AT THE LAZY FLAMINGO At the Lazy Flamingo With pen in one hand And steamed gulf shrimp in the other On the Isle of Captiva Soft salty breeze blowing Words flowing My thoughts adrift On the waters of Mexico’s Gulf Where will they go Who could know Maybe some far distant shore Or maybe they’ll…

ALWAYS BE In the next life I will find you Because I will always be me And you will always be you Your name and appearance May change The language you speak May be strange But, I will find you Because our souls are connected Our bond is eternal Never to be affected I have…

SHATTERED HEART THIEF My heart was scattered To and fro But to you It didn’t matter You could have cared less So, I picked up the mess One shard at a time Some pieces so small and fine That I thought I’d go blind Or lose my mind During my desperate search Like a bird,…

HOW DO I LOVE THEE? How do I love thee, let me count the ways.I love thee:In every dawn that breaks with golden hue, In whispered winds that through the meadows sway,In every moment spent with thoughts of you.I love thee with the laughter of the day, With every tear that falls like morning dew,…
