Demons and Angels among Us~
It took me a while to go back to where the sadness started to penetrate
my very being.
It was back when I realized this world was so full of so many fucked up messes
that I couldn’t control, stop or fathom half the damn time.
Who in their right mind rapes a baby, child or adult? Who fucks an animal just because?
Torture, when did that creep into our DNA as a norm? There are people or maybe beings
let’s say that are soulless . Creeping around smothering the belief system of hope right from
the lungs of...
my very being.

Justification~
Clearing the air might be nice.
You see in your mind you justify what you did to me by saying "I loved you but wasn't in love with you".
I wish I was evil enough to post the countless times you planned a future with me.
The two of us creating a reality out of our years of dreaming.
Loving you was easy, and loving you is something you can never take from me.
Yet, there are things I won't own anymore. The anger, disappointment and betrayal after you willing shared years of laughter, love and passion.
One thing that the evil side of me...

Convicted~
Those words tore at my flesh
tearing away any last thoughts
lingering in my memory.
You stole from me...
And I never have to forgive that~
tearing away any last thoughts
lingering in my memory.
You stole from me...
And I never have to forgive that~

Not my Lie
Being told over and over again that there is freedom in letting go leaves me feeling inept again in life.
There is a space of void now that sends out a vibration to remind me of all I am not. All that I never was and how most of my love was spent on someone else’s lie.
The shadows still tease me, wanting me too take that leap of death. But I’m to numb to move. What do you do when your body is alive and your soul’s essence has been seared? I can’t go to the Dr., I’ve prayed so hard I have a spiritual hernia. Nothing takes away the ache. Not one prayer has taken...

Wisdom Keeper~
A little girl with the shell of a woman
was brought to her knees
The wind, rain, sun and moon feasted
upon the fragile skin
From the trees eyes watched
as the spirit inside fought the fear
it was then that a grizzly came forth, teeth bared
foul breath seared the soul
…and she remained
Feeling paralyzed the night turned to day
with eyes wide open a wolf was spotted
…she dropped her head and took a deep breath
He circled her…growled so deep it vibrated inside her soul
…she remained
A white...

On Exhale~
She was the Princess of Purgatory
wanting more from people and life
but never reaching out on her own.
I’d visit her there often inside the glass castle
braiding hair and brewing up dreams upon
thousands of stars…galactic sisters her and I.
There were territorial whispers saying that
she cried at night alone
…my heart broke for her, so I would inhale her pain.
Holding that breath I’d bend to kiss her good-bye
witches bones rattled as I passed through the veil to the light
…on exhale all was released, transmuted with...

Spirits Kiss~
Feeling life exude through sleeping cells was like
a kiss from the long awaited Prince.
…Awakening sensations that had slept for far too long
It’s time to absorb the magic that has swept through
every crevice over time, once gliding; now taking hold
The veil between heaven and earth is resting inside
palms ready to cast the spells of immense healing
…hands dirty and heart pure the shadows are lifted to
the skies…be gone…be gone…be gone…
(it is done) Amen
Survive with the spirit and essence of the holy ones ...
a kiss from the long awaited Prince.
…Awakening sensations that had slept for far too long

Walk with Me?
It was all the things that healed her soul
...casting the shadows of death to the light
transmuting ages of sorrow into peace
A time of gathering bits and pieces has begun
...releasing fates shadows to the original cast of players
moving with divine grace into each step taken
Walk here into this space of hope and dreams
...dance barefoot in the rain with blind abandonment
breathe in the sweet scent of the earth churned like the soul
Freedom had a price
...and she was penny poor
but here
in this space ...

From the Turning point On~with John Patrick Robbins
It's like a season and so must they all pass.
We tie ourselves down with burdens best left with another
then somehow placed upon you.
None of it is easy or becomes less in time, our shoulders slouch, the smiles fade
and we hide our pain inside the next drink or popping of some pills.
There's a reality here though, nothing can make numb feel better
or take away the ache that takes up residence through our pain.
Life has a stench to it that makes me wonder
if we are all walking the dead road of hell.
But in spite of...

All the Pretty horses~ co write with John Patrick Robbins
We ran that dream down the shore line that night.
Sat watched the lights off in the distance nothing was shared for you didn't have anything left.
And I was a memory sitting beside you in the sand that already you had allowed to be taken away with the tide.
It was time to free float, taking that deep breath in while letting the life force leave the corpse that’s been stealing breath from life for far to long.
All that defined me, every soul fragment lost on a far away dream that was in itself as empty as a tomb with timeless echos.

And no f**k was ever given~ Tracey and John Patrick Robbins
More than anything she wanted to open the windows and
scream fuck you until her lungs burned from the sin
but having seen Jesus sitting in the corner, taking a drag
from his cigarette while staring at her with those piercing
blue eyes …stopped that thought. And it faded like her soul
inside the swirls of smoke.
He leaned forward and without moving his lips he
planted the words inside her head…
“Sorry sweets…no one gives a damn anyways.”
And the devil laughed as always ready to find humor...
