The flowers surfaced
Though winter still
The ground gave way
Against its will!
Still cold and hard
A dusting of snow
The daffodils found
Somewhere to go.
Up through the ground
They found their way
A flowering sprout
Just made my day.
The air is brisk
They must be cold
Standing there
Beside the road.
A sight to see
To inspire
Winter now
Will soon retire.
A glimpse of Spring
A sight to see
Two daffodils
Such joy, such glee.

Hate to complain, but have to
Can’t take it anymore
Our neighbors let their dog out
Off leash, outside their door.
The dog needs to relieve himself
He poops most everywhere
They should pick up after him
This really isn’t fair.
We take our dog down to the park
We pick up after her
We try and be considerate
Don’t want to cause a stir.
But, things are getting out of hand
Last night I stepped in shit
So sorry to be so darn blunt
But, really tired of this.
My roommate is Italian
She can’t take it anymore
She wants to get a horses’ head
Place it outside their door.
Guess she’s seen THE GODFATHER
One too many times
Thinks they need a warning
I’ve got to change her mind.
We did complain to Management
Hasn’t done us any good
They haven’t made an effort, yet
Although we think they should.
We share a stone filled courtyard
No grass is there to grow
The poop is filling up our space
It has nowhere to go.
Like walking through a landmine
We try to watch for turds
Our neighbors seem oblivious
I’m at a loss for words.
Don’t want a confrontation
We want to get along
A good thing that our lease is up
In a week …. we will be gone.

I struggle feeling drained, subdued
No strength or mere vitality
Feeling weak, I can’t move
I wonder what’s become of me.
A cup of coffee hot and strong
Helps to stimulate my heart
Wake up the neurons fast asleep
So they can play their part.
Slowly I can feel a surge
I’m starting to wake up
One cup, not two will suffice
It seems to be enough.
Each day a little harder
A struggle to bounce back
Late night calls and parties
Make it hard to stay on track.
Not getting any younger
Not feeling at my best
More and more I realize
I could use a rest.
Perhaps a short vacation
A cabin in the woods
The quiet of the forest
Maybe I’ll go, I should.

A day at a time
A walk in the park
A flirtatious glance
A gesture, remark.
The touch of your hand
As you take hold of mine
Lost and enchanted
A moment in time.
A seasoned romantic
With all the right moves
Such charm and such grace
With nothing to lose.
So easy, compliant
Too eager to please
Succumbed to the rapture
I fell to my knees.
A block to your flat
A large spacious room
A bed and a table
A guitar out of tune.
Some paintings unfinished
Hung up on the wall
A bottle of wine
We drank it all.
The sparks and the fire
Ignited, inflamed
Not one to object
I never complained.
Down to the core
Deep down to the bone
A surge of elation
Like I’ve never known.

So tired of your mood
Always snippy and rude
Nothing is good enough
Nothing I do.
Picking apart
Everything that I say
Angry , annoyed
Out to ruin the day.
I do what I can
But, you’ll never change
Where can I go
To avoid all this pain?
Head for the hills
Salvage the day
Remove myself
Just get away.
I don’t deserve this
I do my best
Maybe you need
Some medication, some rest.
Always on edge
I know the signs
The tension is building
It happens each time.
I see it coming
Can’t make it stop
Your hateful remarks
Spilling over the top.
When it’s all over
You feel really bad
But things have been said
You can’t take them back.
Can’t take this abuse
I’ve had enough
It’s out of control
It’s become….. way too much.

We danced all night
Got hot and heavy
I felt the heat
Was feeling sweaty.
The music stopped
Was half past three
She took my hand
“Come home with me!”
We drank some wine
We burned some candles
Took off our clothes
Kicked off our sandals.
No second thoughts
I jumped right in
Went in… head first
Knew I could swim.
Was comfortable
Aligned, in sync
I didn’t need
To pause, or think.
The hours passed
Now intertwined
She looked at me
Her eyes met mine.
Was overwhelmed
As in slow motion
Her body moved
So much emotion.
I held her close
So close to me
Kissed her good night
Then fell asleep.

That first kiss was all it took
You were so hot, it was so good
Lost my mind, gave in to you
Nothing left for me to do.
Shut away, locked the door
Laid in bed…. wanting, more
Used me up, then let me go
No second chance, you just said, “NO!”
Brokenhearted , devastated
I thought if I kept calm and waited
You’d want me back, you’d call me up
But it was clear, you had enough.
A major player, so much charm
You didn’t need to twist my arm
I fell so hard, I lost my head
Spent the day and night in bed.
An open book, an easy mark
All it took was just one spark
Convinced that you could walk on water
That’s how it was, until we parted.
Shown the door, returned your key
I knew that you were done with me
You led me on, you set the trap
I was duped, yes….I was hacked.

A winter walk
Coats and gloves
Boots and scarves
Grey sky above.
Cloudy and dark
Expected to rain
Perhaps it might
Just snow again.
Corduroy pants
A flannel shirt
A sweater, a vest
And my leather purse.
A cup of hot chocolate
With added cream
The ice on the trees
The glimmer, the sheen.
A walk thru the park
A cold winter’s day
I sat on a bench
Watched the squirrels run and play.
Out and about
A walk on my own
Nice to get out
Soon… heading back home.
I should have known
I shouldn’t be here
It was my choice
Or so it appears.
The look on her face
So intense, so extreme
I started to panic
This wasn’t a dream.
The constant barrage
The judgement , the blame
I made a mistake
So sorry I came.
I wanted to run
I wanted to hide
My heart was pounding
I started to cry.
She never let up
I had no defense
Nothing about this
Made any sense.
No way to reason
With distortion and lies
In over my head
With no alibi.

Thinking about you
Wondering why
You’re content with so little
Enough to get by.
Money for rent
Money for weed
You do what you can
To get what you need.
You smoke and you drink
While you play your guitar
Not looking for gigs
Satisfied where you are.
Should go to LA
Connect with the scene
Make some new friends
Follow your dreams.
You need motivation
You could make it, you could
You’ve got talent and looks
You’re way better than good.
I sit and admire
The way that you play
But, you need to be driven
To make it today.
