Blood In The Ground
Perhaps poetry is dying
beneath this stagnated air
perhaps we’re all tangled
in this wave of fate
Tears of blood
smeared in purple hues
bruised and betrayed
by friends and poe
Skinned and hung
dark side of the moon
where gloom oversteps
blooming death next door
Even scarecrows hide
appalled by the night
and carnivores tongues
lap unfaithful light
Pious and hypocrites
knee sunk in muck
mocking the Word
Vein’d of true blood
Vigilant rains pound ...

Congratulations Querida!
A dedication as a proud aunt for my niece Sierra.
Congratulations to my brilliant and beautiful niece on her college graduation!
Dean's List and President of her Sorority. Many sorority sisters from around the nation flew in to celebrate her exit. How wonderful it was to see how many lives she's impacted more than mine.
These simple words cannot express the joy I feel for her and how her hard work paid off. She made it look effortless, but it's because she takes challenges and winks at it.
I also want to congratulate Sierra's mom, my sister, for an...

Christmas Card to YOU
The holiday season has always been a busy time of the year but I've always taken the time to wish family and friends, the love and joy by sending Christmas cards with a handwritten message of what they've meant to me throughout the year.
This year I've been blessed on many levels. I would like to send best wishes to all my DU friends and supporters for your kindness
throughout the year. ; )
You've been my eyes, ears, wisdom and strength. Reading my frustrations, dedications, desires and experiences. Allowing me into your minds and hearts, tickling me with...

Toast to You
I'm in a deep move
swaying around the room
to the twinkle of lights
my holiday surprise
warm apples, cinnamon and pumpkin pie
dance of sugar plums
a celebration of seasons
with my ladies tonight.
A salute to the sisterhood
bruised blossoms renewed
remnants mended from tales
pulled by undertow beneath veils
in a sea of darkness groping for light
searching for honesty and truth
in a deceptive world
when all hope is gone.

Painted City
They say Summer has come to an end but some things keep on lingering with an acute reminder that time is a linear notion.
Naked, painted women were everywhere in Times Square, displaying their bodies in the name of “Art” and “Female Empowerment”, shedding clothes and with it, inhibitions.
The crowds were entertained as well as bemused with the idea of freedom of speech. More importantly, the abuse of it by some who clearly were not there for a good cause or raising awareness for well intended non-profit organizations. From prostitutes joining for solicitation of...

The Wordsmith
We entrusted sorrows awakening spirits
breathing rhythm beyond any verse, etched
in mortal world to the gleam of diamonds
glittering to Prometheus' heaven
Patchwork of hearts glowed with miracles
brushed with grace and tender strokes
unfurling tapestry dappled with splinters
beneath maelstroms of tears and laughter
Bind with trust, reflecting northern lights
golden memories merged celebrating life
cradling pains from solitary depths of
iridescent pearls, offerings of salts
From seven fulsome seas, brimming
with...

Freak On a Leash
Nothing but a chameleon
in a souless, heartless
carcass
Cry me a river
Burn
Burn
Burn
Hell is where you reside
a creation of your own
in a souless, heartless
carcass
Cry me a river
Burn
