Redemption
Sometimes the water
needs to be so hot it brands
me with redemption.

Fog
My mind wanes, foggy,
like the San Francisco night.
I can't find my way.

Amnesia
It seems morning brings
amnesia; yet I remain
tarnished with the night.

Feasting
It crawls in at dark,
feasting on the joy within,
swallowing it whole.

Wanting
When you can let go
Of always wanting more...more,
The world, she opens.

Morning
Blue kiss of morning
awakens the fire within.
Breathe and love and be.

Old ghosts
My name, in your mouth,
swirls familiar ‘round your tongue,
darting past old ghosts.

Trees
The trees stand up tall,
proud and majestic, soaring,
unafraid of life.

Little monsters
They come raining down,
sharp, thorny little monsters,
opening fresh wounds.
Spilled ink
I am a footnote,
a bent comma left behind
and quickly tripped past.
But if I could be,
I'd be a mess of spilled ink,
staining ev'rything.
Breathe
Watch the yellow sun
slide down a blue sky, slinking
into the gray waves.
The rhythm quiets;
we pause and wait for the next.
Breathe, and want nothing.
Forró
Moving in tandem,
the music is only now;
sweet moment, fleeting.
To the sun
Blue skies sing to me,
calling my eyes upward, like
flowers to the sun.
Chicago
Chicago summer,
caress me with your light breeze.
Seduce me, lover.
Forget
I remember and
forget ev'rything. I hear
today beg, "Forget."
Dawn
As dawn slips to day:
bodies tangled, entwined, still;
breath, hushed, warm and sweet.
Bloom
The cherry blossoms,
bright and praising the sun like
a heart in love, bloom.
Hope
Fluttering stillness.
Behind my eyes, lingering,
you, wrapped in my hope.
Audrey
Hearing her laughter:
A lovely, skipping giggle,
A bright, smiling sun.
