Life spoken through poetry.

Everything hurts

and nothing is free.

Currently a stay at home mama to two wonderful, crazy kiddos. Finding my voice through poetry, and desperately finding time to read and write.

Coming Back
I really feel like I've been here before. I look around, the sights and smells lingering more. More familiar, the music. I listen, I feel.

Hidden Gems
You were forbidden. You found me after more than ten years, and you were so forbidden. But I wanted you, I wanted you more than I did all those years ago back when it was possible.

Baby
I kiss the round cheeks, the softest touch this sense can feel. I smell the sweetest of scents, from wispy little hairs, from the little round head.

Breathe
Inhale, exhale my anger won't let me do this. Think before you speak my rage does not let me. Control your emotions my frustration forces itself out.

Today part 2
Today, instead I honor the father of my children I found someone so unlike you. Maybe I should thank you, for knowing what not to choose.

Today part 1
I struggle with the word father. It takes me back to a time I do not wish to remember. I hear the word, I picture screaming, yelling, hitting.

Sweet Boy
Most perfect, sweet boy I love you so much. I am sorry for yelling, for making you wait. When it was just you I was dropping you off each morning.

Tension
My shoulders hold it all. These once slender curves from neck to arms a smooth downward slope now two humps full of tension.

Cravings
I crave routine but I can never get to it. I make lists. To-do lists with time constraints, but by the time I am checking these off, I am an hour late.
