Today it has become apparent to me that I need to do some spring cleaning. It's not just preparing for the new season but I realized that I need to get my life back in balance. I . . .

Just when you get comfortable
Things then begin to change
Right side up and upside down
Your life feels rearranged
With expectations out of sync
Feelings put in to question
It's . . .

My heart is aching
There's so much I want to say
But there's really nothing to say
Because it won't change anything
And at the end of the day
I'm feeling empty and frustrated . . .

The landscape looms
With some contrast
No hues of blue
For ocean and sky
No use for color
In a world so defined
No unneccesary distractions
No creative juices flow
Right side atrophy
Shrivels . . .

Inspired by one of my favorite songs, "Deep Water" by Seal
It's in the very darkness
Where you'll find the silence
Many times it is welcoming
Other times it is deafening . . .

His eyes watched me as I came in from the shower. Wrapped in a large, white towel that he had stolen from one of the hotels he frequented in LA, I went through my morning routine of rubbing lotion . . .

Your world caves in
Around you
Within you
The pain too palpable
To face
To fight
Embracing the dark
Surrendering
Relenting
Blind to those
Who love
Who care
And bring you light
To give . . .

I have to give props to Will Evans who unknowlingly gave me the idea for this poem-he had me in tears yesterday (the laughing kind).
Secret rendenvous
Sex, hot and steamy
Old enough . . .

For Paul, one of the keepers.
How many times have you heard the term "they were meant to be?" I believe in fate, but not that there is only one person in the whole wide . . .

Will you love me
When our eyes meet across a crowded room
And you see the sparkle of my green eyes taking you in?
When we hold hands as I lay my head on your shoulder
As we watch the sun . . .

Catching up
Here and there
Smile. Hug. Kiss
Holding me
Laying next to me
Having your way with me
Rest. Repeat. Walk away.
Door shuts
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of luck
Out . . .

Here it comes. The New Year. The time when we ponder the year that has passed and make resolutions for how we want our next year to be, improvements we'd like to make for ourselves and . . .

The frigid air chilled to the bone
Leaves with their colors gone by
Become a dry, brown blanket
Covering what was once a carpet of the richest green
Boats rock on white capped waves
Lifeless vessels . . .

I’ve never thought of myself as creative or artistic. I saw art as drawings, paintings, sculptures, works for which I possessed zero talent. My mother draws quite well and my . . .

I called out your name
But you walked right by
I caught a glimpse of a teardrop
Running down your face
I felt the sadness of your heavy heart
The pain of love and loss

Waves crash over me
Salty blue water chokes
Arms and legs treading
Head back trying to stay afloat
Gulping for air
Ocean tosses this rag doll
Looking through water's window pane . . .

She walks the long way home
Her time alone to think
Into a bar she'd roam
As the bartender pours her drink
It helps her to forget
And chases away her pain
Spends so much time . . .

Walking along the shore
Waves crash around my ankles
I search for the perfect seashell
A keepsake for this place and time
I exist on a different plane
Between the sand and sea
It's . . .

I flew down on Sunday morning to take a few days to myself before training began. I sat by the pool on the 6th floor overlooking Fort Lauderdale beach. There was a cool breeze blowing that . . .

Seek and you shall find
Still on this journey
Forever searching...
The clouds let loose the fury
Engulfing with thuderous rain
Wondering where the sun has gone
Alone in a crowd . . .
