Clearing the Coast

I will not wish you well, I'll forget your birthday, I'll turn your name into anything I please - like target practice or maybe even a poem on a freeway overpass. I swear to God you're going to lose every bit of me if you don't start giving a damn about my wellbeing.

I will not tolerate any more dead weight or poison creeping into my veins.

Waiting on Some Sun

Baby, if you can watch as the lights dance sing of winter than the coming summer stars have many kinds of love in store for you. 

Forgiveness was Already Given

Baby, you will always be more than a story I told my therapist. 

Greatest Strengths

Someday people are going to look back at our story and wonder how we made it through so much and the only answer we will have worth giving is all we’ll say:
“The American Dream is nothing without perseverance.” 

For Real Family Only

When the weight of the world rests solely on the shoulders of a loved one it's okay to cry in the middle of the day for absolutely no reason at all. 

Brewing up Some Company

It's been a while since you have come by for coffee or tea and I think I am even beginning to forget how to use the tea kettle anymore. I haven't heard from you in a couple years now, but I just wanted to say I hope the sun is shining where you are and if it isn't than I

Craving a Decent Celebration

You've gotta have a little bit of fun or there's really no point in growing up any more than this in the future. 

The Great Tea Fiasco

Thank you for being patient with me when I wouldn't even be. 

Just a Lonely Piece of Brick

I'd love to say something cheesy like, "I'll wait for you", but as a poet I'm running low on my allowed cliche' count. Besides if this is finally going to be the real thing - like you swear it is - I'd rather be original.

So instead let me be the cornerstone to your dream home. I don't mind living on paper for a while. 

Predecessor of the Sun in Training

Far too many stars burn themselves out far too quickly and my dear, I will not allow you to do the same. I will offer you everything I can to keep you as healthy, happy, and long as possible.

Happy Birthday, my Dear.

To Act as Lightning

The Importance of Breakfast

Honestly, you have no real reason not to be a morning person, so why don't you try coming over in a couple hours and sharing some coffee and toast with me. Who knows, it might turn your day around quite a bit. 

How Far We've Come

I'd rather have too many choices than not enough. That is why I believe that you are so in love with the stars - the same one rarely catches your eye twice.
