She lived in southern Missouri for a time before returning to her roots, where she spent the last years of her life with her children, and her pets; Momo, Blinky, and John Jones. A lover of art, she was both a painter and writer, as well as a prolific poet who wrote hundreds of poems from her childhood on, several of which have been published in various anthologies. Sadly, she passed February 15, 2021, leaving behind a legacy of creativity, including some previously unpublished poetry collections, and a legion of family and friends who miss her. May she live on in her works.

All Over Me

On dark waters I have sailed.

Did my time; yes, I’m in hell.

Got no empathy for anyone,

It’s like I’m in a spell

In the garden love tastes fine.

Drink it up like summer wine,

Then it tears me down the middle

And I know I’ve lost my mind

Chorus: Let me go, leave me alone.

All the voices in my head keep calling on the telephone.

You don’t know me and you can’t see,

You just keep talking; you keep walking, ‘til you step all over me

All the tender little souls,

Falling through life’s empty holes.

They can melt a heart of stone,

Yet they always leave me cold

Why’s it always end the same?

You dump on me, yet I’m to blame.

I’m the demon that you conjure,

While you play your silly game.

(Chorus)

Allison

Allison, I waited too long to hold you,

Spent too many nights searching for sleep,

Remembering the things I wish I had told you,

Knowing inside me, you’re all I need.

I’ve watched the trees outside the window

Shaking their heads in the warm summer breeze.

I’ve watched them turn bitter when the cold winter wind blows,

Shrivel and die like the soul inside me.

Oh, I never thought that there’d be no tomorrow.

I never dreamed they’d never set me free.

Inside these walls, my heart’s still beating for you.

Oh, Allison, you’re everything I need.

And I know that I waited too long to hold you,

Too long to tell you what I’ve always known.

Allison, you’re all that I’ve ever lived for.

Now I’m lost in this hell and I’m all alone.

I’m lost in this hell now; I’ll never come home.

American Nursery Rhymes

Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly.

Anything you see, you like, I will let you try.

I promise you, you’re safe with me, I won’t let you die.

A little puff, a little sniff and you can touch the sky.

Miss Muffet on her tuffet, sat eating Christmas pie.

Jack Horner on the corner said, Hey baby, you look fine.

She said, You wanna have a taste? and then she winked
