One Year

Happy 1st birthday to my little guy, Alex :D

One Year

February 23, 2014

I heard you cry,

Prompting tears to my eyes.

Holding you close,

It felt like a dream.

Peaceful hours I just watched,

As you became yourself.

The first crawl we all cheered,

Now keeping up is a feat.

Charming smile from eyes to mouth,

Makes the somber elated.

One year, so many moments,

Are gone in an instant.

The greatest gift, my life is whole,

From that night one year ago.

Your World, My Dream

Leave On Your Own

February 25, 2008

I want relief from this

Just to be happy without it

The overpowering thought

Moving around but not out

I can ask you to leave

But you won't 

I cannot get you out on my own

Your World, My Dream

February 15, 2014

The part of your world I have lived in my dreams,

Gives me a sliver of hope as I see opportunity,

Keeping quiet as to not get eager,

Chances slim, I stay reserved.

The light radiant as I remain in the dark,

Heart racing as the fantasy unfolds.

Sleepless nights, the light too brilliant,

To obtain it I must break chains.

Chains that should not be damaged,

Still intact, for now it's a dream.

Our Valentines Day

Our Valentines Day

February 6, 2014

Wooden figurines take me back in time.

I assumed our devotion was in its prime.

I could not fathom that it could flourish

Beyond what I could envision, or wish.

Day of tenderness, of yearning.

To our first kiss I am returning.

Our new, brilliant world started that day.

I don't find it the least bit cliché.

Though the flower, you presume, does not compare

To our shared feelings you wish to declare.

The smooth silk pedals speak.

Countless flowers, this one is unique.

I celebrate this road that we did start

That Valentines Day you stole my heart.

Mountain of Bills

Dark Gravity

February 24, 2008

Feels like gravity is getting stronger

Pulling me down

It feels impossible to stand all the way up

I can feel the bags under my eyes

Warning me that change is here

I have to be strong to push against it

But all I feel is weakness growing

I don't want to be pushed all the way down

But I feel like it's no longer my choice

Mountain of Bills

January 28, 2014

The cost

     Excruciatingly high

Light headed

     Unusually dizzy

Lack of

     No oxygen

Don't fall

     Disturbingly steep

Life line

     Student loans!

OH I WISH!
