  • I Talk to the Moon

    I talk to the moon I miss her when she isn’t there Her company is soothing I feel like my tears are hers to share And I cry for her because she can’t The stars sarade her until you have to stare It’s a beauty I want to mimic It…

  • Crime Scene

    Underwear on the floor  Echoing murmers of more A moment that will forever be shared And a table that needed to be repaired  I thought that night was perfect and pristine  Yet you snuck out in the middle of the night like it was a crime scene M.A.P © 2023

  • Old Love

    We walked on the beach last night a little after 5 Talking about old love And how our parents messed up so bad we can’t believe we are alive 3 boys were arrested while we were there Hundreds of surfers filled the water With 3 cop cars with lights in…

    God is in the trees and the rustle of leaves The happiness in my son’s laughter The crunch of gravel under your shoes The sea shells on the beach and the wind in your hair He is in the rush of water against your hand and the tear running down…

    My PTSD likes to haunt me But that is just PTSD No one told me The pain that comes with motherhood All in the first year That nothing will hurt more Then loving them And the loving comes instinctually It’s not a choice but a whisper Walking off a cliff…

  • Passion

    I find my passions lie in wait They hunger For me to stumble over their cold bodies For me to light the fire And invite them in Shower with them Until they are reborn all over M.A.P © 2023

  • Fragile

    I hate how fragile life is How I step on the frozen lake and it starts to crack I step back too late I can’t take it back I’ve got to accept it or move on I justify that it’s the right thing for me Even if its just a…

  • Banter

    I dreamt about you the other night Like seeing an old friend at a coffee shop We talked back and forth Keeping the banter light Lingering after we said goodbye Because I knew that if I didn’t I would say something I didn’t mean Or that I did I wish…
