By Surprise

Living for the hope of me and you
is the fantasy getting me through
and stabbing me like a knife
at the same time
when you’re always just
out
of
reach

​

but now I’d give anything
to go back to the in between
where the agony was sweet

​

‘cause I’d gotten used to living
with the dull roar of heartache
but the piercing pain takes me
by surprise

Through the Haze

I think of you
delicate and dreamy
as I’m drifting off to sleep.

​

The feel of your arms around me,
like the warmth of the sun on my skin,
and I miss
the way you see me
through the haze.

Blessings

We often take for granted

how lucky we are

to breathe, to feel, to wonder

and though life gets heavy, sometimes,

they're there if you look for them

(many times in disguise)

little blessings

of being alive

Excavate

Everything starts and ends

with the heart.

What's left of mine, she wondered,

as she unearthed

each

fragmented

piece 

of the past - 

exposed. 

She carefully cleaned and polished them

one by one. 

Her body felt hollow, 

the truth brought to light,

and when she tried to put it back together

the pieces didn't fit quite right.

A Winter Haiku

frost painted window

exhale, gaze at breath's escape

winter in the wind

Wisdom

to know

it won't always be like this

a wisdom that is bittersweet

for all the things that you'll miss

as the inevitable winds of change

sweep through, don't resist

when it's time to let go

it's really a gift
