Heart of Life
In the garden
Bluebird sings
As the sun sets
The smell of your perfume
As she dances to the song
Minds twirling
In perfect harmony
The store is closing
Time spent away
Makes her heart spin
Two hearts
Miles apart
Beneath the same silvery moon
The butterfly slowly
Leaves the tree. empty
•
Dreaming of him
Blank pillow
She turns to the wall
Hot summer night
She opens a single window
Sunlight falls
Upon the computer screen
No new emails
Screen fades to black
Fourth power outage
Trips to a new place
Leave them stranded
No reception
Shouting the guy's name
From the upstairs bedroom
•
The moon
Gives light
To a new argument
the ride to the pasture
give s a new view of pretty
from the back window
passing cars read
'Just Married'
The doves fly out
Flying towards the sun
Blossoming trees
Like the pathway
Towards Heaven
His touch lingers
Long after he's gone
•
Shocking him into feeling
the right answer's
Never found
Vast empty pasture
Deer wandering alone
In the darkness
of my heart
I sometimes wonder
The nights spent together
grow with the stars
Unlike our unborn son
I name a constellation
after him
We rise and fall together
with the tides of change
•
Washed away
all of your footprints
from my memory
Scanning the page
for my mystery man
His whisper in my ear
like the cold
winter's wind
Fascinated by the glow
new father
The man in the moon
stares at me
in disappointment
Without the pressure of everyday
falling into a sleepy void
•
Beginning a journey
of new excitement
new credit card
The super attractive cashier
asks seductively "paper or plastic"
Growing up
I always wanted to be
a Barbie doll
You're the best Christmas present
that I've ever received
That precious time
growing together
cherry blossoms
Throughout my life
all the thing I've learned to cherish
