I'm tired of searching for the perfect words,
tired of the reason,
tired of the rhyme;
How can a broken heart

When I think of you, my love
it is with teardrops and a smile;
I've been wandering aimlessly
for what seems like a long long while...
fourteen days, to be exact...
the day you said goodbye. . . . more

It's so hard to let go
of this wheel that is spinning;
So afraid of the fall;
So afraid of the sinning;
So afraid of the pain
and the look in your eye;
So afraid of the heartache
when I . . . more

She opens her eyes
to the sun streaming in
and she groans;
Just another day

No names left to employ
Or sweat from a day's wage
Day and night blend as one
In emptiness like pain
Of footsteps heard no more
To gird the sunken brow
Where hopes once had glimmered . . . more

I came across your picture today,
and in an instant, you washed over me.
All of the feelings that I thought were gone
came rushing back in a tidal wave of emotion,
and I'm drowning...I can't . . . more

The day you left me
was gray, and
the air was heavy
as if with tears;
Could it be the angels
were crying?
Surely the sun slept
on that dismal day,
shining on neither
rich or poor,
happy or sad, . . . more

Your kindness is killing me;
Why don't you just let me go?
Why must you sugarcoat the bitterness,
make promises you have no intention
of keeping? . . . more

I feel so tired,
and these teardrops
won't stop falling;
Nothing is the same
since you're gone.
I look in the mirror,
and its me...just me
standing there,
loneliness my
only companion. . . . more

This heart beats,
waiting for love's coffin
which will surely come,
for how can anything so beautiful
linger on?
This world cannot contain it
amidst the ugly darkened doors
which slam shut on . . . more

Your arms have surrounded me
for so long,
now that they are gone,
I feel a shiver;
Lonely is a cold place to be.
I knew it was time
to say goodbye,
but that doesn't mean
it . . . more

The mist slowly rises over the lake,
the same lake that I have spent
countless hours, thinking of you.
Today everything looks eerie and gray,
much the way I'm feeling without you . . . more

Soft as a whisper
you come to me,
amidst the ashes
amidst the tears;
Arms wide open,
my heart is closed,
not quite ready
to face its fears;
I give what I can,
afraid to . . . more

(This is written in remembrance of my baby, Maryanna Hope who was stillborn on April 26, 1995)
Like a breath of springtime,
my baby...you would be
if you were nestled close to me;
You . . . more

I would see her sitting there day after day
staring out at the ocean, and
her eyes were so sad.
I worried about her...
worried she was imagining
what it would be like to delve into the deep.
But . . . more

She couldn't believe
The time had gone so
Fast, the last twelve months
Had been a Hell, a
Hard-to-get-through space
Without the touch or
Feel of God or His
Fine grace, or so it
Seemed, . . . more

Warm summers
Sitting on the portch swing
Arms crossed
Looking alike
Only memory I can seem to recall
As I sit there
Looking at the stone
That you are now
The only reminder that you where here . . . more

I wrote this for my good friends Norma and Donald and their daughter in hopes to soften the passing of Mrs. Chu.
As the heart sees closed windows
Of someone so deeply loved
There comes a sense . . . more

The monitor screen showed
No sign of the baby's
Heartbeat. She thought the damned
Machine was on the blink
Or the doctor had got
It wrong or pushed some odd
Button other than the
One . . . more

I remember the way I used to melt into your arms,
but now the temperature has dropped, and I am frozen out.
I can't seem to melt through the icy layers
that used to be non-existent.
I remember . . . more
