The way he savored me
With just a glance
Confirmed that
I was in for some
Perfect Trouble
Tonight

The way he savored me
With just a glance
Confirmed that
I was in for some
Perfect Trouble
Tonight
An excerpt from “Mad Housekeeping: Poems from the Edge”
The vision I see
Is a better place
Full of happiness
A return to grace
Bellies full of yummy food
Education would be the rule
We have the chance
To change the wrongs
Not just for some
For everyone
It’s just a moment
One second or two
Just for me
to look at you
To watch your face
See your eyes
To remember why
I’m in love with you
Spending my life
Listening for that
One heartbeat
That matched mine
I could not hear it
Though you were by my side
All this time
An excerpt from “Under the Tree” by Tracy Meyerhofer
I’d travel to the moon and back
To watch you wake at dawn
To see you cuddle in our blankets
To rumple up your hair
But time can’t change the craters
The endless tears or scars
The void that stands between us
The emptiness we share
I never said I love you
Intentions lost in time
Opportunities wasted
Instead you should be mine
I saw you at the station
The habit on your head
Now you live a different life
I walked away, respect
