As History Repeats
He's always been a selfish bastard,"
my dad says, gearing up
into the same story
as the last time
and the time
before,
whenever anybody brings up
my grandfather's selfish habits.
"He's always loved his Sno-Caps—"
(those cheap nonpareil chocolates)
"—ever since we were young.
We sat and watched him eat them,
and he never once offered to share.
The only difference nowadays
is that he feeds two mouths
instead of eight
and can buy the name brand.
It's the little things like that
that stick with you, ...

wishing along as we go
lifting
carrying
holding hope in our hearts
and if our minds allow
I could join with you
to enjoy a seat
a cup of coffee with a chocolate biscuit
conversations flowing with laughter
with tears at times
sharing old stories &new
of families, friends
adventures through life
navigations of wild seas whirling
childhood dreams
to visit us on our way home

Heartstrings
What touches your heartstrings?
Is it miracles you say?
Or maybe it's pure sincerity
You rarely see that today
It could be sheer beauty
Pretty and sweet
Using it's unwavering charm
to make others feel complete
Kindness and innocence
a gift bestowed to few
and whoever carries that power
cast feelings only true
Or love at first sight
not slutty or obscene
intertwining two lives at a time
keeping two young lovers in a dream
These things strum upon my heartstrings
I'd hate to see them go
It's so much...

The Girl in the Forest
The girl’s feet as pure and white as virgin snow,
Move naïvely across rough ground
As through a dark and foreboding forest she does go.
She does not look back from whence she came
But with purpose, forward ventures she.
Past twisted trees and husks of long dead dreams
And thorns so black and sharp and tangled
And cheerless eyes as she passes by seem to follow her
But with a brave young heart and a noble spirit she stays strong
And her delicate feet still go on and remain unharmed to carry her along
Her silken black hair flows behind like her spirit...

And cheerless eyes as she passes by seem to follow her
But with a brave young heart and a noble spirit she stays strong
And her delicate feet still go on and remain unharmed to carry her along
Her silken black hair flows behind like her spirit...
