Relationship Blogs

I’ve read a thousand blogs and poems About what true love means And though I’ve tasted on my tongue Many people’s hopes and dreams Still I find myself here again Reading what others have gleaned The mirror sees me day by day My lips, my hair, my eyes But night by night I change my…

Painted

I stare at the mountain, all white capped in snow With clouds brushed around it, painted on my window The trees on the hills are just oil scraped along The sun up above will be there everlong For everything’s frozen in time’s wandering mist No time for a whisper, a sigh, or a kiss I…

Artist

Your bright lips brush my cheek Painting smiles on my weary face Your breath whispers through my ears Sweet symphonies fill the empty space Your soft hand folds onto mine Lovely origami of your embrace Your eyes speak volumes unto me Words like this are what I see 

The Alleyway

  I walk down the city streets Strong, confident strides Button down shirt shielding my torso Long khaki pants guarding my legs Slightly too large leather shoes Slapping the concrete with bold steps I pass them on the left and right An old t shirt draped over her frame Light wash jeans hanging off his…

Fine and Dande

Once there was a dandelion seed that was pushed from its stem. The wind blew a gust, or a child smiled and huffed, or two lovers wished and puffed. But however it happened, it did, and the seed grew up in a single moment. No college, no first job, no self help books, just a…

Dew

In the morning glade I meet With insects birds and trees These rare encounters I hold dear As the bring me to my knees Far from the world but still so close I deafen my ears from its sounds I wish my legs could carry me away With mighty leaps and bounds These moments my…

Smokescreens

I was tempted, at first, to write a blog about the confederate flag and racism in the south. Then I was tempted to write a blog about how Christians can avoid ending up on the wrong side of history with the national legalization of gay marriage. But today I will write about neither of these….

Darkness Flees

I walk into a room and flick on the light. Though sometimes the soft white glow comes in a burst, tonight it is slightly slow. I see the darkness rush back, fleeing from the light. The shadows rush to the closet, scuttle under the bed, and hide from the indoor sun behind any object they…

What If I Stumble?

DC Talk is a great band. I discovered them in my early musical years when I wasn’t supposed to listen to normal rock and hadn’t yet stumbled onto techno. I found several of their CD’s in an old Tupperware box full of my parents old CD’s in my basement (as you can tell I was…

Stretch Marks

She sighs as her eyes trace the lines on her thighs Her leg trunks have stretched, like the mighty oaks rise The marks of the latter mirror rings in the former Both testaments to growth, each a mark of honor The tigress is beautiful because of her stripes Without orange, black, and white she’d not…

Fairy Princess

Sparkles round the eyes betray your magic The way you sometimes hide it is quite tragic You put on a paper mask that’s meek But tonight pixie dust glitters on your cheeks Here’s no pursing lips or faulty frowns The pearly white tiara on your face, a crown With your lovely words you cast a…

Memory Gem

My dear take this diamond and put it in your eye Let it shine when your eyes blaze Reminding you of the love we share My dear hear these whispers Stash them in your ears Let their soft murmurings soothe you When my voice is drowned by tears My dear hold my fingers Hide their…
