Streaming
Inside each of us is a streaming service
Delivering images,sound,movies
No subscription needed
It's free for life and
Makes life for you
What's playing in your head right now?
A horror movie?
A drama perhaps?
A comedy, if you're lucky!
The service has no index or filter
You have to make that yourself.
If you don't, you accept the dross that's
delivered .....and more will be delivered.
Netflix or Mindflix
Both are the same
They are there to distract you from
your true self.

on reflection
never wanting to be anything other than
ordinarily I’d agree
but just occasionally I’d think
and then think again about something else ..

Blurr
I drink my coffee
what is it
I am drinking it for 100th time
I read my poem
blank
what is it where the joy
the high I felt yesterday
I take a walk
faces look barren
and the sky is gray
wet even though it is not raining
I meet my friend
the same conversations
my brain will find a hack
I listen to music
it is empty
what did I like about this tune yesterday
It is Thursday
and I utterly lack motivation.

Lost
You didn't die,
Just escaped a sad life
Escaped that. your trials to struggle
Were unrecognized
Still you fought valiantly to live
With strength no one could fathom to have
But when you thought your fight got you help
And let them help to let you live
They let you escape the struggles of life
Just escaped a sad life
Escaped that. your trials to struggle
Were unrecognized
Still you fought valiantly to live
With strength no one could fathom to have
But when you thought your fight got you help
And let them help to let you live
They let you escape the struggles of life

This is Me
This is me, Louise
For those who knew me
Call me Missy
Remember me
In conversations and smiles
Remember me in memories

Cat momma
Osie and Salem, my joy
After my cat babies…
Cigarettes and casinos
Classic rock and roll
Wheel of Fortune
Kohl’s, Aldi’s and The Dollar Store

Prisoner Of My Mind
Its hard to dream,
when everything is already a nightmare.
Knowing you should just give up,
throw in the towel.
Everyday life seeming like a murder trial,
your name pulled through the mud.
Just speaking somehow pollutes the already
tainted air.
No reason to fight anymore,
its hard to buck a system built to destroy you.
Just a man,
and the law of the land-
no designated survivor,
a pig to the slaughter, it seems.
Every day,
a new rule broken
cancels out the get out...
when everything is already a nightmare.
Knowing you should just give up,
throw in the towel.
Everyday life seeming like a murder trial,
your name pulled through the mud.
Just speaking somehow pollutes the already
tainted air.
No reason to fight anymore,
its hard to buck a system built to destroy you.
Just a man,
and the law of the land-
no designated survivor,
a pig to the slaughter, it seems.
Every day,
a new rule broken
cancels out the get out...

Mind
What a tricky thing a mind is!?
As accurate as a photo.
It gives you the illusion
To know the whole story.
As accurate as a photo.
It gives you the illusion

A Terrible Depth
Every beautiful surface has a terrible depth. - unknown
The mysterious formation
of pristine turquoise glaciers
in my heart.
Are the monuments of all
my cold goodbyes.
The terrible ache of the chaos of life,
broke off an island of ice
seeking the why.
The tip of the iceberg is
frozen shards of what's left behind.
Sinking voyaging thoughts
from the dark depths of my mind.
Standing there is a beautiful man
who says take my hand.
I will forever be your land.
The mysterious formation
of pristine turquoise glaciers
in my heart.
Are the monuments of all
my cold goodbyes.
The terrible ache of the chaos of life,
broke off an island of ice
seeking the why.
The tip of the iceberg is
frozen shards of what's left behind.
Sinking voyaging thoughts
from the dark depths of my mind.
Standing there is a beautiful man
who says take my hand.
I will forever be your land.

Pair of socks
As I sit here in front of you tonight
I wonder why you left without saying goodbye
Wondering how fast
In a blink of an eye, you’re gone.
There are so many things
I want to share with you
So many words
Left unsaid.
Rest now my lovely sister
I wish in heaven
There’s plenty of chocolates,
And unlimited cakes.
Coz I know
How much
You are
Addicted to sweets.
Don’t worry about us
Don’t worry about Mama and Paps
Don’t worry…
We are very much ok.
You’ll always be ...
I wonder why you left without saying goodbye

In a blink of an eye, you’re gone.

Frost kissed dew of maple leaves
with cold winds beneath a sombrero
and rains hemorrhaging on the pane
in classroom dreams with likeness
being, a piece of chalk beneath a

Daughter of Shadows III
Fearing creatures of the night
naming us evil
as reason to hate
but the real monsters live in the light
just look at the horror they have wrought
The murder of children born of the night
crying tears of agony
vengeance now my right
innocent lives now laying in blood
Listen all who call night our home,
I am the Daughter of Shadows and this is my tale of woe
In the beginning I hid in shadows
to escape the hand of man
but found much more hidden within the dark,
I found a home and fell in love
Night...
