He Didn't Care Too
On the day of her
death he didn't cry.
Everyone said,
"He doesn't care!"
On the day they
laid her to rest
he didn't cry.
Everyone said
"He never loved her!"
On the one month

death he was

Homeless
Turn eyes!
Pretend I'm not here!
Do not look at me with disgust.
Laziness
is not the reason I am here.
Some a job's loss to be in
my shoes.
This is a more cameo style poem.

My Lifeboat
The whirlpools of loneliness
were pulling me down,
you were my lifeboat.
With all my effort,
I forced myself
to push towards you.
Your kisses, your smiles
your touch saved me
from my lonely life.

A Small Story about a Small Town
The small town had struggled to survive for years.
In it's heyday it had built a church. It even had an organ
whose pipes shown like silver. The organist pressed the pedals
as is she were making wine to be served as communion.
The church doubled as a school for a small group of students.
It even h...

We Used to Make Love
Sweet Heart we
used to make love,
now all we
do is fight.
I cry myself
to sleep
many a night.
I'm angry with you,
I think maybe
you're having
an affair.
You're angry with
me, cause you say
emotionally I'm
not there.
I guard my
heart, because

A Silly Goblin Poem
The Goblins of
the night,
they give me
such a fright.
They leave about
this green slime.
I awaken, oh
it was just
a dream.
No need for
a scream.
I look at
the clock for
the time, but
it is covered
in green slime!

Who is this Woman in the Mirror
Who is this woman in
the mirror?
When did her hair start
to turn grey?
What happened to the
young girl who used to
laugh and play?
Who is this woman in
the mirror?
When did these
wrinkles appear?
What happened to the
young girl whose parents
used to call "Dear"...

A silly poem about hair.
The following is a
very silly poem
There was a girl named Shirley
whose hair was short and curly.
She never wanted to go anywhere
she hated her short curly hair.
Her mom would say, "Let's
go to the park."
Shirley would say
"Not until after dark."
There came a man
with a silly son...

Gray Earth
Gray Earth and gray sky
Eternity in limbo
Lost souls in peril
My husband Scott once again recorded the audio version for me.

The Air is Still
The air is still, quite
The freezing touch of his hand
Death is by my side
This audio was provided by my husband Scott

Anger
Anger consumes me
Eats my soul like a cancer
Self inflicted hell
P.S. The audio recording was recorded by my daughter Samantha.

Christ Love
The following poem is Christian. I am a Christian,
but I try to be flexible.
Heart beats young heart beats old, with
a love of Christ your heart beats bold.
Be ye rich, be ye
poor, with a love
of Christ you'll
have so much
more. The rain
falls on just
and unjust.
But remember
Christ rain
settles
the dust.

Wild Wolf-(2)
Wild wolf
I heard you howl
at the moon.
I believe it was
sometime in June.
Wild wolf
you sounded lonely
you sounded sad.
Was I scared?
No I was mad!
Why?
Wild wolf
in myth you
are evil.
This fear from
the time primeval.

Wild Wolf
I heard a wolf
howl at the moon,
I believe it was
sometime in June.
It sounded lonely
it soudnded sad
was I scared?
No I was mad!
Why?
The wolf is being
hunted, exterminated.
Why is the wolf
so very hated?

The Tall Green Grass
The wild colt enjoyed
galloping through
the tall green grass.
One day he was captured
and made a beast of
burden. He worked in the
field and pulled the wagon,
but he longed for
the tall green grass.
He grew old and weak,
one day he lay down
and closed his eyes.
When he opened...

My Mother's Gentle Hands
My Mother used to comb my long hair.
When she hit a tangle I would cry
out in pain.
She would place her gentle hands
upon my head and whisper, "I'm sorry
darling but you must endure the
pain so that your hair will be shiny
and beautiful."
When my life hits a tangle I long fo...

The Price of Freedom-(extended version)
A ghostly image of a soldier
stood in the background,
as a mother with a babe in her
arms stood by a grave site.
She lowly whispered, "Father
this is your son. Son this is your
father. He gave his life so that
others might live."
Now she is alone, but she
will survive. She will raise
this child without the aid
of others. This child will
