Pleasure and Pain
Tenderness
on platform
Waiting for train
Couple hoping it will not arrive..
On time today
Clinging to every second
Until time to go
Gets on train
Living until the next time
Waiting to be reunited again.

Poem May 30th 2014

Move on Song
Don’t want to be
Crude
Rude
Lewd
Get into a bad mood
Life ain’t perfect
Does not mean you should quit
Don’t buy into the bullshit
That you are worthless.
You got a value
You don’t see
Give yourself a chance
Hear these words
You are a wonder
Waiting to be discovered
Recover from the bad stuff
Move on
Soon you’ll be singing a happy song
You belong
You are loved
You are worth it
Move on.

Dilapidated dirty door

looking askance at the door.

In Memory of Mandy Von Sivers
Your words spoke
Powerfully
Passionately
Opening up new worlds
Broadening our minds
Your humor captived us
Made many laugh smile
Helped us to forget
Our difficulties for awhile
Friendly
Fun
Bright as the sun
Respected
Cherished by many
You are treasure
that will be missed Mandy!
