Dancing as if my grandfather wasn’t a priest.

In my dreams, we were playing beer pong.
I don't know who was keeping score.
People were singing along to songs.
I had too many drinks and that’s for sure.
There was a celebration going on.
I didn’t know if this was for real.
My hang-up and my fears were all gone.
I knew that I liked the way that made me feel.


Dancing as if my grandfather wasn’t a priest.
Singing like no one was listening to me.
I never felt anything so wild and at ease.
The new me, was relaxed and free.


Now I’m sober I remember it all.
We both agreed to meet in that bar.
You had to hold me so I didn’t fall.
Pretending to be strangers not who we are.


Dancing as if my grandfather wasn’t a priest.
Singing like no one was listening to me
I never felt anything so wild and at ease.
And that new me, was relaxed and free.

It’s funny how that all came to be.
But it seemed to be what we needed.
To revive the love you had for me.
Not simply to hear I love you repeated.

Bye, Bye to you

I found my prince and he isn't you. Though I adored you. You didn't understand or have clue. That's why I'm saying bye, bye to you. I don't want to wait for what you'll do next. Still breaking up isn't easy. For me it is necessary. I don't need to be embracing pain. My spirit was broken by your hands. Envisioned life with you, But not the difficulties you put me through. For better or worse,  I meant that too. But I also wanted love and compassion. But indifference was more prominent. That's why I'm saying bye, bye to you. Buy my book of poems here

Relevant Insignificance!

Every marriage has it ups and downs, highs and lows. Oddly enough because I had taken on a monstrous of a task, the things that damage mine had quite a bit to do with that. Whatever caused my heart to become broken were the things that impacted my children’s future. It was enough that I had to battle society to do the right thing. It was horrendous that I had moments where I was engaged in battle with my spouse for the exact reason. I can recall an instant when a star war movie was premièring in May 1999. It was on the same day as my daughter's preschool graduation. As I sought my husband’s support to attend the graduation, he defiantly told me, our daughter would have many more significant miles stones. At those moments, he would be there, but that graduating from preschool was not one of them. He added that it was not every day, however, that a Star War movie opens, so that was what he chose to attend. Even at that early age that particular child had struggles. I did not view t...

More on days I didn’t want my troubles. I longed to go back to carefree times. When life seemed as easy as blowing bubbles.   But when I start to feel denied. I simply close my eyes. I’m resting in the arms of God, And I’m wanted and sheltered. It’s peaceful in the arms of God, And that’s all I need to remember. I felt crushed and rejected. Excuses told me, no one was to blame. But that made me feel defeated. Although it didn’t really put out my flame. ...
