Artist Unknown

Such masterpiece images so often I see,
But locked in my head; no one sees them but me.
So many the memorable, fun anecdote!
Too bad these aren’t stories I actually wrote.

Can my unique, new vision somehow be drawn out?
The artist inside me...

Dear Mom

You’ve been out long and wandered far.
Now there’s no where left to roam.
The ones you miss are calling you.
It’s time to hurry home.

Now, I ask, do you feel ready, Mom?
Made peace with self and God?
You said that once you’d hurt someone;

A Poet’s Ponderance

How to clip the inclination
To share my every scribble,
While they sit in trepidation,
Listening to my dribble?

How to trip up my temptation
To gush to them with gusto?
While they wait with toleration,
(Not commenting very much though.)

Comebacks Come Too Late

Comebacks come too late sometimes,
Like when I’m in the shower.
Pinging in my head like chimes,
Though raining down, they’ve lost their power.

For in the moment when I needed
This queue of comebacks, they receded.
So, I relive them- each...

Considering Conciseness

Could I convey this tale to you
But manage saying less?
Would you absorb its full context,
Or hear laconic mess?
This fear of mine,
Though asinine,
Breeds my tedious address.

If I could share brief thoughts with you
Without causing you...

The Bowl of Ice Cream

T’was an evil tempter proffering
This thing I should avoid.
Yet, again I took this offering
Excuses then, employed.

You see, my meal left lingering
Its alliaceous taste.
I couldn’t sit malingering
And acted thus in haste.

It conquered...

A Break

While one often feels the strain
Of life's projects and stress,
One should also break away
For carefree...

For a Good Night's Sleep

No phones in bed when you turn off the light.
You'll "check one last thing", and stay up all night.

Leave phones to charge across the room,
And then, at sunrise, like a spring flower you'll bloom!

No books in bed when they seem near the end....

Because You Looked at Me That Way

I felt like such a goddess then,
And forgot what I would say,
Because I just glanced up and saw
You looking at me that way.

Your dark brown eyes- they smoldered;
Some secret lust implied.
I felt at once so overcome,
And my world flipped on...

A Moment of Your Company

Before, why couldn't we find time

  For short rendezvous or call?
There's nothing that's meant more to me

  As right now, that I recall.

There's no present obligation

  More significant than this-
A moment of your company

Allure of the Abandoned Place

See that structure on which green creepers climb?
It could have been rather grand at one time.
Almost missed it-hidden back in the trees
I love this about old places like these.

Abandoned; near lost from sheer neglect,
It beckons to me to...

My Annabel Lee

It was many- not too many years ago
In this life being lived by me
That a maiden I bore whom we adore
By the name of Annabel Lee;
As a baby she lived with no other thought
Than to fuss and occupy me.

She was a child, not quiet or mild,
(As...
