Menopausal Madness
You have no idea how chaotic and stressful my life has been in the last several weeks
I’m living with a passive aggressive nutjob
no more smiles or laughter
those days are over
one second she’s quiet, the next she’s crying
a minute later were having a normal conversation, the next she begins an argument
not just any argument,
screaming at the top of her lungs
something as petty as why the garbage wasn’t thrown out,
or why is there 20 dollars missing out of her wallet
clearly she forgets that she has numerous wallets throughout many different...

frigid consumption
is it fair to call anything a gift? as though it may seem so-though it could potentially be snatched away if ever "given"(apart from simply living)? the list goes on for days....
that's primarily the point; that's why some prefer detachment over advertised fantastics; because night ultimately rules the day, even when the sun shines, and the makings of an art gallery display;
"reality" is too much of a brick through the windows that-as they say "leads to the soul"- to even dare have "wildest of...

HALFWAY THERE (III) (2nd longer revision of original poem; 1-29-1997, East jetty of Flagship Hotel Pier, Galveston, TX)
i took a trolly
down to the beach
at the end of it s line
walked out to
the end of a jetty
looked out over
this vast gulf of mexicos
seemingly endless horizon
and longingly
thought to myself
with a heavy inner sigh
of momentary hopeful relief
from what little s now left of me
here at this point
of my life s present
long challenging
ongoing...

bottlecap: forbidden conversations
I'm probably going to take a beating
sharing these liquor saturated sentiments
always provided I don't wake up & chicken out
reflect & regret ever penning them
locking them in the absolutely not vault
there's a few in there...never coming up for air
but what the hell...
a bit of bottled attitude & my mind tends...to move
into some darkened cobwebby corners
touching things that slither into realms of taboo
so...let's give it a shot & kick this off
setting aside any religious beliefs
looking purely at basic humanity ...

human interaction expectations(especially in intimate relationships)....especially as an introvert
advance idealizations with the coming years; some things change-some things never will.... soul searching-an admiring trait that goes but so far depending on the who you are....
the human species altogether are nothing less than complicated; and with time.... appears to more or less grow more impatient with interactions that are face to face(at least for myself)....
trying to understand others/or more or less actually understanding others-an admiring trait to have or work at....

When It’s Beyond Fainting Spells (Seizures)
This has always been my number one concern for anyone one who suffers from this Neurological Disorder. For the patients whom I had had eh pleasure of gaining information on this condition.
It becomes a journal of triumph as well as journal of despair. Before, I delved into this diagnosed condition. I would like to extend my humbleness for the brain one who has not allowed this medical condition to deter their path in life, or for the one who had to adjust their lifestyle.

Self-Survival
I am nothing but a piece of cork, bobbing up and down in a sea of darkness
There is absolutely nothing to grab on to and remind me what started this
Unexpected solar winds often sets my mind adrift
I reach for the only line that I cared to know praying for another lift
Just like a boulder falling into still waters there's a splash followed by waves
Each ripple that tosses me about is a denial to me being saved
Farther and farther I'm being moved away from my center, your loving force
And me an abandoned ship at sea continually being blown off course ...

Within The Pages Of A Soul’s Lineage
Our naked reflections mirror the truth of one’s spirit. It’s the pivotal time in your life when you stop, turn around, and glance upon the necessities you have taken time to bring into the presence of the soul to such a point in time.
I have been blessed to have enclosed the aura of my being with great minded people alike, and associates of greater affluence and keen intellect, but is this all my essence, what my creed stands for, shouldn’t there be more to me, if all possible, on this green earth.
I am finally realizing materialistic...

Elevate Those Beautiful Chakras (Incantation)
Into the calling of the night
Where sacraments burn the candles upon the casting of dim light
Defaced divine offering unto mankind
No tears to offer when the hunger is not getting fed unto borrowed time
By the bell of the finality creed
In the window of time hallowed be thy sound
Seen the fate of holiness without the sphere of compulsion in the greed
The beautiful nakedness in the glory, coveted the offering in the absence of the seed
I have so much indoctrinated fortitude unto humanity’s mind I must...

In The Shroud Of Chaos
I’m at a loss for words
When wings are given to such beautiful young birds
In remembrance of hearing their laughter, footsteps echoed in the wind
Kindred hearts, unfulfilled dreams, aspirations, with no time to defend
The mind of Satan so freely roams
Invading subways, supermarkets, schools, and even citizens’ homes
Parents, loved ones must share in the crying of tragedy’s feast
Absence of a presence to share only hushed memories in the humbling greet
Is this God’s plan the slaughter of...
