KIND EYES

Your eyes are kindness
in their gray pools of comfort
where love overwhelms.
A KIND HAND

I give you my hand
to lift you when you’ve fallen
and see no way up.
NATURE RULES

Thunder and lightning
combine as a reminder
that Nature’s in charge.
GROWTH HELD BACK

The grass doesn’t grow.
Dandelions and crabgrass
overwhelm the blades.
MY SUCCESS

Success is defined
as achieving desires.
You are my success.
EMPTY TREASURE

There is no success
without family and friends
to share it with you.
AT JOURNEY’S END

Leaves cling to the trees
until nature sets them free,
their journey now over.
THE SUN

The warmth of the sun,
becoming one with my soul,
makes it own poem.
THE WORDS I WRITE

I write what I do
because love is what drives me
and you are the words
HEART OVER FEELINGS

To write is to hear
what the heart tries to tell us
when we feel nothing.
IMAGINE NO YOU

Imagine me lost
without your love in my life,
to never be found.
WITHOUT DREAMS

If I had no dreams,
the words that flow from my pen
would fade from the page.
OUR HOME

Here within these walls
is the perfect blend of us,
creating our home.
WATERLOGGED

Hot water heater
bursts like a raging river.
Backyard is flooded.
CONTROLLED LOSS

The loss of you hurts.
Memories control the pain
when good outweighs bad.
UNTIL LOVE

I once felt alone
in the most crowded places
until you loved me.
THE GARDEN’S PRAYER

Let the sun and rain
restore the beauty sleeping
beneath my soil.
