When I Die
The darkness came, and covered her soul
She spoke of it often, about letting it in from the cold
About the sounds it made
Pulling its sword and its blade
From its shadowy side
And so her world went up in flames
Consuming her skin and hands
Her body lifted from the floor
Into the ashes that would feed the core
Of the cherry tree we’ll plant next door
She’ll forever weep in the rain and snow
And reach with blossoms to the floor
Endlessly a part
Of everything it will live for
In that darkness we’ll speak, brush aside...
She spoke of it often, about letting it in from the cold
About the sounds it made
Pulling its sword and its blade
From its shadowy side
And so her world went up in flames
Consuming her skin and hands
Her body lifted from the floor
Into the ashes that would feed the core
Of the cherry tree we’ll plant next door
She’ll forever weep in the rain and snow
And reach with blossoms to the floor
Endlessly a part
Of everything it will live for
In that darkness we’ll speak, brush aside...

Comma
Our finite timelines are likening to train tracks
stretching from onset to finality –
only to board another train
be it a spiritual destination
or a chance to start anew
I’ve made many (too many, maybe)
an unscheduled stop
distracted by the ado of bright lights
flim-flam artisans shouting
from their mobile homes,
street corners, as well
Some stops were brief
others felt like an extended binge
yet others, due to my...

this is a dying poem
we can only hope
the mess
calling themselves
your parents, mentioned
that you're dying
yes, we all end up dead
some people
stay married through it
others don't
some do it
holding hands with love
others never experience
the emotion
there will be those
who dance through it
while many will
never have heard
the music
move their body
you'll find the types ...

FOR YOUR LOVE MOTHER
I would like to take sometime to reflect on this day of rest and relaxation, and talk about how this piece of liquid gold unfolds. From the many memories so dear to our hearts and minds, yet provoking each of us to look back and remember, for on this day we are both very bless and thankful to our MOTHERS. As we give thanks for the support and encouragement and empowerment, along with the many levels of lessons that we have received, from our MOTHERS over the years of our lives. But yet there are many of us who have lost their mother. During the process of us having to say goodbye in our...

Roses Are Bled (Haiku)
A rose with a thorn
Tears bleed, at looming death knolls
For whom the bell tolls

Built In
when we’re
out of ideas
we’re dead
most of our lives
are spent
being
dead
or not
yet born
spending
time
in vague
regret
or vague
hope
that
something
will
come along
to make us
feel
connected
wanted
loved
waiting for
completion
when it is already
built in
death built in
to life
we’re dead
before we begin

Witch Like Me
You have this image
In your head
Of what you think I should
Look like
Of what you think I should
Be like
But I’m going to crash your thoughts
Destroy your ideas, the idea
That I must summon from the deep
Tear down the hands
That think I will infiltrate those who
Don’t agree
With me
I’m going to
Ravage the parts of your brain
That think I paint my face
With blood and rain
That think I’ll sit back
And say nothing
While you tie me up tight
You have this image
In your head ...
In your head
Of what you think I should
Look like
Of what you think I should
Be like
But I’m going to crash your thoughts
Destroy your ideas, the idea
That I must summon from the deep
Tear down the hands
That think I will infiltrate those who
Don’t agree
With me
I’m going to
Ravage the parts of your brain
That think I paint my face
With blood and rain
That think I’ll sit back
And say nothing
While you tie me up tight
You have this image

Seadog
The old seadog
Swings
To, and fro
Nowhere to live
And nowhere to go
The sails are now set
Screaming Banshee's
Ill met
Civilisation
Is just
So so

The Angle of Incidence
The Angle of Incidence
An experience,
However
Temporarily
Escaping
The daily
Run
Of the mill
Routine,
May
Feel
Well
Worth it
If the angle
Of incidence
Covers
The gap
Between
The unnumbed
Reality
Of stark living
And that
Pounding
Sense
Of mindless
Security
That
Comes
In the wake
Of turning
Off
The accountability
For the life
Someone
Seems
To have made
For...

chopsticks on the living and dying of things
I
I saw an advert for teardrop shaped caskets
where coroners break one’s rigor mortis
to fold them back into foetal position
plant them with a seed
and let nutrients
from the decaying carbon
feed a tree that will go on to help us breathe
I thought that in itself was poetry
how we’re born of seeds
and to seeds, roots, limbs, leaves
we may be fed
I love -- that there’s no choosing
whether to enrich this nest of ours
in whose familiarity we will never again
drink or be...

"real life"
like one big video game, or casino; a game of chance, a game of "wits", a series of games to get bored with quick....the "goal" or "purpose" to come up "rich"
some really take this serious.... I tend to go to sleep on it; because it takes more than it gives, your time that is....
and don't forget, it's filled with plenty tricks & nits to pick; some people need someone to rip; for peace sakes man, just let me live....
a cycle of the same ol ish; where is the place to dip from this....

The rock. The hard place. The jagged horizon.
All I know now
Is that however brutal
It might get here,
I can never go back.
Not there.
Should I ever return
To that place
All of this
Will have to be done again
And it has almost killed me
So many times
I am still surprised
When I catch myself
smiling.
Is that however brutal
