You’re so sure of your
View of me, that you forgot
To see who I am

post holiday traffic blues

back in the red sea
miles of winding tail lights
the slow swim home.

chasing normal, coming up short

8 hours of sleep
you say that's normal
I say it's rare.

New Years

sun breaks and tree tops
crystallized snow still covers
last years fading dreams

Winter

snow is deafening
In a way that rain can not
Even imagine

more please

Sunday morning
a pocket of ripe tomatoes
woodpeckers and chai tea

Just sayin'

You know what doesn't

Go on top of your toothbrush?

Fancy face lotion 

today and always

in case I forget
to say you are amazing
and that I love you...

let these words find you
and remind you, you are worthy
beautiful and strong.

you are not alone.
you are seen, you are nurtured
you are loved. 

xo t

weekly rituals

sheets and blankets - clean
corners tucked, cover smoothed out
the perfect made bed

goodbye 2015.

you said you love me
I might have imagined it,
just the once, as you left.

is this week over yet?

I'm just to tired
than to do much more than laugh
thank god it's friday.

Oh Chocolate,

my stress adores you, but my

pants no longer fit. 

not everyone agree's in here.

My heart would like to make

an official complaint to

my head and gut.

"You might be right, but 

I stubbornly disagree... 

at least for today." 

hopeful

lit snowman in grumpy neighbors yard?
nope, lights reflecting off security sign.
bah humbug.

this old routine

date night with yourself
fancy dress, sexy hair, manhattan..
home by 6pm. boo

that moment when you think,
is that puddle on the floor
my brain?

fall storm

driving in starlight
the roads littered with branches
dinners on camp stoves 

monday, I want to love you.

some days feel like 

a long road full of pot-holes
in a rain storm. 

all in a days work

Winter gardening
cleared out some blackberry's
& caught a bug in my eye.

Sums it up.

Falling asleep, you realize

Your underwear has been

Inside out, all day.
