Nighttime Bliss
Nights once amiss
Now birth cerebral bliss
Evenings belong to caring for Oneself
Lovely potions and Serums lining the shelf
A cup of steam next to a Lover dreaming
Worries now a focus of mind-clearing
With crosswords or...

If l were ever to get a tattoo
I know exactly what l would get
Small yet with mammoth meaning
One without regret
My husbands favourite number is six
My sons is two
Mine is eight
So this is what l would...

LILYIn a somber house on Maple Street, where shadows creep,
Lived Lily, a child, in silence she'd weep.
With every creak of the floorboards at night,
She'd hold her breath, gripped by fright.
Mr. Johnson, her father, a looming...

FAMILY CLOSENESS IS GONEFamilies are not
The same anymore
They seem to be
More distant, they’re
Not close at all
They barely have time
To pray and eat together
Everyone’s looking at
Or on their cell phones
Even taking sibling rivalry
To a new low
Jealousy and animosity...

Isolate my childhood self
Justice is only a dream, a
Kind of folk story told

My best friend
And worst enemy
Just leave me alone
Always there for me
I steal her clothes
We share everything
She buys me things
That she needs
Envious again
Competing beauty
They say we look like twins
She's prettier than me
Too long without a...

A Sad Side
A good man of great stature
A presence so strong
Head of a company, head of the family
The place he belonged
Now he sits in a care home
A toy cat cradled in his arms
Imprisoned in his...

The OnlookerShe watches the world go by.
Like Mama's soothing lullaby.
When lullaby delivers its goods; Mama's baby smiles.
Baby draws teddy closer; teddy dissolves into a smile.
Mama looks at her sleeping child; Mama dissolves into a smile.

A Grandmother Remembering
Where have all the moments gone,
As fresh as a summer breeze!
That kissed newborn, fresh, emerald
leavees on Chicago’s trees.
Whatever became of my expansive,
Blond desk, that smelled of fresh wood?
Or, my white and black saddle...

And joyfully smile when they come into sight.
