True worth is found
Not in the art of acceptance.
But in the desire to do what’s
Right even if you are not accepted ©

Daddy Dearest Memories
Daddy! I didn’t finished telling you about that cute guy
I met in the store last Tuesday.
Or that new sweet Mocha flavored coffee I bought you.
Why didn’t you say goodbye?
Why did you leave me when I long so desperately for your reassuring smile?
Your deep calm voice that reaches the depth of the Ocean
With passion and pride;
Last night I watered the Tulips and picked the Tomatoes,
The Peas and the Carrots you planted not so long ago.
Daddy! Why didn’t you wait a little while longer, to see your handy-work
Tinge with the colors of forget-me-not.
You left me with sun ripened Tomatoes,
Peas embellished with the colors of the rainbow
And carrots that glowed like the evening Sun,
Your worn out gloves embraced me in comfort and your garden boots swallowed my endless flow of tears;
Daddy; if that was enough for me to go on?
Why do I still look for you in the empty rocking chair dozing peacefully by the fire?
Why do I still look for your strong and sturdy frame silhouette against the evening sky?
This morning I ran down the stairs, your oversize shirts flowing like angels wings in the gently morning breeze.
I sit and sip your memories from the coffee cup you loved so much, and smile
Inwardly, as I realized that despite myself,
I’ve found solace and comfort in your memories.

I will love you still
If tomorrow would turn gray
And all my joys and sorrows fade away
I will love you,
Until my bones shake
And I’ve lost all memories
Of the love we’ve made
I will love you,
Until the music dies
And all that’s left are mournful cries
I will love you,
When I’ve reached the end
And look back on all the brokenness
Our love has mend, even then
I will love you still.

Forging Ahead
Speak to me my love
Speak softly to me
Let your sweet icy breath
Caress the fears
That stirs and trembles
Within me
Come to me my love
Come softly to me
Let me look upon your face
Reveal to me the secrets
That plagues your heart
Give me your secrets
I will sort them and bury them
Deep in the abyss of my soul
Take my fears and fill
My empty eyes
With love and hope
And promises of a better tomorrow
Hold on my love
Hold softly to me
Together we can break the shackles
That kept us bound
For this life is a journey
And I need your hands
And your feet, your heart to guide
Me along
As I will give you all of me
A broken union
Made whole
By refusing to give up on love
It’s a battle worth fighting
And we have fought
Endlessly
Forging ahead
Claiming victory
One step my love
One soft step at a time©

Forever Night
Etched in her eyes
A forever pain
A feeble trembling
when light dims and
Hearts crashed
When Nothing remain
But the mourners
And a mother
Gathering the remnant
In shaky hands
Her only reprieve became
Bitter tears
and the heat
of a forever night©

Revenge
Revenge taken
Fingers held to the flame
Burning up
On the inside
Man made walls
Could not keep me out
I do not come in peace
let me show you my scars
And the pain still entomb
within my heart
This day is black
for my eyes can only see
The darkness you imposed
within me©

A New Era
Blue hearts heard the song
Intersecting magic
The soul embrace
Spewing remnant
Breaking the seal
Birthing a new era©
