I dust off these memories just once in a while, I take them out and waltz them around. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, And I see the things I lost, the things I found. I try not to live in the past But these days it’s hard not to. I roam and I wonderContinue reading “Rambling On”

My eyes are closed, but sleep is a long lost friend I lay here wondering about my beginnings and my end. My heart echoes in my ears I am trying to hold back tears All I can do is keep my eyes closed And wait for the morning. My thoughts take me back to yesterdayContinue reading “Late Night Thoughts”

What’s the cost of heartbreak, what’s the cost of pain? What’s the cost of what you lost, of everything you gained? I’ve hurt too many people and I still pay that cost I can only hope the ones I hurt have forgiven me. Too young and foolish Too full of myself I took trust andContinue reading “I’m Sorry: A Poem”

Sometimes when I think about her Only the good things come to mind. But when the rain falls and the wind is cold, All I can think of is how she left me behind. I still leave a light on for her Even though I know she will never show. My heart cries out forContinue reading “Moody Night Poems”

Good evening all! It’s been awhile since I have donned the writing cap as of late. Ironic I suppose since I have more free time these days with the whole Covid-19 cluster going on. The world is in a tailspin and I am unsure of the future. I want people not to die. I wantContinue reading “A Little Rant”

Tears, unwanted roses, wind and rain. Standing outside looking at what’s left of my love Die and slink down the drain. You knew I was there, but you didn’t care He held you tight and you were smiling wide. All I could think in those final moments Even after all the hurt, Was I stillContinue reading “Some Poems for a Friday Night”

A friend of mine who I worked with died from cancer last Saturday morning. She was a really special person. It happened so fast. Two months from diagnoses to her death. Her family lost their matriarch and the world lost another good person. I just wanted to say good-bye Kim. The world has lost anotherContinue reading “Thoughts and a Short Poem”

Talking to walls that don’t answer back, Thinking about you just a little too much. Drinking and wishing for your sweet touch, But that boat sailed a long time ago Leaving me holding memories I can’t let go. My sugar no longer taste sweet My head and heart can’t meet To see things the wayContinue reading “Poem just Because I want to Write”

Fair warning: I will rambling on all over the place in this one. Ever have one of those lives where you just can’t get it all together? Your socks don’t match, you forget your phone and your dogs just don’t want anything to do with you. That has been me lately. Can’t seem to focus,Continue reading “Thursday Night Random Thoughts”

I guess that time together was all for naught. I wanted to be in your heart but that was not to be. Whispers in the beginning Screams in the end. The same song repeated over and over Both of us looking into each other and feeling nothing. Nothing of consequence, Nothing left but wisps ofContinue reading “Nothing of Consequence”
