Striding over fleeting years,
The earth under my feet
Rotates so fast I trip and fall
And graze my hands and knees.
My legs are growing longer,
The years are getting short.
I don’t know how to stop this ride,
This speeding juggernaught.
Long Legs

Don’t Put Me On A Pedestal
Don’t put me on a pedestal,
It’s so far down to fall.
My faults you close your eyes to now,
In time you’ll see them all.
My inner fears, my flaws and needs:
Humility, not shame.
So take me whole, both bad and good
And I’ll take you the same.
In A Million Years
I would never have dreamed
In a million years
That you would come
And bring me flowers.
I would never have dreamed
In a million years
That there could be
A love like ours.
I would never have dreamed
In a million years
That we would meet
In body and mind.
I would never have dreamed
In a million years…
Is this dream real,
Are we entwined?
First Date
This is pointless
Such hope isn’t right
This is endless
Waiting for tonight
This is silly
Butterflies and fear
This is absurd
Choosing what to wear
This is foolish
Pretending he’ll be mine
This is crazy
I say it every time
The Child Inside
He called me
This morning,
Come out to play.
I’m lonely
And need a friend.
He called me
This morning.
The child within
Is lonely,
She wants to play.
He called me
This morning.
I let me go,
Allowed myself
To play outside.
He called me
This morning.
The child within,
Not lonely,
Has found a friend.
For the friend I have yet to meet.
Maybe Tomorrow
I’m tired, he said,
Working long days.
Yes, we can talk,
Maybe tomorrow.
I’m tired, I said,
Waiting long days.
No, we can’t talk,
New man tomorrow.
She Dreams
She dreams
As the sun sets behind them.
Warm wind teases her hair
As he pulls her close.
She dreams
Of how their lips will touch.
The growing heat
Of bodies pressing closer.
She dreams
But she walks alone.
Grey rain chills her face
But not her thoughts.
She dreams
That he will come to her,
Take her to another place.
That he will save her.
