I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . .

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. . . .

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . .

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 . . .

I thought I would be safe
when I told you;
I never dreamed
you would turn your back on me.
But you closed the door
on my fears and pain,
You closed the door
on my continuing shame.

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 . . .

Wounded bird
With broken wing;
Someone has hurt you;
You can no longer sing.
Wounded bird
Once flew so free
High in the sky
For the world to see.
Now you are silent,
And oh, so . . .

Oh, to be tangled up in you,
as you tangle up with me!
Touching, tasting, falling
into the passion that sets us free;
Tangled in your thoughts,
Tangled in your dreams,
Tangled in your essence, . . .

Sometimes this is all there is;
The whisper, the sigh,
Gentle touches into the night;
Sometimes this is all there is
When words have bruised
And truth is shattered;
Sometimes this . . .

Please be tender,
That's my heart;
used
broken
patched together
with tears,
easily shattered,
a bit weathered
from the years;
scared of love
scared of being alone;
scared of feeling;

You crucify me,
Pierce the heart of me,
Nail me on your cross of condemnation.
You flog me
With bitterness; like vinegar
Your words fly, and my wounds flow crimson.
The passion . . .

I walked into your arms;
I didn't fall.
It wasn't like I had
always imagined;
Secret clandestine meeting
driven by passion;
I pretended that it
was your lips that I . . .

I look around me and see the accumulation of years,
of living and loving;
Old toys packed away, teddy bears peeping out from
their boxes,
books from every crisis we've endured all the way . . .

We sit here, across from one another
like hundreds of times before,
you with your fried chicken and salad,
me with my heart on my sleeve.
I'm not paying any attention to the food,
because . . .

You did me wrong;
Baby, I'm so blue;
I swear I don't know how
I'm gonna get over you.
You broke my heart,
Baby, right in two;
Now I'm sittin here cryin
Just a singin . . .

Soft and gentle into the night,
you fall against me,
and my love cushions you,
protects you from the demons
incessantly hammering away at you,
trying to break you down
with their bitter lies. . . .

My heart is like glass;
You can see into it;
You can see through it;
It can be reflective,
as well as strong,
but with one small crack
it is easily broken;
And when it shatters,
the pieces . . .

Like a whisper, you beckon to me,
but my heart is weary,
and my resolve is shattered;
You gather me unto you
like a bouquet of flower buds
so afraid to bloom;
To reach into my depths

Sometimes I try and imagine
what it must be like
to never be able to see past yourself,
to live life so engrossed
in your own problems
that you never see anyone else's pain. . . .
