Last Leaf

I’ll be here right beside you

in the darkness when you call.

I’ll be the one who makes sure

that the last leaf doesn’t fall.

 

I’ll be here watching over you

though all others are gone.

I’ll be here though you’ve lost the strength

and will to carry on.

 

I know that it’s your darkest hour.

I know it’s hard to see.

I know because one time I faced

a darkest h...

If A Tree Falls

The question’s been posed – if a tree fell alone

would it make any sound as it fell?

If you think about it, there’s millions of things

that go on with no way we can tell.

 

The Saltgrass that waves in the ocean breeze,

when no one’s there, does it still sway?

The water that flows down a crystal stream,

when we’re gone does it go away?

 

It’s a paradox truly, there’s n...

Quiet Example

Tis an interesting thing to consider yet

the value of a quiet example set.

  

Like the crystal streams, or the mountain air –

consistent, constant, always there.

  

Blessing every soul who happens by.

Never asking who, never asking why.

  

Giving joy just by being who they simply are.

Giving light through the night like a brilliant star.

  

Giving hope to the cr...

Strangers Unaware

How odd this ragged stranger seems

who jarred me from my frozen stare,

at dust and dreams and other things

for which I spend my time and care.

 

No other man hath paid him mind,

no nod, nor smile, nor kindness shown.

No, none at all hath lent him time.

No good man opened up his home.

 

So what is lost if I like they

wave off a hand and turn back in,

and quickly ...

The Chapters I Remember

The book lies closed now

Gathering dust on a shelf

I look, but do not touch

That reminder of yourself

 

Better to imagine our life

Dream of better times

Envisage your lovely face

Hum your happy rhymes

 

Shady bluebells in spring

Red leaves in November

Bonfires and sparklers

The chapters I remember

 

More novella than novel

Not near enough pages

Dear Ezra Bebot,

The first time I saw you, your mouth held no words.
I would take you out and watch you marvel at the birds.

Your awkward waddle would bring me smiles.
There was peace in my life holding you as we walked for miles.

The screaming, the crying, the testing,
The laughing, the hugging, the learning.

As I helped you grow, and loved every moment.
Even the ones that involved your excrement.

A Note to Those With Limits to Their Love

I was not there when he was made
I was not there when he was born
I was not there for his first birthday

I was, there to guide his first steps.

I was there when his mother voiced her disdane and pushed him away.

For the tantrums that felt eternal

The sick days that became my sick days

I was there as his father began a new family and forgot about his last.

When he had no food to...

Simply Says

 

Simple Girl, frankly, says: 
β€œLife is simple without lies”. 
Lies are always complicated, 
And TRUTH, surely, will rise. 

 

Simple Girl's heart is warm, 
And brain is normally calm. 
Thinks for her shiny future, 
Happily, without windy storm. 

 

Simple Girl believes in God. 
Says always a faithful word, 
And purely behaves in life, 
As human does always good.

me?

A tulip blooms

In the effervescent sunshine of my heart,

A ray of light I alone

Could not have created,

For not until the birds no longer sing,

Or until the trees no longer grow,

Will my infatuation know its limits. 

Your hair a melancholic autumn,

Shades of brown and hues of amber,

Your heart

A forgotten winter,

Made not by you,

But by those that came before I,

Why Do I Stay?

It's the little things you do
The way you say my name
The way you smile at me
How easily I can laugh with you
No matter how sad I am
The way you believe in me
The way you hold me up
How strong you can be
To lift up and support me
The way we kiss after a fight
The way we grow together
How beautiful you make me feel
On my ugliest days
It's all these things,
All these reasons,

I Know Who I Am

Eyes that seek truth,

A heart that knows no bounds

A mind that eludes and intimidates

A soul that is and always was free

Determined and passionate

Emotional but strong

I can get through anything

Even when I don't want to

 

There are times when I do not know myself

These times are hard

Patience will show my path

I'm so grateful I was not alone

A winter bite that

A life supported?

Cease one's internal decay,

Even ice melts. Love's fluidity.
