Adieu. Alas! Adieu.
Adieu. Alas! Adieu.”
Do I always miss you?
Or do I only miss the pain?
When I give my love to you,
I know I give my love in vain.
And while I feel I can’t accuse you,
I feel I’m not the only one to blame.
Adieu. Alas! adieu.
Deep in your eyes, I saw you were weary
With that sickness you’ve learned to carry.
And I see your eyes now, that familiar stare
When I look for you, and no one is there.
The hours are empty, and I can feel their weight.
But if I filled them with your voice, would it be too late?
I can...

Adieu. Alas! adieu.
Deep in your eyes, I saw you were weary
With that sickness you’ve learned to carry.

the brown bear
The brown bear
During Yeltsin years when he sold Russia down the river
People in the west loved the brown bear
we patronized the Russian as vodka swilling village idiots.
The cuddly bear died, and a steely-eyed fox to the helm
and the Russians was no longer cuddly.
The Russian federation was no longer willing to play
the game ascribed by the western press no longer willing
to be pushed around and laughed at.
Putin, the fox, turned Russia into a modern state that has
a modern army that is powerful if stirred by the west.
Russia...

Abusive Situation. Please Help.
I don't want to set up a GoFundMe page. So, I'm going to try to earn the money to get out of a terrible, abusive situation. Here is the link to WILL, the most recent poetry collection--available on Kindle, in paperback and as a hardcover. The links to the JARS TRILOGY books as well as a couple other poetry collections are here. It goes to a good cause: Getting me the fuck out of here before something bad happens to me. At present, things have not escalated to the point of the offer of physical abuse, though he has pushed me several times in the past.

Butterflies in the Basement
It’s only when I see the pain behind someone’s eyes
knowing they have seen the same devil as I
Wondering what price they’re paying
Knowing there were no butterflies in the basement
and that it didn’t stop me from following him down
Sometimes it seems the stairway will never end
and I’ll be going down those steps forever
Because the ribbons were ripped out of my hair
and the crayons were stolen from my hand
No nightlight could brighten the darkness that was coming for me
My lilies were set on fire
and I was drawn to it like a...

Tread Carefully
Insecurity entangled in a fragile mind
His ego swells while her sense of self dies
Tensions rise as she faces double binds
Set up to fail again
she falls short in his eyes
Meek and powerless in a frail shell
Her hope dissolves as his anger climbs
Whispered apologies spill from trembling lips
Suddenly running crimson as
his hands return to his sides
Cross his fingers and hope to lie
A veil of deceit crumbling before her feet
Illusions of a joyful life begin to waver
Trail of blood pools
from disobeying...
His ego swells while her sense of self dies
Tensions rise as she faces double binds
Set up to fail again
she falls short in his eyes
Meek and powerless in a frail shell
Her hope dissolves as his anger climbs
Whispered apologies spill from trembling lips
Suddenly running crimson as
his hands return to his sides
Cross his fingers and hope to lie
A veil of deceit crumbling before her feet
Illusions of a joyful life begin to waver
Trail of blood pools

Till we meet again
Your desires worked as my night clothes
No light is bright enough to hide your shadows
I can never feel warm because you always stand close
You used me the same way as those who boiled your blood
My first was a demon, I bet you thought
But you're just like him in the eyes of a God
Your power is slipping and dropping to your feet
Look it's like you, lacking a heartbeat
It didn't take long to notice your defeat
You're a martyr who always gets mistreat
Keep...

Shelter
I wouldn't be here
if I had anywhere else to go
this place is so poverty chic
no one should ever have to pay
to live here
Yet it's still better
than a week in a motel room
with a hyperactive toddler
whose favourite toys
end up being a wardrobe
and empty kitchenette draws
I dragged the two single mattresses
into the lounge room last night
I wasn't sure I'd be able to sleep in the bedroom
without wishing I was home
and I don't want to go home
Home isn't the safe place
I imagined it...

So smart, so charming;
knew what you wanted like I!
Game brilliantly played.
I, hypnotized, fell into
predatory lies; hunted.
