Have you ever known
love so close it hurts?
Aching inside
Screaming, “This works!”
Dreaming is heavenly
Waking is better
One step closer
to being together.
Earth suits ripping
at the seams
Bursting with feelings
Glowing like beams
With every glance
With every touch
With every look
With every nudge
With every smile
You’re overwhelmed
Powerful leaps
and spells abound.
I never understood
when people used to say,
“It feels so good it hurts.”
But sometimes love is that way.

Quarter Life Crisis (A Poem)
I am all over the place.
Of everything I want a taste
Both physically and mentally
Dipping toes, intentionally
Maybe this… Could that be better?
Taking flight to chase the weather.
I fly right through,
both high
and low.
People say I’m interesting.
It’s true, I have seen many things.
The more I see
the less
I know.
I run around both day and night.
“So productive!” They’d be right.
The more I do,
the less
I show.
I’ve had nothing come from this
but conquered goals and to do lists.
Checking off the fears I’ve faced,
I am all over the place.
The Many Faces of Christmas (A Poem)
Cold streets, winter nights
Warm windows, wrapped with lights
Loneliness and hands that freeze
Mistletoes and sparkling trees
Santa Clause finds some, not all
Some are at the Christmas Ball
While some are huddled close together
Under bridges, facing weather
Some are warm, by a fire
Some at stores, the constant buyer
Some in Church, singing praise
Some are gone, been so for days
As you join family and friends
Think of all the faces that Christmas lends
And don’t complain, whatever you do
There’s always someone who has it worse than you.
