Poem: Catching Up

Can we talk a bit tonight? I’d love to

Hear what’s on your mind. Maybe I

Merely miss the mumbling of your

Soft voice as it drifts through the

Speakers in my often-silent room,

Or perhaps I prefer laughing with you

At every other turn of phrase over

Watching the ceiling fan turn. With

Each whirl that I witness, I wish that

You were with me some more. My

Heart pulls me to you like the tides

Are drawn by the moon, and I hope

To hear from you sometime soon.

Poem: For the Stars

Stars above, paint a picture of light

Against the obsidian night sky.

Watch us wish on meteors,

Thinking that they’re you,

And show us little twinkles

As you shine down on us

Through the atmosphere.

We’ll reach for you again

And again and wonder if

Our hopes have reached

You, too. Stars above,

I wonder if you wonder

About and watch us as

We love to gaze at you.

Poem: Hot Cocoa

Trust your chilly fingers

As they wrap around

The warmth of a mug

Steaming with hot cocoa.

Let your cold weather blues

Melt away like bits of

Marshmallow goop

That float at the top.

Watch the steam rise

As your chest does

When you don’t forget

To take deep breaths.

Trust your chilly fingers

As they let the heat

Seep through the glass

And right to your heart.

Poem: It Rained Today

It rained today, and I wondered

Where I was in the universe,

A speck on a speck on another,

Wishing not to be washed away.
