I would like to dedicate this poem to everyone who has lost a child. In the past couple of days I have read where some of my connections are grieving the anniversaries of children/babies who have . . . more

She wondered
If other mothers
Felt the same
When their baby died:
Dull, dark and empty,
As if part of them
Had been torn away,
Buried in another place,
Far off in some foreign ground; . . . more

I look around me and see the accumulation of years,
of living and loving;
Old toys packed away, teddy bears peeping out from
their boxes,
books from every crisis we've endured all the way . . . more

We sit here, across from one another
like hundreds of times before,
you with your fried chicken and salad,
me with my heart on my sleeve.
I'm not paying any attention to the food,
because . . . more

I close my eyes,
for I don't want to be here,
in this place,
receiving from you
what I do not want to receive;
I pretend
and go through the motions
for about the thousandth time,
wishing . . . more

My womb empties itself
of any part of our oneness,
giving vision to
the emptiness that exists
inside of two hearts
who go through the motions
of what used to be;
All that's left is blood red; . . . more

at least, in the beginning;
But when your heart is lonely,

When I think of you, my love
it is with teardrops and a smile;
I've been wandering aimlessly
for what seems like a long long while...
fourteen days, to be exact...
the day you said goodbye. . . . more

My heart is aching;
I feel so scared;
I don't know
what you're feeling
or thinking,
and I need you
like flowers need the rain;
I can't imagine
never seeing you again;
You gentle my . . . more

Quiet, sullen
Paris in the twilight, the longing
My presence
Her forgotten laughter
The streetlights so recognizable
as I walk quietly along a row of trees
Like longing, like wind
A scent wanders through . . . more

I fell into your ocean blue;
We merged with earth and sky,
blanketed by the sun
when the wind took its toll;
Cradled by the forest green,
we bathed in clear running streams
and danced alone
in our . . . more

So here we are, just us two,
miles apart,
and I keep thinking of you;
I want to reach out,
for I feel your pain;
I feel your longing,
for mine is just the same
Remembering your voice,
your sweet . . . more

There is a loneliness that comes with a new attraction,
a reminder of closeness, kind words, intimate secrets,
of loves come and gone and mourned in the dark
spaces of nights spent . . . more

I reach out beside me
to the empty spot, still sagging a bit
from the weight of your body;
I shiver
in my aloneness;
I never knew this bed could be so cold.
If I close my eyes,
I can remember . . . more

(I apologize for the format here. I wanted there to be various stanzas but the editor did not see fit to do what I wanted.)
She walks along the shore,
white capped waves beckon
to her, . . . more

It's so hard to let go
of this wheel that is spinning;
So afraid of the fall;
So afraid of the sinning;
So afraid of the pain
and the look in your eye;
So afraid of the heartache
when I . . . more

Soft as a whisper
you come to me,
amidst the ashes
amidst the tears;
Arms wide open,
my heart is closed,
not quite ready
to face its fears;
I give what I can,
afraid to . . . more

She opens her eyes
to the sun streaming in
and she groans;
Just another day

Somedays we hang in perfect balance
like the moon hangs with the stars,
and this is how it felt when we first loved;
Remember?
Remember how it all flowed so easily?
We could finish each other's . . . more
