DAD
You were my friend and confidant,
You would listen, and judge me not.
More than a father and friend to me.
I miss you even more than I could see.
I know the words were rarely spoken, . . . more

Lying here on the floor
(or is it laying on the floor?)
and do I even care?
(no...right now...I really don't).
Wasn't born a poet, . . . more

I read so much about losses
And reams about doubts in faith
I look around with eyes dimmed
By rivulets of dismay on many cheeks
Are we on the same road you and me?
I hear those cries of despair
Have . . . more

When I think of you, my love
it is with teardrops and a smile;
I've been wandering aimlessly
for what seems like a long long while...
fourteen days, to be exact...
the day you said goodbye. . . . more

She opens her eyes
to the sun streaming in
and she groans;
Just another day

I came across your picture today,
and in an instant, you washed over me.
All of the feelings that I thought were gone
came rushing back in a tidal wave of emotion,
and I'm drowning...I can't . . . more

The day you left me
was gray, and
the air was heavy
as if with tears;
Could it be the angels
were crying?
Surely the sun slept
on that dismal day,
shining on neither
rich or poor,
happy or sad, . . . more

Your kindness is killing me;
Why don't you just let me go?
Why must you sugarcoat the bitterness,
make promises you have no intention
of keeping? . . . more

I feel so tired,
and these teardrops
won't stop falling;
Nothing is the same
since you're gone.
I look in the mirror,
and its me...just me
standing there,
loneliness my
only companion. . . . more

This heart beats,
waiting for love's coffin
which will surely come,
for how can anything so beautiful
linger on?
This world cannot contain it
amidst the ugly darkened doors
which slam shut on . . . more

Your arms have surrounded me
for so long,
now that they are gone,
I feel a shiver;
Lonely is a cold place to be.
I knew it was time
to say goodbye,
but that doesn't mean
it . . . more

The mist slowly rises over the lake,
the same lake that I have spent
countless hours, thinking of you.
Today everything looks eerie and gray,
much the way I'm feeling without you . . . more

Kiss cold, still, white brow
Dying babe leaves you broke now
Wounded, empty self.

(This is written in remembrance of my baby, Maryanna Hope who was stillborn on April 26, 1995)
Like a breath of springtime,
my baby...you would be
if you were nestled close to me;
You . . . more

I have much to be thankful for;
The smiles around the table,
everyone talking,
plates filled to heaping,
children anxious for desert-
and as my eyes travel,
counting, in part,

I would see her sitting there day after day
staring out at the ocean, and
her eyes were so sad.
I worried about her...
worried she was imagining
what it would be like to delve into the deep.
But . . . more

She couldn't believe
The time had gone so
Fast, the last twelve months
Had been a Hell, a
Hard-to-get-through space
Without the touch or
Feel of God or His
Fine grace, or so it
Seemed, . . . more

Night and the stars shine
And you are there my little babe
Who died in my womb.
