The first bitter twinges of heartache
are still with me, and I pray they do not remain.
Sometimes the pain is too much to bear,
and I lose myself in remembering.
I feel your pain as surely as . . .

toes squishing in sand
waves dance and tickle our feet
sea breeze whips our hair

sandcastle for two
decorated with shell and stone
washes out to sea

lonely gull cries out . . .

Two days ago, my dog, Bugsy disappeared. At first I wasn't overly concerned. Being part Jack Russell and part Chihuahua, he is prone to jet out of the front door at every opportunity. . . .

I would like to dedicate this poem to everyone who has lost a child. In the past couple of days I have read where some of my connections are grieving the anniversaries of children/babies who have . . .

Hiding in shadows,
afraid of the light,
I join with the night,
and darkness is where I linger;
I see you laughing
without a care;
It's hard to believe I was there
only a week ago.

I'm tired of searching for the perfect words,
tired of the reason,
tired of the rhyme;
How can a broken heart

a brown-eyed little girl huddles in a corner
listening to the venom fly
between two who vow love,
and she cries.
years later
a young teenage girl lies in bed
as her mind leaves . . .

I walk along these silent hills
on a carpet of daffodil splendor,
remembering your touch
on that warm spring day,
so many years ago.
I can still see the old church
down in the valley; . . .

The flickering flame,
the ember that burns
straight through to my very soul;
I try and I try
to erase you from my mind,
But my heart will not let you go.
Your gentle touch,
Your sweet caress, . . .

feeling
wanting
so much;
trying
so hard,
needing
your touch;
aching
for you,
crying
in pain;
what else
can i do
to be
with you
again?
so far away
you are
from me;

I always knew it would come to this, the silences between
two who have shared blood and sweat, tears and laughter,
the wistful thoughts, the dreams that never seemed to
ring true.
I sit in . . .

My womb empties itself
of any part of our oneness,
giving vision to
the emptiness that exists
inside of two hearts
who go through the motions
of what used to be;
All that's left is blood red; . . .

Somewhere in the sweet mist of time,
I see a memory of when you were mine;
I hear your voice speak unto me;
In your eyes, my reflection I see;
We danced in the moonlight
in the grass by . . .

Moon is rising
Baby's crying
Love is dying
She can see it in his eyes
She puts on her new dress
Cut down to there
She puts on her make-up
And colors her hair.
She sits and she waits . . .

You walk away
and I fall into my darkness,
unsure of how to breathe on my own,
unsure of what I need.
It has always been you
here with me,
loving me
hating me;
It has always been you.

The harbor lights would flash in the darkness,
And I knew you were beckoning to me,
Calling me to a place where we could be;
The place of my deepest longing.
Through sand . . .

You carved your way inextricably into my soul,
your colors woven with mine;
We danced in joy
and heeded love's call,
and gave no credance to the naysayers;
We basked in moon glow
as the . . .
