Happy Birthday

Though you are 1 year

You’ll always be my baby

Lila Balila

Wicked

Slice your heart to find

Just bitterness and red wine

Cold but singed to black

[575poems]

Help

I ask and I ask

I wait and I wait for you

But you don’t choose me

[575poems]

Passive

Get it out of me

This unrest and this complaint

But I repress it

[575poems]

Parenthood

It takes a village

Please tell me where to find one

I see none around

Facebook Marketplace

You are always there

When I need to fill a void

Searching for nothing

[575poems]

Snooze

My eyes won’t open

I cannot move my body

Five more minutes please

[575poems]

Ruminate

My mind can’t change gears

I am walking forward, but

Driving in reverse

Family Beach Week

22 people

Is just too many people

To have in one house

[575poems]

Avoidance

The silence I hear

Wakes the sleeping emotions

I don’t want to feel

[575poems]

Mattress Firm

When mattress shopping

Spooning in front of strangers

Makes them look away

[575poems]

Tylenol

Baby is crying

Toddler is climbing the shelves

I have a headache

[575poems]

Friendship

Words cannot express

My deep gratitude for you

I am glad we’re friends

Here

Did they forget me?

Just hanging out by myself

Yeah, I’m cool with this

Happy Birthday

You are 35

And the beard still looks sexy

How lucky am I?

[575poems]

Favor

Not as important

As the pressure you’re under

Just thought I would try

Wishes

To be seen by you

To be accepted by you

To be loved by you
