Sisters

I wrote this for my sister whom I love dearly. I met her when I was 19. We have had our ups and downs in getting to know one another, but this year she became my dear friend.


We climb this mountain together,

As sisters and as friends.

Making up for the memories,

That we never had as kids.

Each on a separate journey

Yet a journey just the same.

Reaching out for what comes next,

Our lives forever changed.

86 Degrees of Love

86 Degrees Of Love

86 degrees

That’s what the thermostat said,

Twas a steamy back seat instead of a bed.

Had it been in a bed nobody would have known,

That bodies could heat as the thermostat has shown.

Windows all fogged up, can’t see a thing!

Those passionate memories make my heart sing.

The Bar

The Bar

The place where spiders crawl

Spreading around their poison

Only to put a band aid on their lesions.

A place where they meet

Gather and greet

While searching through their lives

For reason.

Drowning away

In the pesticide that’s sprayed

Now their problems die

For a season.

Time

The minutes seem like hours since I last felt your touch. You bring to me an innocence I have missed so very much. To watch you smile as I stare into your eyes, touches my heart and soul to the core. I love you more now than I ever have before. The minutes will seem like hours until I see your face again. You are a blessing and a gift from God, my friend until the end.

Believe

The minute you stop achieving,

is just seconds after you stopped believing!

Broken Again

My soul is broken

The pain is so real

Why does he do this

Why cant he feel?

Why is he so angry?

Always has to shout!

Why cant he communicate?

Can someone help me out?

Ive been trying to get away

From this vicious cycle we are in

Now I have the courage I need

To put this all to an end

I cant stand to look at him

Or hear what comes out of his mouth

I cant spend forever like this

Living in denial and doubt!

No Excuses

EXCUSES

We all have them

We all use them

Easy to find

And abuse them

EXCUSES

Nothing but excuses

Filled with Excuses

AFRAID OF EVERYTHING

Without fear would we still have them?

Probably not!

Excuses are timeless

Sometimes seem crime-less

But are they really?

Or is it our selfishness shining through?

Where’s our compassion?

OH WAIT!!!!!

There’s probably an excuse for that too!
