painting the moment
the doors slams
.you are gone
.
the air falls to
the floor defeated
and the roses on
the table can no
longer laugh

Liabilities
Bill Burr has billionaires dead to rights, because of eminent domain logic.
Is not justifiable homicide, justifiable, because of the ascertained risk to the community?

“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.”

we make new names for old Gods
The evening sky blushes through my window
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky
We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all
between twilight and darkness we lie, looking out
waiting for the stars through the
leafy silhouettes of palm tress
I try to teach you all the names
of the creeping constellations
but you make up your own
giggling into the deepening sky
We are so small under the burning tendrils of light
and so blessed to see them, and name them at all

sparkly unicorn boy
I'm the mother
of a sparkly unicorn child
most days he wakes up
with a giggle on his lips
and asks for tickles
He dresses
like a rainbow exploded
and fell into the shape of clothes
over his body
I don't always tell everyone
he's a boy
so if they make gender assumptions
I generally let it slide
I don't know what opinion
a random Uber driver
or parent at the park
might have about
a sparkly unicorn boy
and how their own biases
might fight to dim his spark
Even...

Not Lost
When a scream betrays secrets
and demons swallow the night
never doubt the love of life
still shines forever in your heart
Be braver
brave enough to drag
bold fragments of your soul
through ruin of despair
to find another
then another breath
as effortless as time
embracing cold certainty
straddling the hour
until warmth of expectation
bestows forgiveness
so that peace may once more flourish
feeding hope
to nourish dawn's new light
and demons swallow the night
never doubt the love of life
still shines forever in your heart
Be braver
brave enough to drag
bold fragments of your soul
through ruin of despair
to find another
then another breath
as effortless as time
embracing cold certainty
straddling the hour
until warmth of expectation
bestows forgiveness
so that peace may once more flourish
feeding hope
to nourish dawn's new light

Attention
When women give me looks,
And come in bitchy at me for no reason,
I laugh.
Because all the guys watch me.
And give me attention.
And enjoy how I don't give a shit,
What other women think.
So I shake my titties,
And put on a show.
Because I actually have titties,
Unlike some people.
Ha!
And come in bitchy at me for no reason,
I laugh.
Because all the guys watch me.
And give me attention.
And enjoy how I don't give a shit,
What other women think.
So I shake my titties,
And put on a show.
Because I actually have titties,
Unlike some people.
Ha!

Relationships are dying
It breaks my heart to say
We will never feel love the same way
That 80's-90's love, you are longing for
Resides in your mind only, there are no suitors
Your romantic partner, has his own agenda
Once he gets what he wants, it's sayonara
Your ride or die
Became ride and bye
Stages of romance, don't go past the flirt
Efforts stop at pulling up your skirt
True relations have lost their luster
Selfishness became the master
If you are born GenX, it's not hard to see
What was once experienced is now meant to flee ...

Dead in the Water
Since these illegals are being sent back
The motherfuckas have the nerve of being mad at the blacks,
“Understand this illegal bitches we really don’t care
It’s on that same level as unwanted shit-stains in underwear,
“Blacks to the white man served them as slaves
Only considered property and treated like an animal in a cage,
“And like a limp dick many were left to hang
As punishment or enjoyment without remorse or shame,
“Realize to all immigrant motherfuckas-black blood is the foundation
For many to...

The Net
Majestically spanning San Francisco and Sausalito
stands one of the world's most famous landmarks
and one of the world's most utilized final stops
Who are these infrequent flyers?
These sad and lonely diers?
Students
Teachers (believe me, I get it)
the jilted, the lonely, the ill
so many reasons
always one less
than reasons to live
Recently, a safety net was added
285 feet in the sky
Taxpayers are arguing about it
It's a concept they just don't get
calling it a waste of their money
to save just...

Valentine's day
How on earth did Valentine's day evolve from ancient Roman traditions and the martyrdom of priest Valentine, to a celebration of romantic love?
It is such a mystery to me...
Never cared for it really, all this rehearsed staged display of a more modern tradition, born thousands of years ago from an execution.
Kind of changes the perspective of it doesn't it?
Besides, should'nt love be celebrated year round?
For what it's worth, happy Valentine's day...

Love does not pay the bills
Why are women labelled as shallow when they mary for financial stability?
The men that cry out for gold diggers are the same ones that benefit from these women settling...
Cause lets face it guys, most men don't own a mantion or posess a collection of luxury cars.
So when you find yourself crying out for injustice, think of this:
Did you mary for love or did you do it for all the benefits you could get from this partership?
At the end of the day, Love will not save you when your marriage falls appart, but money will...

In Dark's Franchise - with Deliabear
Stolen shadows of the night,
Bestow on my brain a more familiar fright.
With tip of the pen in the dark's franchise
Often just narcistic puppets of moral decay,
Polluting my sonnets, ranting with insanity.
Alone with their Atari and eye shade.
Cutting-out gadgets for the asylum's zoo,
Taking up space in my mind's portmanteau.
Clutching your lunatic heart to squeeze your mortal juice,
Confirming you are still alive, fodder for the worms.
Echoes of your ranting, spreading your black lullaby loose.
Bestow on my brain a more familiar fright.
With tip of the pen in the dark's franchise
Often just narcistic puppets of moral decay,
Polluting my sonnets, ranting with insanity.
Alone with their Atari and eye shade.
Cutting-out gadgets for the asylum's zoo,
Taking up space in my mind's portmanteau.
Clutching your lunatic heart to squeeze your mortal juice,
Confirming you are still alive, fodder for the worms.
Echoes of your ranting, spreading your black lullaby loose.
