She Smiles


She smiles the way

Only a girl with 

A secret can smile…

A smile just for her –

From her – 

Not to be shared

Or given away 

To anyone else.

She smiles the way

Only a girl with

A secret can smile…

One that accompanies 

The music in her

Heart…that only

She knows the 

Words to.

She smiles the way

Only a girl with 

A secret can smile

….privately…

Feeling the invisible

Fingers of wind

Trace her lips,

Her shoulders,

Her spine…

She smiles the way 

Only a girl with

A secret can smile…

With a deep joy

Often tinged in a sadness

That is as welcome as

An old friend.

In the empty days,

In the quiet hours,

In the loneliness

That echos in the

Corridors of her mind

….she smiles….

Drowning in Sorrow


Days like today are hard…

reeling from loss and hurt

on my way to joy, but the journey

withers my heart sometimes… I

need the night sky, the wind

in my hair… the

naked fingers of moonlight

gently stroking my skin…

I need to feel alive…

No other way to

swim in these currents of grief

only by surviving, striving,

rambling my way to joy

ramshackle though it may be.

One day this shadow will lessen…

will give way to the light.
