the ledge & the one who sees you....
timing is everything.... especially for those whoms heart and mind are critically in the balance....
all is not lost until all is lost; hanging on for dear life with thoughts contemplating if living's actually worth the cost....
everyone's not fueled the same; everyone does not view this experience as the "same game"....
the lack there of or absence of face to face interaction; compassion; the ledge and the one who "sees you" there.... before the "jump" happens (figurtively speaking....)

death of time
those classically
trained minutes,
packaged
waiting
in our room,
gasping for air
for each moment
of life.
the world
outside
our window
are peering in,
their eyes
glazed over
in a desperate
madness
with their
insolence manners.
trusting no one,
caring
for nothing,
they
gather
the minutes up,
now helplessly,
the lost whispers
of time
are choked slowly,
the hours
weep,
pacing
back and forth ...

I know you don't understand me and the things that I do
I shouldn't be judged upon for the things you only assume
My reactions and how I respond to things may be different then your way
But you can't decide and expect me to respond in a way you say I should behave
My life I've lived was different than yours
I've experienced many things through my years
Which has shaped and molded me
By my blood sweat and tears
I wear my battle scares with pride
Which you don't understand
I'm not ashamed of walking through hell and back equiped with a...

Healed By A Broken Heart
Are we choosing our battles?
Or just living in fear of conflict
Tip toeing around fragile instabilities
Hostage to trigger hearts and serving their hostilities
We call this living but are we lying to ourselves
Working towards heaven as we tolerate our weekday hells
Going through the motions
Adapt to our dysfunctions of routine
We've got our own devotions
Pursuing separate ends of relative means
Insatiably craving happiness when it's always what remains to be seen
To attain the lives, we thought we wanted
Well I...

Unwanted Children
Collective statement
To abortion anilating prolifers
Climate crisis
Magnitude near ten
On Richter scale.
People, babies, children
Elderly and inbetwizters,
Mother Gaia, tired and taxed
Can no longer
Sustain increasing population
Starvation everywhere
Rampant homelessness
In the riotous streets.
We, the Unwanted Children
Birthed into existence
From the canals
Of ancient seedlings
Propose that,
Since...
You made decision to pass
Judgement, to condemn us
Then...
You be...

a bit of spring cleaning. (a stream of consciousness extravaganza)
My brow furrows
I don't get it
(I never quite get it!.)
The promise of sunshine
of tomorrow's hopes
Always, it seems—
it's tomorrow.
When sometimes all I really need
is a little bit of today
There's timing
and how it's never right.
is it ever?
Friends, families
Those pressures
so uniquely difficult
putting upon
pressing down
and forever changing.
Hours spent trying to reconcile
Logistics and specifics,
it all equals less sleep ...

Accusation's Praise
On the offense in my mind
My heart is under residual attack
Trying to find a way to shift my paradigm
And gain some sense of solace back
I feel the weight of life
Price gouging my lungs for every breath of air
As I go under the knife
I dissect every thought to be displayed in a gallery of prayer
Musings of a bitter reminisce
I speak blessing in place of every curse that I dismiss
To repeal the dead affection of a betrayer’s kiss
Speaking words of life in place of every word of death that I resist
And yet such pain...

a longing that some how still exists
a longing still exists; for locked eyes, and a gentle kiss; soft skin, to cuddle with....
away from the wars outside the doors; there's nothing that I'd long for more....
than to feel other than the skin one's in; from infactuation to passionate....
to be not as much in one's mind as one has been; turned all the way on, from a cute grin....
loneliness feels like lung congestion; or like a lung that's missing....
though an abundance of pain from the outdoor...

Sounds of Life
in the distance
beat the sound of surrender
a cool call to choices/directions
a bit jagged
that have come undone
light flashed through the clouds
of December's dusk
inviting in dreams
of another time
waking in fields of magnolia
he licked the lips of life
reminicient of summer
and sweet strawberry wine
a warm caresses of love
whispering happiness
a peach glow happened upon the horizon
troubles washed away the rocky shore
beat the sound of surrender
a cool call to choices/directions
a bit jagged
that have come undone
light flashed through the clouds
of December's dusk
inviting in dreams
of another time
waking in fields of magnolia
he licked the lips of life
reminicient of summer
and sweet strawberry wine
a warm caresses of love
whispering happiness
a peach glow happened upon the horizon
troubles washed away the rocky shore
