Poems about Life, Love & More…

These poems are meant to access your deeper you, if you’re up for it. You may find familiar sentiments that pair with your own life, or discover a new path that you had not considered before. This poetry is meant to connect us, and ALSO to keep you from having to hear me try to sing. I wouldn’t do that to you. I am not a monster.

Letter to My Therapist, May 31, 22

The energy between us confounds itself.

Knees

If this recent slurry of challenge, and suffering, rib-cracking loneliness is fruitful, planting so much knowing, wisdom for harvest, then I am in.

The Rake

There is something about the commitment to the rake that speaks volumes.

Inevitable Zebra

I suppose saying, "Forget about Michelangelo," is like saying, "Don't think of a zebra."

Peccadillos

Let’s say, you love to watch pots of water come to a boil. I will get you a chair, So you won’t have to stand for eternity,

The Eye

If he became a bowl of cherries, I would be, completely, lost.

Painting the Hummingbird

Here's a paintbrush, now go find the hummingbird and give her a refresh. Then polish the eavestrough.

Peeling an Orange

The sun is never late–rises and sets as we expect, As if it’s on our schedule.

From the adventures...

I see our human species, our fellow human being–growing, becoming more gentle, and I heard it expressed this way–that at an earlier time, it was sort of a ‘you–or-me’ kind of concept. So either I would get it, or you would get it. There wasn’t enough there for both of us to get it at the same time. And now, I’m able to see a ‘you–AND–me.’ And it just allows for a different kind of world. So there it is!

I sip my drink and notice the music. The awards ceremony is over and women's figure skating is two or three contestants in. I hear Ravel's Bolero but instead of watching the skater, I listen to the music and consider the people in the room.

What the humans had to say...

I feel like we’re kind of on…we’re hanging on a precipice. It’s like there’s a lot of crowd movement. People, just everyday people are starting to realize that climate change is something we need to be addressing right now, and with a lot of radical change. But on the other hand, there’s the people who hold all of the power that are just pushing back.
