Cj Heck Poems

A little room within my heart
has a door that wears a star
with a weathered name emblazoned there.
This is where you are.
...

My sentiments trickle in bits and pieces
to dangle like soap on a rope,
hanging around, but out of reach
till the right words come
...

I gotta play by myself today
cause Mommy is cleaning and mopping.
...

Sadie slumped in the chair
at her favorite table at Mel's.
Merry Christmas. Yeah, so what?
Six empty glasses were lined up
...

It comes in many flavors.
It comes in lots of smells.
It can keep a secret
and never, ever tell.
...

Monkey see,
monkey do,
I used to want
to be one, too.
...

Homeless man I watched you
line a deserted doorway,
your Maytag boxes cardboard monuments
in Fed Ex labels
...

Whisker droppings in the sink,
moustache trimmed just so.
Spots of water on the mirror,
always in a rush to go.
...

Today I'm cookin' the dinner.
I stir in all the stuff that I should
'cause I know just how to make it
so EVERYthing I cook tastes good.
...

Come to me, come to me, sweet love,
in spring when daffodils bloom
and the ice floes melt into clear clean streams
by our soft bed of moss in the glen.
...
