Destiny
​ 

She is clothed with an inner strength
and laughs without fear of the future.
eye shine, ignites sparks in my heart.
she judges none, and walks with grace.
Her dreams are in a technicolor palette
and lights her way through the darkness.
She adores dancing in the pouring rain
Blowing dandelions in summer breezes 
Talks to the moon about her eternal love 
She smiles as squirrels dance in trees,
loves spending time watching kids play.
Her dream was to be a great writer, but 
falling in love with a poet was her destiny.

Miss Me at Sunset
​

When I'm forever gone,
bury me between the lyrics 
of your most beautiful poem 
so I'll never be forgotten. 
 
When I'm forever gone,
seek my essence among 
the petals of the white rose,
or with the smell of freshly 
brewed morning coffee.
 
When I'm forever gone,
Seek my voice in a sweet 
songbirds sonnet, or with
sounds of calm raindrops 
upon an old tin roof.
 
When I'm forever gone,
scatter my ashes in winds
like seeds of a Dandelion.
For once I'm forever gone, 
miss me at every sunset and
feel my touch at every dawn.

A Face in the Crowd
​

I have many faces to choose from,
so many looks that could fool you;
I can wear a smile when I feel sad,
or a laugh when I want to cry.
I have many faces that can deceive,
some to please those I don’t even know.
I may be silent when I’m screaming inside,
I tire of having to face such unfounded criticism,
but today I choose to wear my own;
my armor on to fend off painful words hurled
as I stand before you so very tall and proud;
I’ll confront this unjust and unkind world.

Golden Cage
​

She felt like a trapped bird 
in a golden cage, fed only 
sorrow and precious stones; 
orchids and roses were there 
to say sorry until the next time. 
But all she wanted was a little love. 
The gleam in her eyes fade each day
the smile disappeared from her face. 
Although hopeless, betrayed and with 
a broken wing, she found the strength 
to run from a prison of poisonous love. 
And now, she is soaring once again... 
embraced tightly by her other half... 
an Angel with a broken wing as well.
Together, they fly into a smiling moon,
and dance to a sonnet of forever love.

Tears of a Timid Moon
 

​There have been nights 
when even my own demons 
have cried with me
and loneliness itself 
has given me a hug
 
Nights when the sound
of the world shuts down 
my tears fell silently and 
the silence screams loud
 
When the timid moon
peeked, trying to dry
my tears with its light 
and the sky ended up 
crying with me as well
