Big Bang

Born of the same star
Dust, hurtling together through
Finite universe.

To Men re: Mustaches

I present you the

Gold Standard.  Someone hand this

Man a damn cocktail.

"Exit, Pursued by a Bear"

Perhaps the most apt

Direction ever for how

To live one's own life.

To the Boy who said, "I Can't Believe I Fell in a Ditch!"

It was dark last night,
On all hallow's eve.  And um,
I'm sorry I laughed!

It's 2 AM and I'm preparing for a Discovery

Why I hate this job.

What it makes you give - your peace,

Your warm calling dreams.

Happy Anniversary

You still make me laugh
At the most inopportune
Times.  And I love you.

Bad Luck

Despairing bad luck
Is like despairing the rain
That makes green the grass. 

The Title Comes Last

Fear long prevented

My commitment.  But life is

Fleeting.  Time to write.

Micromanagement

There is a point where
Your attention to detail
Will cause me to BLOW. 

*Sigh*

Why did I get up
This morning?  I should have stayed
Warm in my nice dreams.

Fiction

Truer than a plot
Sewn from the known are worlds of
Imagination.

August 25, 2010

Eight and three years have

Passed, but I still can hear your

Voices, Mom and Dad.

Today at the Office

Them: We need you to

Help new girl. Me: I don't know

How to fix stupid.

Here's $18 and I'll throw in another $5

Playing Monoply

With a child is a lesson

In economics.

The Pile

To see through the work

Pile is to see the desk on

Which I bang my head.

Friendship and Laughter

Were ever two things

More vital to me? To these

I add only love!

Alex!

Oldest, dearest friend.
Who shared all my dreams.  It's like
No time has passed.

Sechelt

Life of a different
Pace happens here.  Wind, rain, sun
And sea are the clock.

HVAC

Yes client, there is
A reason it's minus two
In my damn office!

HVAC, pt. 2

No, I can't change it.
Do you think I like freezing
My ass off all day?

Dear Asshole

I know your secret.
Your yelled stupidity is
Still stupidity.

The Goal

Is not perfection.
There is no such thing.  The goal
Is joy, simple joy.

Now Voyager

Bette, they don't make
Dames like you anymore. The
World is worse for it.

The Pier and the Seawall

I remember you
From my childhood.  Fish poles and
Dock diving and sea.

Christina Hendricks

Je t'adore darling!
Red locks and tight frocks inspire
Even dowdy me.

Life Insurance

I am worth more dead.
What does that say about how
My world values me?

EJG

Unexpected grace,
Gentle voice and your words were
A balm to my loss.

This is Why

I work so damn hard

Even in darkness and through

Fear. For my family.

Dr. Who

Will you marry me?
Honeymoon on the TARDIS?
Travel space and time?

Swan Learns the New Rules

Graceful swan glides on
Glass lake, but her feet flutter
Chaos underneith.

Duke

 

You remind me of

My father.  Same blue eyes and

Sharp wit.  I miss him.

Home and Country

Where I lay my head,

And close my eyes, because here

I am safe and free.

Summer

Warm with the smell of

Beach, barbeque and sweet sun.

At least, in theory.

Post-July 1 Billings

Thank you, government

For three hours I can't bill to

Review my damn bills!

Seriously?

Could this month be more

Difficult?  Kiss my lily

White ass, RBC. 

The Past

Passed for a reason,

Take the lesson, toss the rest.

See without the veil.

Murchies Darjeeling Estate

Golden elixir,

Banisher of hangovers,

Jet fuel of lawyers!

Money

Hateful, jealou$ thing.
$ucks light out of life, exhau$t$
Me and torment$ me.

True Grit

Painful under a

Contact lense, but powerful

To fight end of days.

Enlightenment

Fish does not ask why

Do I swim.  He swims and is

Joyful in the waves.

Fear

Evolved to survive
A neurotic by nature
Both blessing and curse.

Nostalgic for the Eighties

In a Big Country,

Jellies, pinks, synth and rad hair

Young, wild and free.

Switzerland

With one awesome goal

Teamwork, strong hearts and your will

Giants you have killed!

Switzerlaaaaaaaaaaaaand!

Comme Ci, Comme Ça

Below happiness

But above sorrow, fear, gloom

A mind full of meh.

ELB

Will to fight the tide

And look doom square in the eye.

To which I aspire.

Friday

You come too little

To grace the end of my work

And bid me exhale.

Little Miracles

Out of the damp dark

An unexpected hope glows,

Warm and light with love.

Influenza

Throbbing of headache

Feverish brow, aches, chills and

Dreams of pure nonsense.

Exhaustion

The point when the will

To go on is eclipsed by

The need to lie down.

Lawyer Deportment Lessons following Annual Review

Keep your voice down, cry

Wolf only when wolves circle

And stop the tall tales.

Essential but most
Difficult of words to say
To and for oneself.

Sore Throat

Yelling reason at

Cresting tides and crashing waves

Strains more than the voice.

Obscenities screamed from the office next door

Gentle reminder

To not work in a panic

And to always breathe.

First Ocean Swim

Turns fingernails blue

Forces shocked breath from lungs

Brings me back to life

Sunday

Too short a free day

Rain, a hot bath and hot tea

A mind tries to still.

Today

A tentative thought

Pushed by an exhausting week

Toward expression
