Happy Sunday, fellow poets of life! Sometimes my poems reflect my heart and feelings transferred into words on the page. At other times, as in the poem that I’d like to share with you today, they tell a story. As a fiction writer, I naturally gravitate towards writing stories and I’ve enjoyed slipping them into…

The bridge from me to you
I love how the bridge of life arches from here to there Firmly fixed and connected to you, that’s where The heart is not naturally a lonely soul at all But seeks its connection, whether large or small A delicate breeze ripples the river A coldness across the valley brings a shiver But the warmth…
Who holds the heart of the moon
Depth, deeper than ocean’s deep Love deeper still Romance that steals the heart of the glowing moon Flinging its light into corners that have never known light Like a man awakening from a deep sleep and squinting in its brightness Is the romance I have prepared this heart for And refuse to accept Anything less…
The Wishing Well
Oh wish us well, Wishing Well When life is bad or life is swell Was my briefest message to tell As I sat there by the well On its old stone wall in the cool of the day To lament the state of my garden by the way For though I missed the butterfly and…

There at the end of our garden in view Flows a river of love with my memories of you Dip your feet in the shallow and see There was nothing shallow between you and me Cool is the water that flows ankle deep Passion is the heart that makes the birds cheep They sound in…

Between twilight and dreams
I found you in the clouds Somewhere between twilight and dreams A gentle touch of sunlight alighted on your cheeks You were dreaming of me, too Light filled every place our thoughts went Love filled our hearts No other reason was found for us to be there But the love of a friend who was…

I want to imagine the two of us You and me Gazing upon the night sky to see Its vast array of lights Welcoming us to come and believe The stars do more than just twinkle, you know They whisper love Again and again Three messages they speak Love-sent from the heavens One: the beauty…
You are immensely loved
In a summer meadow, sunflowers bask in the open air Under cerulean skies wave the golden heads of joy A light breeze tickles the grassy hill about them Bright yellow dandelions shudder and dance In fields of wild green grass Burgundy poppies dot the landscape nearby in fields of red Emerald hills go on forever…
There will be no more distance
There is a distance between here and there A gap we cannot cross Until it is time. There was a distance while you were here That kept us guessing the truth To be safe and trusting. We both understood But it hurt For we knew we wanted closeness Not distance that kept us apart Or…
