Google Images; Public Domain Photo by Dick Zeimer It’s cold tonight and your warmth’s gone missing. Your eyes have an emptiness, your heart’s not in them. I’ve felt the gap increasing the distance. Just a short time now that our connection’s been slipping. Sharp pain snaps when the realization is grasped. [...]

Flash and Bull
I bit off more than I could chew when I met you. Your syrupy tongue soon turned harsh and bitter. I give up, you’ve won, now let me walk away clean. I should have known; you were too good to be true. All flash and bull you caught my attention but I fault myself for [...]

Thank You, But No
Thank you, but no. I will no longer read your letters nor will I listen to your voice. Goodbye has been said. Overflowing are my head and heart of the words you’ve spoken that pierced them both. So long, too long, I listened and heard the rantings and manipulation you spewed forth lectures really–of your ideas [...]

Pa-pa
She was a sweet and tender child and wise beyond her years, already knowing the importance of connection to others. Her delicate features, with excitement-blushed cheeks and bright, curious blue eyes made her sensitivity even more apparent. Innocent, rosebud lips finished off the charm. Long, honey-colored hair, worn parted in the middle, fell past her [...]

Walking Away
At first all I felt was just a pinch or two perhaps likened to an itch upon my foot. Then a vague uncertainty arose as the sting grew worse. Words were spoken to confuse me, demeaning my worth But he’s right, I’m wrong, it’s all meant for my benefit. I became expert at shoving those [...]

Distance
We still liked to walk together and explore the woods nearby, even though a dissonant distance had now grown between us. Our walk this day was much like the others, making observations of the direction our pathway may take. Across the trail we pushed through tangled brush and eye-level tree limbs and soon came upon [...]

I’m Angry
I’m feeling angry and my heartbeat is racing. My blood is heated and my ego is squirming. I’m frustrated and mad and feeling so sad that I’ve fallen into this behavior again. I can’t seem to break this habit of mine that keeps me locked tight and feeling unkind. The words that heatedly cut, come [...]

What a dream…
The dream was so vivid, had I dreamt it before? The images were haunting and taunting me so. A feeling of sarcasm, of ridicule and shame– foggily surrounding me moving in and out of the frame. Danger was lurking but the face was familiar, he’s not to be trusted this “dream” man once so desirable. [...]
