Poet Introduction
I'm not for everyone.
Love & Tell
It started with a “slow spiral”
You gave me joy, bliss
And all we did was kiss
You flew here
All the way … here
For a week
Just to kiss me
And make me laugh harder than I ever have
Oh, and to love me
Thank you
Even though it ended badly
(very badly)
You were worth it
You gave me joy, bliss
And all we did was kiss
You flew here
All the way … here
For a week
Just to kiss me
And make me laugh harder than I ever have
Oh, and to love me
Thank you
Even though it ended badly
(very badly)
You were worth it

You Make Me Whole
In a world where I could be anything
I chose to be
Part of you
I chose to be
Part of you

Memoir
My memoir is my C- PTSD journey through trauma therapy and set in epistolary format. It’s not an easy read if you’re easily triggered. I have a lifetime of trauma, it’s been nonstop.

Sold For Less Than Gold
I sold my soul
For far less than it’s worth
My poverty stricken desires
Would have settled
For reciprocation
You were good about helping me
Save face
You let me make some cash
So I could buy
Some other poor fool’s love
For far less than it’s worth
My poverty stricken desires
Would have settled
For reciprocation
You were good about helping me

Some other poor fool’s love

Tipping The Tables On Her Past
Numbness wallows, a welcome gift
Once a vibrant soul, a hapless shift
Love forsaken, she couldn’t get a grip
She left her mind at the door and took a decades-long trip
Chaos ensued, she sunk further beneath
Her heart unraveled and fell off her sleeve
Her shrieks turned to wails as she fell on her knees
Gray skies darkened as her life became void of peace
Blow after blow bloodied her resolve to stay sane
Until the day she declared never again!
Underneath her armor it’s the truth that remains
Five years later she’s no longer in...

Sleepless Nights and Lost Fights
I don’t go quietly into the good night
I fall asleep within seconds
And wake up within a couple hours
Out of breath
My skin hot and damp
With thoughts of you running rampant through my mind
I don’t fall asleep again so easily
The blankets a hinderance
I can’t have anything touch my skin
I only want you touching me
I shouldn’t want you
Not you, not ever again
But you still see into my soul
When he messages me in the middle of the night
I should say no
But it’s the only way to vanquish you

Today, I Speak Me
When I emerged from the cocoon I had been sheltered in the majority of my life, nobody in my life spoke my language. I was multilingual in suffering but I might as well have been mute. I spun like a whirling dervish trying to get people to understand me. Today, I speak me. For those who don’t comprehend, I don’t translate anymore, so good fucking luck. You had your chance.

My BPD Mother
Her truth is sickness
Shame transference her specialty
A harness
A wild fire
Taking over like darkness takes over twilight
Unpredictable
Volatile
There was no harmony
Only the jagged strings of a demon symphony
Plucking my heartstrings
Chord by chord
Unraveling my sanity
Confusion a constant entity
Night terrors reflecting daymares
My screams reflected
In her coal black stare
I kept my head low
My heart wounded
My neglect a secret
I am the abortion she didn’t have
The toy discarded...

Potent Poetry
Corroded throat
Slowly closing
My screams eroding
Darkness imploding
All my schemes
Exposed
White gossamer wings
Flutter and
Flicker by
In a twilight sky
Heaven once held tightly
In a quiet sigh
Hope a whisper
In my tightly closed eyes
Every last breath caught
Between silence
And a dream once held in
Purity and grace
Tears slowly sliding
Down my face
As everything
Rusts
Slowly closing
My screams eroding
Darkness imploding
All my schemes
Exposed
White gossamer wings
Flutter and
Flicker by
In a twilight sky
Heaven once held tightly
In a quiet sigh
Hope a whisper
In my tightly closed eyes
Every last breath caught
Between silence
And a dream once held in
Purity and grace
Tears slowly sliding
Down my face
As everything
Rusts
