How do you feed your fish?
As you swim in that bowl of dish
From within or on others' wish?
Splish, splash, squash, squish!
Throw your waste
On their face
Or inside the sewage base
A mud puddle
Or airborne hurdle?
Everyone has
Their tales to tell
Let the baggage pass
C'mon, life is swell!
Let's not muddle
Others peripheral view
All in all, we all stumble!
Don't be hostile
Let us all be civil!

Dreadful Dream
Immobile
You are a telegram projection, single
A singular being of warmth
cold,
all your worth
sense of existence
in a wonder of persistence
everything in one
yet nothing you are none
and not a nun
Godless
Souless
Or soulful
but just woeful
Sense of being
In the dream of seeing
Conscious tension
In momentary...

Sticky Note Reminder
Let the sunlight beam
as she folds into you
sinking in
through your skin
penetrate
to the depths
of a cold and lonely heart
Springed in
on a summer wave
as the wind
brushes through
The grass
together as one
dancing in strands
look up
then through
to see your distant future
and savor the spice of past
The present
is a gift that is life
to find little joys
such as the bird
singing an old tune
your friend of fond memories ...

Life is Like . . .
Waiting...
for you to take control...
The anticipation-
for your next move
Splayed wide open...
for you to take advantage
Ass-fucked...
HARD
(from time to time)
A give and take-
serviced in Ying and Yang
(69)
Needs a good 'ol
...breaking in
Was but a virgin...
So bleed your blood, as you will
But now...
for you to take control...

Splayed wide open...

You Know Those Thoughts (till the late a.m?) But I Should Sleep...
What if my emotions aren't real
And these are just my understanding
Of what a crisis looks like
From internet articles
Is it just
That what he said
Was always,
"No you're not"
"Stop"
Or little smart remarks
That makes me feel
Useless.
Sarcastic
Know it all
I fear I took after that
And I don't see it in me
Or that I do
What I hated so much
To others near and dear
I've seen it play through
Aren't we all just numbers
To be used and...

The White Game
I am a puzzle addict
Always Solving pieces of you
I want to put it together
and frame it
but the patterns always change
In a prism state of mind
when the lights flash my way
Shine a different shade each time
and your shadows-
Like a galaxy
in milky way-velength
Sound your jukebox my dear
I'm always ready for a surprise
Forever playing your game
with all my white willing heart.

Unwritten
The poem unwritten
are the kisses we missed
when fear
meets pen and paper
ink unspilled
tongue untwisted
as mind retracts in doubt
Overthinking
over-processing
brain strain exercise
Hands we couldn't hold
playing this game
of love-rhyme-romance
Prospecting
your thoughts and mine
which words...

The Thief That Got Away
She wears a fur coat
how it lined her dainty shoulders
beige and speckled brown
a little ragged from the dirt
Soft
and nimble steps
bold
but careful stride
swift
a decisive walk
And with all eyes on her...
Up the display
looks into the butcher's eyes
No words
but a meow
paws
on glasses a splay
Those round, hungry eyes...!
So sweet!
Yet so coy! ...

There's Chocolate in Heaven
Here lies ChocoLaaTTe
No big deal of a few molars
In the end we all rot the same
It's not because I ate too much
(chocolate)
Here I may lay
But in heaven
Most likely eating
(More chocolate)

Ever So Blessed
.
.
From the first droplets
.
of tear
.
blood
.
and sweat
You birthed
with doubts
love
and flood-
of emotions, overwhelming
Poured all
the little you had
with no others
to truly count on
fighting;
self doubt
lack of sleep
guilt,
and all that was postpartum
...

Stubborn Soldier
So tell me,
How does it feel to be ripped of your pride?
The power that defined your stride,
Now, that you've lost your government tag?
The only source of delighted brag?
There wasn't much from the beginning,
Was there?
Arrogance, such depth in personality,
Was there?
I now say farewell,
as you break, oh well.
With all those righteous lies you've tormented me with,
To karma, I left, to handle you with.
Now, you sit in your ragged chair,
no longer a...

He, Therefore
A pain in my ass,
the cure to my depression,
can't live without him.
