Lingering, taunting
Drawing you into the abyss
A reminder of days gone by
Of mistakes and heartache
Of joy and happiness

Do you dare look back
Allowing it access
To the ghosts
You have forgotten
And remembered

No, no regrets
Only memories
Deeply seated within
Making you wiser
Bolder, braver
Defining the future

Love’s Passion

A shy glance
A gentle touch
A soft kiss
Ignites the soul
And captures the heart

Two become one
A single entity
Fueled by love’s passion

Wake Up

Wake up
And embrace
All that life has
Swirling around you

Keep close, those
Who matter most
The ones who
Create the laughter
And dry the tears

Tell them
They count
Before it’s too late
And they depart

Enlighten yourself
To the plight of others
Reach out
Make a difference

Do not restrict
The thoughts of others
For you may never know
The lesson they teach

Spread love, not
Disdain
Spread joy, not
Bitterness

We are all
One in the same
No one better than another
We are human

And she sits quietly in the distance

As she paints the skies

A palette of reds and yellows

Against the blue ocean waters

Gently rippling below her

And she glows ever so brightly

Before tucking herself in

For the night

Mind Legend

You speak aloud
And no one listens
The words topple around you

You speak again
And resolve to answer yourself
Asking why no one gives attention
Why does no one respond?

You shout
And the sound echoes, empty
Like footsteps on pavement
Falling wordlessly distant

You scream
One more time
And still no return
Only the repetition
Of your own voice
Answering back, hollow
Mocking your own mind
