Not Meant for Me
Romance has not been meant for me
Since the days that my love was taken from me
When the world decided he couldn’t be with me
And my life crashed around me
I wandered in my mind aimlessly
I couldn’t see past my heart’s new vacancy
My fortress was constructed painfully
Becoming debaucherous my new specialty
The earth traveled the sun ever so faithfully
Over time I found myself living out my wildest fantasies
With little emotion I used men salaciously
Some would say I lived life too shamefully ...
Since the days that my love was taken from me
When the world decided he couldn’t be with me
And my life crashed around me
I wandered in my mind aimlessly
I couldn’t see past my heart’s new vacancy
My fortress was constructed painfully
Becoming debaucherous my new specialty
The earth traveled the sun ever so faithfully
Over time I found myself living out my wildest fantasies
With little emotion I used men salaciously
Some would say I lived life too shamefully ...

The Train Kept A Rollin
A teenage girl somewhere anywhere was busy text messaging friends on her cell phone a month ago.
She was walking along a set of railroad tracks.
Although deaf since birth, she had frequently proclaimed that she could avoid danger more easily then hearing people.
She was much more sensitive to vibrations, especially from approaching trains and those roaring train whistles.
She was wrong.
She was mangled beyond recognition.
They were able to identify the body, since her i-phone survived the collision.

This Strange World
Would be much more interesting
If hell really did freeze over
If even for a day
No bats could make
Their way out of hell
And we could watch donkeys
Fly high up in the sky
There would be
some sadness, too
If all who said
"Well, I'll be damned!"
Really were subjected
To a horrendous life
In no other place than hell
Your imagination can
Be a blessing or
Sometimes even a curse
So remember when life
Seems at it's strangest
It could...
If hell really did freeze over
If even for a day
No bats could make

Fly high up in the sky

Really were subjected
To a horrendous life
In no other place than hell

Sometimes even a curse

A THOUSAND APOLOGIES
PLEASE
It's not about
right or wrong,
or contextual
clarity or the
projection of
metaphorical expressions
missing being understood.
It's not a
matter of semantics
or who said what...
it's about apologies
and a new invitation
to dialogue and
build on pluses...
this is a kneeling request
from an aching soul.
Okay?

Live While You Are Alive
Live with the vigor
Like death's breath shivers your neck.
Passion collects debt.
Like death's breath shivers your neck.
Passion collects debt.

melancholy's child
sorrow in melancholy hues
rains gently within my soul
filling little indigo pools of sadness
I sit and reflect on this stillness of being
solemnly I collect my thoughts
and write them down in my diary of pain
within pages of memory, my heart awakens
to feel again...
after the emptiness took hold
tiny flowers of regret
bloom in my shade
I look at them fondly
they prove I'm alive
I ached over the years
but no tears kissed my face
not in touch with my emotions
my melancholy lake was frozen ...
rains gently within my soul
filling little indigo pools of sadness
I sit and reflect on this stillness of being
solemnly I collect my thoughts
and write them down in my diary of pain
within pages of memory, my heart awakens
to feel again...
after the emptiness took hold
tiny flowers of regret
bloom in my shade
I look at them fondly
they prove I'm alive
I ached over the years
but no tears kissed my face
not in touch with my emotions

Under The Mercury Moon
a token shared;
I read into
the sentiment
...was it from you?
or had I given this freely
only to be returned?
an Irish blessing
upon a medallion
the message is clear but
I can’t exactly remember
some too many years ago
even a decade longer
since I knew your love
and we were stronger
you’ve returned to me
an art collection
I gathered back then
still, no recollection
did you place it here
intentionally?
or is the message rejection ...

Why do I Write ?
The notion of pens and paper in my pocket strikes a chord.
When I first started writing I actually carried a small pad and wrote long hand.
Then with some praise from fellow DUP members the poems came fast and furious.
There was no time for long hand, it was anything electronic to do the deed.
But why was I writing?
I was encouraged by a nephew who thought I should write.
He thought novel, I thought narrative poems.
The rest is history ...
There have been close to 1900 poems since autumn of 2013.
Not including the 700 I deleted for...

what did you do to keep sane...
2020 was a game changer
in so many ways
people lost jobs...homes...loved ones
addictions developed...grew...blew up
as did the world...every direction violence erupts...
times are no longer what they were once
overnight silence became deafening
so loud it overwhelmed
no more time face to face...
...everyone locked away
...life in solitary confinement...
as streets became emptied
and nature tentativlely unfurled...
hesitant to step out of safe havens
into human-occuppied places
...surreal became normal...

Casablanca City
Casablanca, the economic capital,
A city of grandeur and diversity,
Where modernity meets tradition,
A tapestry woven with remarkable landmarks.
Morocco Mall, Anfa Place, Tashfin Tower,
Twin Center standing tall and proud,
Symbols of progress and ambition,
Defining the city's skyline.
The largest road station and bustling Marina,
Connecting journeys, embracing the sea,
Guiding wanderers with a smile,
A warmth in the hearts of those who reside.
Africa's largest mosque stands with grace,

School Shoes
I stood alone In a world of laughter
friends playful glee at my bare feet
my eyes fixed envious on my friends
flaunting their gleaming school shoes
they laughed at my bare feet
as tears streamed down my face
everyday as I walked to school
it was a lonely place
teachers turned a blind eye
knowing my family didn't care
if we were schooled or not
if shoes be the caveat, stay home
my classmates laughed and demeaned
sometimes stamping on my bare toes
school was important to me for the books
so I sobbed...
friends playful glee at my bare feet

Transitions
Change is inevitable
It is one of the few things we are guaranteed in life
As times goes by and we grow old
So too must our minds
Accepting the rules of the universe
Transitions should not cause us despair
They can be foundations of inner strength
Teaching us to be flexible and adaptable
Giving us a more depth look into our existence
The human experience is filled with quick turns
It can go from joy to misfortune in an instant
Because in the ebb and flow of life
There are constant variations
And if we...
