What Crosses My Mind

  • Lost In Love Together

    We would walk togetherMaybe holding hands,Or just side by sideIn our own thoughts,We would share together.Sometimes there is an envyWhen a couple strolls byEnjoying a sunsetWalking together.A certain sadnessComes with age whenWe measure out the years,Alone or together.I wonder about her,If she has a walkingPartner to share her lifeTo feel an autumn together.I guess I’ll…

  • Three Years Later

    I still want to figure it out even when it doesn’t matter, I think about those days, all the different ways we did live our lives, we did hide our sorrows. I think about the time now, the what ifs the why nots the constant barrage of never knowing how. We live a certain way…

  • So, It’s Today

    So it’s three years ago, so it’s today, so every moment of my day, spent trying to find a way, to let go, to move forward to forget about anniversaries, at least the ones, I want nothing to do with anymore. Yet there are strings, parts of my life I can never forget, nor do…

  • Haunting Dissolve

    It began with those … an icy depth of years; not knowing wondering each day. The wall had been erected and suddenly the last brick placed with careful reflexive muse. The door seemed not enough. How to make a statement with no recourse; a fight wouldn’t happen too much knowing judgment. Put clothes on and…

  • The Story of Mak (or Man’s Best Friend)

    The year 2020 started off with a bang for me. I was suddenly about to be found swirling in a myriad of life choices, decisions, adjustments and COVID 19. To begin the year, my marriage of 30 years had fallen apart, and I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and take responsibility…

  • a different life

    Recently, inside a fantasy I was given something not ever would I imagine.   Life doesn’t hold a twist upon what we believe, or chance state of mind might bury itself for years.   An orderly intimacy drawn on paperwork eons ago, the masters of a philosophy in matrimony created this our lives, borne out…

  • Its Quiet Routine

    Its deafening balance is one to be reckoned, the quiet inside a sallowed severance, the act of dismissal, the purity within timely terror on life on reason on separation on courage on and on and on and on we go the circus of our lives.   Its measure of circumstance erupts in a vision, perhaps…

  • Fearing The Worst

    I remember the dreams, the constant reminders a continual tease, a surreal world of sidewinders   Each one with a story, a parallel universe would try to shake me, send me in reverse.   I could never tell if a person real or imagined, it was a nightmare the bottom was assigned.   Otherwise the…
