talk to my face
let your eyes focus
on my eyes
dont let them wander
down my neck …to my breasts
for it unnerves me
as
i am a mother,a sister and a wife
and the way you stare
makes me feel violated
if you could
look
into my heart
and
read my mind
maybe
you would
never
hurt me
Hold my hand
Lest I fall
Walk with me
Lest I stallCare for me
Lest I rot
Lead the way
Forget me notHold me close
Lest I cry
Wipe my tears
Wipe them dryThis all I had wished for
But you went away
I miss you daddy
Wish you had stayed.
my thoughts of you
haunt me
I trace my memories
to the good times
you made me have
as a child
you were always
the better parent
Dad
candy floss clouds
floating from earth to the skyline
a beautiful vision
sitting in an airplane
looking at the fleeting clouds
wanting to write a haiku
stay with me
for today is the winter solstice
and the day is too short
