i remember I told you

i loved you

once

the words caught in the air

and held there

like a plastic bag

caught in the wind

twirling around

mocking me with every turn

but you caught them

and kissed them back to me

and I was whole

Reflection

she looks, but does not see

with eyes closed tight, she stares

judging

as she always does

the reflection that pleads back at her

begging to be seen

Untitled

my soul screams out in silence

begging to be heard

to be released.

from the depths i climb,

stretching towards the light.

frightened and scarred

from life

from near death

from constant uncertainty.

on the edge

I teeter,

wondering if one last push

will do me in.

gentle breeze caressing my cheek

blowing my hair from my face

it is so inviting

spring has come at last

to chase out the winter

which has stayed too long

Inspired

so silent the world is

in its ever-changing wonder i am in awe

of its beauty

reds, golds, purples…

float gracefully to the ground

covering the earth in a blanket of leaves

Writing

I have decided that I will make this a blog devoted to my writing and art and other creative endeavors. I don't know if anyone else will ever read this, but if nothing else it is here for me and that is really what this is all about. :)
