Out of Reach – Haiku

you wandered too far
now your blood runs cold as ice
and your heart is black

On Days I Mourn – Haiku

streets black even at morning
my longing heart slows

Turn Around and Let Me See You

I cannot believe that it’s you
you’re different
you seemed just like me up to a point
now you’re someone else… but not you
I think that and I don’t want to
your life is a sweet story and I have some of those pages
I would love to share them with you if you have the time
the real you
the one in my thoughts
my memories
my dreams
we are still connected you know
and I feel you sometimes
it might be a random smile I get
or a warm feeling all over
you too I bet
that’s the universe saving us for another day
storing our true feelings for each other
where nobody else can find them
I know that and I know that you know that
so, until another day

Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 37 – Growth Spurt

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m walking on a chilled Monday eve watching leaves fall to the ground, thinking about personal growth and how I’ve moved forward with the help of keeping promises to myself. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!

Carved for Attention – Haiku

sits in its place on a shelf 
I stare in envy

Die Trying – Haiku

the day I accept
that your heart forgot my love
is the day mine stops

it is raining now  
it has never really stopped 
like tears from that day
