Bot Flies
we sit around
melatonin dreams
wondering where life will lead
pouring the fluidity of hope
into vessels of cynicism
careful to not run over the brim
through the days we collide
with disproportionate thoughts
waging battles with our warm cots
tossing ourselves into the next day
shooing bot flies from the hay
molding a new existence from this new clay
this is the welcoming of a new existence
warm or cold reception
fanfare optional to the new guests
what one person sees as hope
another...

Swallowing Our Tail
Humanity is a tear
on the verge falling,
the kind one tries not
to let go so it causes pain
in the throat.

Moving On
To ignore
new information
To ignore
the for and against
to stick
to what one believes in
is to remain
Static
in ones perceptions
like scum
upon a pond
that steals the oxygen
that is needed
for ones life

Feel it too
I don’t know what’s wrong with me
Grandpa died but I didn’t cry
I Feel the dread in other peoples eyes
Gas on pump three
double checked
Each look back I see
the stress she’s showing
The need for overtime and sleep
Her baby crying the dad said goodbye
He parted ways court didn’t help
What a surprise waking early before sunrise
raising alone tiny apartment
scratching up change
tears her apart And
knowing she’s barely making way
Customers preoccupy her days
Till worries rush by
come up...
Grandpa died but I didn’t cry
I Feel the dread in other peoples eyes
Gas on pump three
double checked
Each look back I see
the stress she’s showing
The need for overtime and sleep
Her baby crying the dad said goodbye
He parted ways court didn’t help
What a surprise waking early before sunrise
raising alone tiny apartment
scratching up change
tears her apart And
knowing she’s barely making way
Customers preoccupy her days
Till worries rush by
come up...

Good witch
On that outskirt road, away from the city.
There lives a boy, a boy with her kitty.
In the middle of the town, near the main road
That women has a house, whom everyone knows.
Everyone knows that she never talks
And if they will try she'll get frown
They call her a witch whenever she wear gown,
her eccentric behaviour has become talk of the town.
Every night, when people sleep.
She wears a magic cloak, and walk through the street.
Noone can see her, atleast this is what she thinks.
When she covers a long road in...

Bottle Up? Or Explode? NaPo 4/30
I read it over six times,
And just when I think I've gotten it right,
Higher, and higher, my shame, embarrassment, and rage, climes,
For I have yet to get it right.
I keep messing things up,
Making myself look incompetent and unintelligent,
Something's up,
That better not be all that I am, these failures better not be persistent,
For tension is already on the rise,
I don't know how much more of this I can take,
Every single action judged, I see it in their eyes,
I know there's more to me than each minor mistake,
Just, nobody sees it....

Heroes
Looking up
to your
favourite heroes
is no different
then being blind
crippled
leaning
on a crutch
for the heroes
that you
look up to
were only being
them self's
to be
no longer blind
or crippled
to throw away
your crutch
you must look up
to a hero
that which is
your self
For as a man
once said
I had a dream
to your
favourite heroes
is no different
then being blind
crippled
leaning
on a crutch
for the heroes
that you
look up to
were only being
them self's
to be
no longer blind
or crippled
to throw away
your crutch
you must look up
to a hero
that which is
your self
For as a man
once said
I had a dream

Born of Woman
To be born of woman is shared by all
the commonality is God’s resolve
still the opinions may disagree
about the nature of rough pedigree
the favored moms are acknowledged
to be ugly in all their charm
this is a lie that’s recognized
when favoritism is thus applied
opponent’s progenitors are decried
‘yo mama’ is the battle cry
sitting around the entire house
when large becomes too much
neither view has honesty
mothers are both good and bad
to state otherwise is Satan’s lie
abusing truth in mama’s life....
