My Baby Girl

My baby girl
means the world to me.

Her eyes of harvest gold
penetrate my soul,
igniting a part of me I never knew existed.
Her doggie lips lift in an adorable smile showing off teeth white as rice.
A single crooked tooth 
produces a jovial effect.
That dog can get me to do anything.
She can slip out of trouble
as easily as wet glass slides through fingers.
Her sweet, innocent nature is compelling.
Love flows between us so strongly 
no dam could ever hold it back.
I wake up every morning
yearning for her loving kisses.

She is my North Star
in a world of darkness.

  • Awaiting An Invitation

    Tree limbs dance in
    the breeze of baited breath,
    roots threaten to break ground zero.
    time;
    too much
    too little
    only the trees understand 
    me

    glass stregthens
    mirrors melt
    clouds converge and darkness reigns

    Sentenced

    I am guilty

    The bars which restrain me
    are but my own fault

    I am guilty

    The lifeless walls
    frozen, unfeeling
    yield no give as I fight to break free

    My crimes:
    To want,
    the stars

    Only A Memory

    The wind
    brushes my cheek, with a kiss. 
    Neck craned, my eyes
    skim the sky in bliss

    The scene before me,
    a canvas to interpret,
    I stare, deep within the soul of each star
    this game I refuse to forfeit.
