So witty, yet so naive
I took her up to the roof and told her she could fly because I asked God to grant her a special aviator's license.
Did you ever hear of something so goddamn stupid?
She did it
She fell like a fucking stone
Pretty stupid, even for a girl that was an amazing poet!
She was on this site from time to time

Ode To Morrison
A black clad leather demon claiming to be the lizard king
Mr. Mojo Rising up on stage dancing in the summer rain
Doors are infinitely open to perception as he starts to sing
While young people bare witness to a world gone insane
Strange people are taking random drives in the moonlight
Ready to break on through waiting to reach the other side
A ceramic frog with a peace sign hanging over love street
While the city sleeps the truth is hidden in this soft parade
A simple ode to Morrison to reflect his influence on me
He taught me...

Edit Me? Edit You
Edit me? Edit you
with your incorrigible grammar
your misspelled lullabies
your untrue truths
as you make yourself look pretty
I've already seen who may be the real you
corrected and helped you
you and I don't need to discuss anything
creativity can be stolen or mimicked any day
creators are born
I will always sit back and watch you
warn my family
but I refuse to engage with you
sooner or later
it won’t matter to anyone what you do
that's how karma works
Perhaps you're a clever bot
the new-fangled...

Discovery
What is the true purpose of
Me
From the day I opened my eyes
Into the unknowing world
The immediate world
Mom, Dad, and Me
Like a bud
Precious and new
Timid to push forth
On a planet that is skewed
With plans for me and you
I grow as I must
Ingest and trust information
To go on and survive
To stay here
To stay alive
Then, the brutality came.
Constant like unforgiving rain
In the form of laughter and judgment
Pain
This is just a season I must endure

therapy
I write because I must
this is where I go when the world is too much
a place I can control
when I feel have no will
I push on
I pick the pen and battle demons
trapping them with the words I have written
I can only write what I'm feeling
each thought even in fantasy is laced with reality
if I'm hurting I can't cover it
it's reflected back to me in verses
if my mind is unstable
I feel safety here even in stating the outlandish
I can't communicate these things in my day to day
navigating the world is...

Stretches across borderlines
How did we get here in this moment in time when the good shall verses the evil forces, that are hell bent willing to destroy this country, over power and corruption something that has no weight when it's about human life. BUT yet it will leave behind, trails of blood stains that stretches, for miles across our borderlines. But instead we are going through some rough times. 😭 THAT by the grace of God Almighty a blessing is on the horizon, that will bring the world. 🌎 Back from the belly of the war hogs setting the stages for world war 3 😠 But instead it comes as a...

ODE TO NIZANA 1977-2023
It was in 2021
your journey with us here begun
when you first shared on DUP
your frank, straight-from-life poetry.
From high school teen and then a wife
and mother, divorcee, your life
was shared with us upon our page
with humour, sadness, fun, not rage.
I saw in you great potential
as a writer, evidential
too was the way you shared
thoughts with your daughter, you so cared.
I read the comments we exchanged
about most of the pieces ranged.
Yours to me were filled with kindness,

Sometimes I Daydream
I want to sleep next to you
Want to watch you breathe
Want to put my arm around you
I know I'll get hard
But
Ignore that
This is platonic
Unless it's not
And
We'll know if that happens...
Want to watch you breathe
Want to put my arm around you
I know I'll get hard
But
Ignore that
This is platonic
Unless it's not
And
We'll know if that happens...

Fragment of a Story
She thanked friends and family for the October anniversary wishes, never knowing
It would be their last. He would die the next August. You just can never know, when
your time is expired. You are just ash from the fires. How do you know when your
days are numbered or the fragility of your slumbers?
She burned with an agile agony. There was a strange ease to the excruciating days.
Despite them pounding through her veins. To the borderline of sane. Despair dismantling
the hostage of her brain. As she slumped against his aging grave.
And there, the...
