I work in marketing and I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. In my free time I write and make art. I like to share poetry here and talk about my life.
On my 37th birthday it feels good to be called "Young Lady" by the older gentlemen 🥲

Sometimes one brother,
Sometimes another.
In fact the elder,
But at heart the younger.
Who are you, I wonder?

It might be our last holiday.
With time looming darkly
In its way,
I'm going over what I need to say.

Two me's, older and younger
Each one facing the other
After the long ordeal is over
They quietly sit down together

A cat balances
High above the ground.
She walks in impossible places,
And you're still the same.

"Greetings" (Part 2 of 2)

... (continued from previous post)

For all the years to come,
Merry Christmas, happy New Year,
Get well soon.

And most importantly of all,
For leaving you so early,
I'm sorry.

Signed: your cherished one,
Sincerely, with all my love,
My handwriting.

"Greetings" (Part 1 of 2)

I'm writing you this card
To tell you that I love you
One last time

Or maybe for the first time;
Did I ever tell you that
In my life?

I'm writing you this card
To tell you congratulations
And happy birthday.

Without a photo
He escapes my mind's eye
His essence, a blur
Of a sparkling-eyed smile
An inner joy bursting
Forth from inside

Let summers be long
Let easy be easy
Let waves come in and
Turn everything to sand

Trapped in time, a memorial
To connections lost
Severed friendships
Estranged kinships
Dated hopes, faded jokes
Careful curation
Of gifts never given

My heart is a harvest
Tears of the earth
On pink velvet
Stem to roots
An unbroken chain
Visitors come and go
Yet here I remain

Whatever happens,
A whole world gets to know me
They meet me in a deep, spiritual area,
Displaying, accepting,
Wonderful and sweet...

Child of song born in ink
Into my own hands; what is this?
A feeling I can't describe.
On this summer night, stars out,
One memory reveals another,
As we revisit, again and again,
The fantasy reincarnated.

I try to create distance,
But you keep drawing me,
And every time I see you,
I find new ways of falling
To greater depths and rising
To higher heights;
This thing is infinite.

You quietly found the things
That I like,
And in each of those things,
You planted
A special message for me:
You love me.
Now I see you everywhere
That I go,
And everywhere I see you,
I love you.

I live a life of privilege:
Nothing merited, nothing earned,
A practice in gratitude.
What say ye, the hard worker?

Awoken to a quiet evening
At the end of a dead end.
Far away, someone's footsteps--
I'm in pain, but I'm content.

Further out, a dog is barking,
And beyond, the forest teems,
As I watch the daylight fading
In this sleepy place of dreams.
