(2015)
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
