Poet Introduction
I'm steadily learning while slowly gaining moving ever forward one step at a time👣
Dearest Friend,
I came to you the hour I was in despair, Looking for answers, I cried in pain. I shared many skeletons hiding in my heart. It was then I knew you'd be my friend. I knew it from the start. Troubles ran like river's, flowing thru my life. You picked up the pieces and helped me thru my strife. When home wasn't home to me no more, you unlocked your heart and handed over the key's. We cried past the night until dawn's first light. We soothed each other's pain while sharing our many thorns. ...

sinisterpenz... INTRIGUED... By you, sinisterpenz, I'm intrigued, " new to writing, old in the soul." You sound like my cup of tea or two! In your writing, I've read, your mind is rare. But dude, your profile pic, no disrespect intended, it would give even the jaded, the shudders! Your spelling and punctuation, in your poem's of few, makes me wonder, if it's intended by you, for more power effect or a spit in the world's eye of view. I'm intrigued by you, your...

Dear Daddy,
Dear Daddy, It's been bout a year since you've called, and bout six month's since I've called. I think our game of pretend has finally played itself out. I long to be honest with you, you've never broken me, none of you have. You simply fractured my mind into a fierce army of 4+1. I despise you and, strangely enough, love you as well. I don't allow it to burn to ash everything around me. I am at peace with these warring feelings. My soul is...

EYE'S WIDE OPEN
Cancer, a sickness or illness?
You pray, beg and plead, oh Heavily Father, oh please no, why? Heart attack, a sickness or illness? On your knees, head
bowed? Crying out, dear Heavenly Father, please just one more chance, please say it's not my time, please Heavenly Father, oh please. Multiplicity, bipolar, a sickness or illness? Fervently writing, pouring heart and soul on pristine page's, weary and exhausted, silently weeping praying for salvation, oh Heavenly Father, please give me strength, please, oh please....

FOUR + ONE
Who is she? Who am I? Who are we? We are the deepest, purest form of insanity. We are an army of four + one. ICE runs in her veins, without mercy, this gatekeeper stands guard over all. KAT, graceful, silently stalking guarded whispers, she stands forever on guard. CHERRY are her cheeks, ripe with curiosity and flirtation. Able to out drink man or beast. Forever standing guard. SPOOK, Forever a child, holds all our pain within, easy to spook,...

WINTER'S COMING...
Winter's coming, a season to be dreadfully feared. Cold, dismal and painful, it's darkness toys with my sanity. Short dreary days, my night's, a never-ending abyss. Faded memories come alive, screeching and screaming. My body's achingly burning, locking joints in place. Fibromyalgia and arthritis wreaking havoc, turning me into frankenstina. A kind, gentle spirit, except when winter comes, be prepared to run. I get mean, not grumpy, downright. fucking. mean....

IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL...
Imagine, if you will, a safe, secluded paradise. Cooling sands in the palest shades of sapphire. Spanning the shores as far as the eye can see. Imagine, if you will, gentle, bubbling seas. Tepid seas in the deepest shades of amethyst. Gently lapping at the serene shores. Imagine, if you will, the sun slowly awakening. Warming the shores and seas in delicate shades of rose. ...

MOTHER DEAR
Steamy mirrors, soft flickering candlelight.〰 Gently splashing water, completely unaware.〰 maybe tonight mother dear, maybe tonight.〰〰〰 Eerie silence, my footsteps quietly whispered close.〰 A glimmer of sharpness glowed in the fading light.〰 maybe tonight, mother dear, maybe tonight.〰〰〰 Warm bubbles flowing over ivory skin.〰...

PAGE'S
Sexually abused, mental fuckery rained upon my brain, physical assaults daily, bruising my tiny frame. My page's can't be unwritten. 〰〰〰 Ruled by heavy fists, nearly destroyed by devastating mind games. Kicked and body slammed by a drunken salesman on a rant. His page's can't be unwritten. 〰〰〰 Some say fate, some, Destiny, other's, well, no way in hell. Who really knows, 'ol blue eyes and I, well, we figured, soulmates....

SECRETS...
Vile, haunting, secrets of you and me, never meant to be spoken, cruel, wretched secrets of you and me. So very, very young, my lord, what have you done, secrets of you and me. Secrets I whisper to chosen few, secrets of you and me. Shame, guilt, heartbreak, inflicted by secrets of you and me. Have you no soul, creating secrets of you and me? Brutal, evil, hateful secrets of you and me. Chilling, lost, filled with secrets of you and me....
