The Dragonfly
The dragonfly so wild and free, On the wind she came to me. So soft and gentle in the air, Her wings a flutter, body fair. I longed to join her in the sky, She landed as if to ask me why. And looked into my longing eyes, Then up she went into the skies.…

Puppets
I’m a puppet without strings, but that doesn’t mean a thing. If I try to take the lead, the strings will tighten, and I bleed. These strings you cannot see, but they are there controlling me. If I move to left or right, they quickly put up quite a fight. Though I hide it with…

Dirty Laundry
Some will hang it on the line, Others pretend that theirs is fine. I won’t bother yours if you ignore mine, Dirty Laundry. Bogus friends who feign your best, Family leaving you like the rest. I’m better off if I protect my mess, Dirty Laundry. Broken lives in disarray, A little girl,…

Cookies For Dinner
Cookies for dinner, That’s what I want. Cookies for dinner, Because life is so short. I could eat potatoes or stew, Or lentils and meat. But then I’d be stuffed, And there’s no room for sweets. Plus my cookies have eggs , And they have flour and such. Why they are practically bread, So I’m…

Musings
I heard a song the other day, He Loves Us was its name. It talks of his enduring love, It said his love mimic’s hurricanes. I found myself speaking out loud, To the voice inside my head. I said, “does he really love me?” Or is he teasing me instead?” Because life is like a…
