11:11 am I step out of the shower Conscious not to slip on the tile I glance at the microwave 11:11, it blinks Make a wish If only I could go back to that grateful poem The one I wrote in January, I think I select a pink dry-fit dress Put my hair in a … Continue reading After Afore

Deceived
Those eyes so soft and kind Reflect a different set of mind Once enticing your kitten By all accounts I was smitten A hundred yard stare replaced The smiling crinkles of a happy face Among crocodiles you're swimming In a sea of love drowning Unattainable your heart's desire When integrity hangs by a wire I watch the full … Continue reading Deceived

I Made A Man Coffee This Morning
I made a man coffee this morning; Something in that comforting. Watched him drink it over conversation Much to my elation. It's been awhile since I started my day In this simple ritualistic way.

A Sonnet of Hate and Love – 1
HATE My lying frog, you inspire me to write. How I hate the way you drum, talk and bore me, Invading my mind day and through the night, Always dreaming about the fake story. Let me compare you to a flaccid member? You are more cruel, entitled and unsatisfactory. Bold winds shake the leafage of … Continue reading A Sonnet of Hate and Love – 1
An Angel Beckons
I received a note anonymously; Urging me to open my heart; Trust the divine warrior who leads the heavenly army; Who could this be?

He was to meet me where mountains meet the sea; "How will I recognize you?" … Continue reading An Angel Beckons
