With tears I cry but mainly smile
to those around me for a while...

It’s December. The weather is cold.
Sometimes is hot. We live in Texas...

I never loved you like I love you today

Then I need no diamond ring...

Title: A Heart that plays with fire
a ribbon laced around a pony tail...

that boy you called a twig
was the compass who guided me home...

My lord, tomorrow when it’s dark and cold
and hopes are grounds that shake without control...

Death puts people in a crib
And from there...

Water was boiling, spilling from a small pot...

but surely enough...
