coming

                                             in all directions at once.

              An open book

      every nuance

          written on my face

                in my eyes.

Like seventh grade

           when every look

                 every boy

  crushed your ego, or

            broke your heart.

Has it been…                  

          so long

       since [...]

Mother of the Bride

It takes courage to stand tall

          when we feel our wounds so visible

          worried that all will witness our pain…

Courage and bravery…

          strength beyond words.

You present yourself with such grace

          with such dignity, head held high

          turning your face to the light

          letting the sun warm your [...]

My Brother’s Keeper

We were inseparable

Sisters born in an hour of desperation

Of need, of my divorce

I believed we would last forever

Sisters by choice not birth

There are friends capable of [...]

My Friend a Daddy

Everyday, somewhere a child  

          stares out a window

Waiting…

          for Dad to come home.

It doesn’t matter what kind of work he does

          (though a fireman or race car driver would be great).

It doesn’t matter how much money he makes

          (though getting a new bike is better than not).

Some Men

Some men

have a way of looking inside

finding the best you have to offer

then putting it on

the outside

for all the world  to see.

 

When you’ve been in their presence

you begin to feel beautiful

begin to experience a you,

you didn’t even know was possible.

All because…

Because, they took [...]

Surgery

Not all operations

take place in hospitals.

Some men,

like surgeons

so deftly trespass

The Waltz

He said she loved the waltz.

The dance between a woman

and the man who knew

how to make her feel

a cherished treasure.

validated…

known…

in the affirmative

in silence.

 

He knew how she felt inside

when words wouldn’t come

and only feelings

spilled all over her skin

that no longer fit…

water [...]

Volcanoes Erupting

 

Feelings…                                     

 …unacknowledged since childhood

            are erupting

                           like open wounds

 not properly cleansed with antiseptic.

     Mourning my losses

               resolving my fears

 become the purpose of each day.

 

Emotional scars

               ignored too long,

                      forgotten,

                                       locked away

                                                deep in ones’ subconscious,

                                       not dealt with,
