Poem: Red Shoes

Striped socks and red converse
Comfy blue jeans
A slightly oversized sweater
The uniform of the girl of my dreams

Poem: Disappearing Girl

There’s footsteps in an empty hallway
Laughter in abandoned rooms
A hidden smile that is invisible
All belonging to the disappearing girl

Poem: Starry Eyed Night

A girl with stars in her eyes
The embodiment of a wish
With promises in her lips
Makes me want to stay
Aimless satellite in her orbit
Where she has me spinning

Poem: From a Payphone at 4th and Pine

There’s a pay phone on the corner
Of fourth and pine that I used to call
You collect from on days when I was
Wandering this city alone and thinking
Of you in a red sundress all laughter

Poem: The Girl of the Wild Horses

The smell of hay and horses
Reminds me of a girl in flannel
Shirts with ripped dungarees
Leather of real cowboy boots
Like someone out of a movie

Poem: Ghost of a Girl

I wondered what happened to you
As I thought about traveling west
To find you there and then stopped
If you wanted me you could find me
Instead I traveled to New Orleans
Where I thought I saw you there

Poem: Weather Girl

When it’s cold outside and
The rain is falling in sheets
Grey and colorless as I feel
On the inside I think about
Marie in her blue sundress

Poem: Blue

Blue is the color of her eyes
That turn a deeper shade
Of cerulean when reflecting
The clarity of summer skies

Blue like the deep of a lake
Her azure soul is filled
With experiences lived
Reflecting love and heartache

Poem: Kilmarnock

By the clock it was 5:43 am
On a Tuesday in summer
We had driven all night
Breaking the speed limit
To get to the coast by dawn

Sitting on the hood of your car
Watching as night gave way
