Oh, for a heart that will look within
And not see this body degraded from sin.
My Lord has forgiven and forgotten my past
But the tell on my body will always last. . . .

Does he notice how much I have changed?
Can he . . .

The summer and winter
Seems to blur for me
The inside of my house
Is usually what I see
But my imagination
Ranges far and wide
Remembering the beauty . . .

When I first wrote this, many assumed it was because I was trying to comfort a friend who was feeling old. I admit that was only a partial reason. It started when my grandmother and I were talking one . . .

The holidays have come
And yesterday was lost
What new that might have been done
Was shrugged aside and tossed
What is one to do
Facing the holidays all . . .

I sit here alone, thinking of you
and how I knew that the time would come.
The time that you would go away
never to return to home.
We all know it is coming . . .

Like all of these papers crumpled on the floor
I watched as my friends were pushed through the door

Pain, hurt, frustration to spare
What am I doing, I have done this
I don't need to go back
It isn't for me.
Yet here I go
Once again, beating up me.
It's . . .

As I sit here dying
And my heart bleeds from the loss
I have but a short time to ponder
Is it worth this . . .

How do you explain
to one who doesn't know
the pain of the attack
or the emotions you can't show?
The feeling when you awoke
suddenly in such total . . .

I found a treasure today
more valuable than gold
when I first saw the picture
I could tell that it was old
It's been tucked away for years
just waiting to be found . . .

How far away have you traveled now?
How much further will you go until you see?
All the love you have been searching so . . .

As she stared at her coffee,
she saw again the fatal kiss,
The one that stole her heart
and threw her dreams into a twist.
He could not be the one,
her knight . . .

I know I appear young, and I don't look sick
I know I am not hunched, and you think it's a trick.
I may be heavy, morbidly obese
But I am the one that uses my feet . . .

I want to dedicate this to my daughter, since watching her coach and perform inspired my to write this. I hope she likes it.
The Living Tapestry
Swirls of color
Spinning
Majestic . . .

I found myself buried in sand
head to toe;
Sand cuts, sand fleas
eating away at my body
as I suffocated in despair;
But you washed over me,
cleansing my wounds,
breathing . . .

The arms are empty now,
The space overflows
With memories
And choking fits
Of nightly haunts
And baby’s shadow on the wall.
Even emptiness can hurt
Where the loss is felt
Deep down

You let me go and stepped away
just as you were told.
No more mixed signals coming around
and no more you to hold.
My arms are aching for you,
my heart . . .

The door creaks open.
Sunlight beams onto the faded tile,
yellowed with age, and
silence greets me.
The smell of nicotine
is still in the air,
and I can almost see him
sitting at . . .
