When I am ashes upon the shelf Will you remember me When you feel your skin tingle Will you remember me When you sense a breath in your ear Will you remember me When you see my toothbrush by the sink Will you remember me When you see my pictures Will you...
It was Halloween weekend, just a little over two months before Katy passed away and we were spending it in one of Katy's favorite places. Asheville, North Carolina, about 100 miles from our home. My mother was in town from Florida, and my eldest sister ha...

His kisses, are dreams and wishes, Of butterfly wings, and new beginnings, Of stormy awakenings, and happy endings. His kisses, are his promises, Of love eternal, and all things special, Of everything magical, and more sensual. His kisses, are distant mem...
I had to go to the airport to pick up my son yesterday. I've made that trip at least a hundred times, so I was in my robotic brain-dead mode where my 50+ years of driving and my subconscious muscle memory were taking me from point A to point B in a comfor...
Teardrops In TheChampagne Our place that we first met, Has closed and is no more. I enter what is left of it, Stepping through its shattered door. As I gaze upon the dust covered tables, And the paint peeling off the walls. I remember the day you proposed...
When one stands in the sunshine, the world around is always bright.It is easy to see creatures at play, enjoying beauty in nature's light.Things are visible and unwrapped, though some can hide in the shadows. Unseen things that can only be felt, when spir...
Standing here against a wall off of the main square her in the dark light of the sun, as I find myself leaning back as I close my tired eyes feeling the warm wind blowing and the heat under blue skies. Thinking of why I was hearing the sound of a drum bei...
