Heart Shards Over Ice

Make Mine A DOUBLE




Attraction

sweet chemistry wins:
forced to abandon my mind,

I follow my heart


Wedding Vows

married to a man
who cannot remember
she needs a hug every day
to stay alive inside


33rd Wedding Anniversary

too much honesty
can cause love to disappear;
keep up the façade


Empty Nest

there are worse ways
to spend your life
than trapped
with the person who
once made you happy


Tearstream

meaningless haiku
cannot dam this tsunami
torrents flush heartache


Pacing In Place

grasses grow and grow
my emotionless heart stilled
you might not come back


Divorce Negotiations

wild jackals rip
community property
only the strong eat


Cast

ex-es play no part
the curtain has risen again
the show must go on
