I’m not an easy soul to read
even for those who really know me
outside the lines of poetry
I keep a lot to myself
lock it down
there’s too much clutter in my head
to allow anyone else access
I get muddled
can’t tell where their thoughts start
and my own end
so I retreat
between parchment sheets
scribing my pain with little restraint
so I can breathe
but she knows me
feels when I’m off center
understands how it feels & how I process
she knows what to say
and when not to
keeping me grounded
when it all gets too much
I can count on my Pod
if ever I find myself falling
Taryn always catches
doing what sisters do
and helping me get through
Pixie, I’d be lost without you
Let Me Be Your Rain
Corners of your parchment heart curl
as the world you once knew unfurls
words written
so sensual, so smooth
dried up as petals
of a once blooming rose
wilting ever slowly
as seasons drift on by
wet eyes stare off blankly
into a now deserted sky
let me be your rain,
and wash away the pain
let me be your rain,
and clear up all the grey
heart drenched chills,
kiss tears upon a cheek
when the sun finally awakens,
skies won't seem so bleak
as the world you once knew unfurls
words written
so sensual, so smooth
dried up as petals
of a once blooming rose
wilting ever slowly
as seasons drift on by
wet eyes stare off blankly
into a now deserted sky
let me be your rain,
and wash away the pain
let me be your rain,
and clear up all the grey
heart drenched chills,
kiss tears upon a cheek
when the sun finally awakens,
skies won't seem so bleak

Dapravity
vile, depraved, monster
thrive on others pain
spread nasty rumors
breed doubt and disdain
manipulate to subjugate
gather your rabble
your lies to propagate
nonsensical babble
spewing corruption
via your paper dolls
nasty ass fucker
you got some balls
but you picked the
wrong group to fuck with
and certainly the wrong mark
we will NOT stand there watching
as you aim for his heart
Have you never heard that what's done in the dark WILL come out in the light?"

When I Fall Apart
I come to you with my vulnerability and heart
Covered in imperfections, blemishes and scars.
Darling, you are there to watch the bright stars
With me, but when I want to be brave and dart
Out into the middle of the rain will you join me?
We will be wet and dripping with all of the tears
Streaming down my face. Sometimes those fears
Come in like the moonlight and the shadows I see
Creeping In the middle of the night, but will you
Keep them at bay for my sanity? Will you catch
Me when I keep on falling? Like a gate’s latch
You are my safety net, but is it ever enough to
Keep me from running away or falling apart? I
Have no one else to turn to when I cannot love
Myself enough to be keeping doubts away. Of
Another place and another time I would try my
Best to love you back with all that you deserved.
Honesty, loyalty and every inch of me. All from
My mind, body and soul, but I am too numb
To feel anything in this lifetime. I have reserved
Too many spots in my heart for someone to take
And take, giving nothing back in return. I am sick
And tired of it all. So who is there for me? A brick
And wall over my heart to keep away the ache
People are afraid to keep a hold on. They are leaving
Me to carry the hurt, but I someday I will stop grieving.

Why love hurts
Why does love have to hurt?......
Why does love have to blurt?.....
It blurts out L-O-V-E........
It blurts out flee....
Flee from the stresses of what love brings....
Flee from the stresses of why the body tings....
I ask the question what does love bring......
Why does love have to blurt?.....
It blurts out L-O-V-E........
It blurts out flee....
Flee from the stresses of what love brings....
Flee from the stresses of why the body tings....
I ask the question what does love bring......

TWO VALENTINES OF MINE
Dedicated to my two nieces with the surname of Valentine.
I hope someday you’ll find this and read how much you’ve both have meant to me. Your unconditional innocent love provided me with the therapy I so desperately needed. While battling cancer, through the both you, I’ve realized love’s healing powers. You’ve inspired me to share with others the importance of what I discovered.
Cancer and Stress Therapy,
Ask anyone who's battling cancer, and they'll tell you nothing can tax the body and mind like radiation and chemotherapy. The resulting stress is enormous.
Cancer patients use a variety of methods to relieve stress. Popular approaches are massage therapy, meditation, aroma therapy and prayer. In my battle with cancer, I've discovered a way to combine all.
Just hold a baby.
Hold a new human close to you. Taking deep breathes shut your eyes. Strong little hands will grip you, firmly but gently. The pounding of a quick little heart and fragrance of silken baby hair will hypnotize you. Soon you'll be so overwhelmed with love, that through the voice of baby's breathing, you'll hear God whispering sweet comfort in your ear.
Take it from me. There’s no better stress reliever then holding a brand new person. I was fortunate, that my diagnosis of cancer coincided with the birth of my youngest niece, Juliet. Between baby Juliet, and her toddler sister, Violet, I received more inspiration and support, than a hundred therapy puppies could provide. During my treatments, I was their part-time caregiver, and, as I should clarify, they became my caregivers as well.
Cancer is not only life defining, it causes you to redefine life. Priorities change dramatically. Hence, the love of my family and friends will never go unappreciated again. So, take hold of those who love you, especially the little ones. The healing powers of their love will never fail to astound you.
My Valentines, your love helped give your old bachelor uncle some extra time. I love thee beyond infinity.
Your Uncle Kimmy

Look at me
tell me
what do you see
is it something
that you want
is it something
that you need
Look at me
tell me
do you believe
if you wish
to be free
from past
misery's
to be
with a soul
who's willing
to set you free
from your cage
of maybe
one day
then stay
With Me
tell me
what do you see
is it something
that you want
is it something
that you need
Look at me
tell me

if you wish
to be free

misery's
to be
