I am a therapist who probably needs more therapy myself, although in my last session my therapist said I am so self aware the good news is I don't have a personality disorder. I write poetry to process my own grief, love, frustration, healing. Maybe one day I will reach my goal, if I ever figure out what it is. Is it healing, is being recognized as having some interesting to say. Hmm, we shall see.

Dream Kiss

What I thought I wanted and
What I really want are not the same
My obsession with your lips
And wanting to kiss them
I thought was my ultimate goal

In my dream you leaned against me
And kissed my cheek
Not softly, but intently

I AM SORRY, I LOVE YOU

To my first love
Why did I think first love lasts forever
Maybe because they are indelible
I’m still thinking about you
You needed to leave and
Invited me to be your anchor
I needed to save myself
Letting you go was the hardest lesson
I...

Does he know

Does he know I admire him from afar
I notice the crinkle of his eyes when he smiles
I see joy I wish to grasp but cannot touch
Longing

Does he know I watch his lips as he speaks
The curve of his mouth is beauty to behold
A treasure painted...

Secret Sadness

What lies behind your secret sadness
Is it a deep cavern or shallow pool
I know the answer but don’t want to presume
I’ll raise you a dose of melancholy

Is it a deep cavern or shallow pool
Your secret sadness is beautiful
I’ll raise you a...

I am one who chases wolves

I am one who chases wolves who enter my dreams
Night tales speak of your bravery or stupidity
I am not sure which fairy tale you believe

Who has the claws and who has the soft belly?
I am not one you should pursue
I will bare my teeth and my...

it was recent dream and it felt so real. I am not sure about you, but I have lots of weird dreams that are just my brain processing the day and everything is mixed in and weird. However, sometimes a dream feels so real.
I know this one was more of a message and not my imagination.
Basically, a blast from the past giving me a message that the person felt the same way but neither one of us was in the position to say it out loud.

As for kissing, I saw you read my other poem (I am sorry, I love you) and the second person in it and I would kiss and kiss forever without anything else happening and it was so amazing. Sometimes that is way more intimate than anything else.

I know Linda was a special lady. You may have mentioned her once of twice :)

I am not a huge fan of rhyming poetry but this one was perfectly executed without sounding like Dr. Suess and I love the humor

This so haunting, that delicate dance of sitting with our melancholy. The sadness no one sees because either we hide it or they just don’t see us truly. Great poem!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
I love your quick wit and banter
I love your stubbornness and tenacity
I love that you put out rhyming to appease the masses (and get the trinkets)
But that you write the "good stuff" for you and hopefully for me to enjoy
I love that you recently got published (well deserved)
I love your biceps
I love your support and friendship
I love the really tough questions you ask about healing (definitely food for thought and perhaps the making a great poem or two)
I love that you make me think
"We must remain fallible and dysfunctional if ever we're going to strive to battle through what ails us." - The great Steve D (best line ever)
And don't you worry my friend, I have plenty to heal from. I just tried to be too positive for bit and that doesn't suit me creativity at all :) Much Love-K
