Spring Forward

words have been long gone

too many pics and lives lived

since when i last wrote

Sip It Up

beer can be glory
in an Oregon winter
as soothing as warmth

Color Me Home

sometimes blue linings
found high above the city
make silver feel frail

Back of My Mind

the gray sky hovers
over our impending strike
as Portland rain drops

Portland Portal

a misty morning
and a river-bridging walk
saved by comfort food

There’s a Reason and a Season…

to be burned badly
leaves irreversible scars
i know this too well

reminders can burn
with each of love’s harsh seasons
oft without reason

so much lost from this
this me, trying to be good,
trying to please you

for a true friendship?
i would do anything, love.
offer everything.

but all of love’s views
have left me with rejection
(unforgivable)

the season has passed
i am nothing but a post
burned and scarred for life
