What Others Sometimes See (but never speak)
She seems so very timid
And easy to destroy
Until you dare gaze
Into the maelstrom
Of her fire-breathing eyes...
And easy to destroy

This is not a Poem...
I eroded to the conclusion
Aeons and moments ago
That I am not now
Nor shall I ever be
For the faint of heart
Nor weak of spirit...
Needless to say
And for good reason
I can oftentimes
Be found reading
Your World as my book
Seemingly alone...
This is my pennance
A price I pay willing
For the preservation
Of your so called sanity
As what may have been mine
So long ago absconded...
Leaving me whole and free
To travel strange mindscapes
To see as you cannot
To feel...

Lack
Sitting on my porch
Listening to rain
Pounding on metal
It leaks and pools dirty
As does everything
Dark Down Here
Deep in this gutter
Of sadness and fear
Of striving to rise
Of failing to meet
Of pondering questions
With answers not easy
Like how to live well
Treading foul offal
On the scraps
Of lower caste
Society?

Momhood 101
I was so very afraid
To tell her NO!
Afraid she'd rave
And rant and cave
My heart in with her
Discontented glares
Of mass destruction
So I put it off
Agonizing
Til the very last moment
Only to discover
In those beautiful eyes
An underwhelming understanding
Bejeweled by a whimsical smile
As if she knew
All the while
The answer should be NO!
And was glad I cared
To finally join her....
To tell her NO!
Afraid she'd rave
And rant and cave
My heart in with her
Discontented glares
Of mass destruction
So I put it off
Agonizing
Til the very last moment
Only to discover
In those beautiful eyes
An underwhelming understanding
Bejeweled by a whimsical smile
As if she knew
All the while
The answer should be NO!
And was glad I cared
To finally join her....

The Tether
There lies an anchor
Somewhere buried In my core
It hangs there precarious
Awaiting that last burden
That will lastly cast it free
Sending its wake ripping
Through many waves and currents
Disintegrating fully
What is left of me
...And so I sometimes tug
On that tender cord
That binds me all together...
Somewhere buried In my core
It hangs there precarious
Awaiting that last burden
That will lastly cast it free
Sending its wake ripping
Through many waves and currents
Disintegrating fully
What is left of me
...And so I sometimes tug
On that tender cord
That binds me all together...

Ode Sombre
All aspects of Darkness
Beguile the wretched
Those silkened shadows
From which wispering hands
That creep unseen
Alas carress the waiting skin
Seducing one to question
Both existence and intention
Of phantoms concealed
Amongst the purpled obscurities
Of the unknown
Of our Beloved
Darkeness
Beguile the wretched
Those silkened shadows
From which wispering hands
That creep unseen
Alas carress the waiting skin
Seducing one to question
Both existence and intention
Of phantoms concealed
Amongst the purpled obscurities
Of the unknown
Of our Beloved
Darkeness

What I Should Be
To meet a certain someone
To greet them warmly
To keenly explore them
To enter the abyss of their eyes
To seek the demon lurking
To eat the seething tumor
To heal the wound
To cast it out
This was my calling
From the lips of Kali
To greet them warmly
To keenly explore them
To enter the abyss of their eyes
To seek the demon lurking
To eat the seething tumor
To heal the wound
To cast it out
This was my calling
From the lips of Kali

Gossamered
I feel the chains
I cannot see
Sticky tendrils
Redundancy
Cursed to live
A life not life
Regurgitating
Expectancy
Dreams now ghosts
In tethered web
Envenomated
Complacency
I cannot see
Sticky tendrils
Redundancy
Cursed to live
A life not life
Regurgitating
Expectancy
Dreams now ghosts
In tethered web
Envenomated
Complacency

Tree Tanka
Lithe pollard trembled
Accosted by savage gale
Stood scarcely stunted
Neath life forces that assail
As this tree do I prevail
Accosted by savage gale
Stood scarcely stunted
Neath life forces that assail
As this tree do I prevail

Hestia
She made a home for them
Within the softened creavases
Of deep within her being
Far beneath the thickly crusted mantle
Of her teeming exterior
Far above the feelingless droning
Of relentless reality
She made a home for them
...and then they destroyed it...
Within the softened creavases
Of deep within her being
Far beneath the thickly crusted mantle
Of her teeming exterior
Far above the feelingless droning
Of relentless reality
She made a home for them
...and then they destroyed it...
