Here we go again,

Back at square one.

Told by family and friends

That this time would come.

Job after job,

You can never keep one.

Not because it’s hard, but

Because it’s no fun.

You carry the weight of the

world on your shoulders.

To cope, you keep smoking,

Which makes you look older.

Tell me, why do you push

All your loved ones away?

The people that actually care

You’re okay?

There also a...

High up in the sky,

Feels like I’m soaring

I wanted to to fly

But ended up flooring.

Falling feels like flying until

the moment you land.

If you land on your feet, then

You know where you stand.

If you land on your butt,

You’re just down on your luck.

You can always get up

And try, try again!

As above, so below.

In this life,

There’s highs and lows.

Past mistakes, we must let go

For it’s the o...

It almost felt wrong, the

way it felt so right.

Turns out we have much in common.

Music, food, fear of heights.

Ironically enough,

We met at a bar,

Several stories up,

Looking down at the cars.

We talked for hours,

Losing track of the time.

Laughter and smiles

Over sips of red wine.

One date turned to two,

After that one, another.

You and me and me and you,

Glad we found each other....

Watching sunset on the beach.

Cotton candy clouds,

Far out of reach.

The sky has turned a different hue,

What a marvelous kind of view!

Tides switch from low to high.

Now the moon is in the sky!

Stars appearing start to shimmer

Up above like specs of glitter....

A new place you begin, but

your patience runs thin.

Moving here to there,

Like a leaf in the wind.

Nomadic heart,

everywhere a new start.

Exploring new settings

but never forgetting.

The places you’ve been,

you’ve made many friends.

Wanderlust,

I hope I can see you again....

“Here we go”, I say nervously as we get to the front of the line. I’ve been afraid of heights for as long as I can remember, unlike my sister Deja, who’s been parasailing, never hesitates to ride the biggest roller coasters, and is the one who suggested that we go cliff jumping while we’re here in Hawaii. It’s ironic that she seems more nervous than me this time, less chatty as usual. I nudge her ...

My cat is named Thunder, but

he always hides under

my bed when its storming.

He might stay there till morning!...

My good friend Jacky

Used to dress so tacky.

We’d never lose her in a crowd,

‘Cause her clothes were so loud!...

Can be burning hot or cold as ice,

Water is a key to life.

Filling ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans,

Can be calm and cool or cause violent commotion.

Sometimes clear, others murky,

It can cleanse as well as leave things dirty.

A cool refresher for when you get thirsty.

Falling from the heavens, it helps the plants grow

Take a nice long shower, wash from head to toe.

Still water is a mirror

That i...

Warm cup of black tea

Exactly what I needed

This winter morning...
