Daddy's Day Off
No work for me
No work for me today
I’m off work from my job
I’m off work from my home
I‘m not answering to daddy today
Not my boss
Not my wife
My feet shall be kicked up high
Remote in one hand
Beer in the other
The chatterbox shall be loud today
Sports events
Video games
Movies
My slippers shall cuddle my feet today
My pajamas shall be nice and warm
My bedroom door shall be locked up tight
I am not having any visitors tonight
My food will flow over
My beer will spill over
My headphones will...

Music Speaks
Music speaks
when words fail;
tones entwine through synapses
eliciting positive vibrations
evoking happy chemicals
Occasionally they are ominous notes
setting a scene
to keep us on edge,
pent-up for the sudden jump scare
On work days
beneath feel-good party vibes
isochronic tones
entrain the wayward brain
making tedious tasks
less of a pain
But the best music
is filled with
secret lyrical messages,
connecting heart rhythms
through time and space,
twin notes dancing in sync ...

Hardly enough time
To write anything that could be called
“poetry”
but the evening was well spent
After a solid week of
inexplicable tears, frustration,
crises of faith,
self-diagnosis with any number of
mental disorders and neurodivergences…
It was surely time to enjoy
the finer points of losing my mind,
aided by impulsive over-consumption,
tipsy and giggling,
squelching the urge to heckle the movie
that others were watching so soberly,
enjoying this absurd buzz of normalcy
when my brain feels...

Parenting Monopoly
Oh, bother.
I forgot to write a poem today.
I was busy rushing around my house -
up and down the stairs,
in and out of rooms -
on a seemingly endless cycle
of repetitive chores.
Days like this feel just like
an unproductive game of Monopoly.
Instead of properties to collect,
there were socks to match,
towels to fold
and uniforms to find.
Being pay day,
I could finally settle some accounts,
pay some bills,
and buy some essentials.
However, there is going to be...

That day, a year ago?
left my home
to reside with you.
Maybe it was Your smile
or tone of voice
gentle pat – petting
the empathy I felt
emanating from You. . .
When your eyes met mine
how lonely I felt & realized
“A” gentle touch
meant sooooo much!
Empathically knowing
you cared,
makes each daily
curiosities in this new
environment
much
more
meaningful
to me.
Sooooo BEAUTIFUL
It is...

Flare
I have sat in this same
padded-plastic bedside chair
so many times now
in different rooms and buildings.
With husband,
with son,
now with other son.
I’m learning to be at peace here,
maybe even to appreciate this time-suspended state
where the only expectation is to
be present
and wait.
Amidst curlicues of tubes and wires,
mysterious instruments with Latin names,
washable surfaces
and impersonal rounded corners,
I could easily be annoyed or alarmed
by the pounds of plastic and drugs
that...

[NaPoWriMo 2022] The Hardest Year
YEAR 2021
I cannot forget Year 2021
It was the hardest year for us
It gave us the most difficult challenge of our life
Our health were at stake
The year was a period of hospitalization, surgery and therapy for me and my husband
It drained us financially and physically
Covid 19 was the hardest to deal with
It came in October when we were about to go home to the province
After recovering from my surgery
The whole process was traumatic
I lost some pounds from taking care of my husband in the hospital

Canned Heat
21 / 30
Canned Heat
Runnin’ on empty
at least it’s how I feel
for the alphabets
in my tank
running dangerously
low
I turned to my Bourbon
for inspiration
but all I tuned into
was romantic mush ----
crap I used to spill
years ago
Downing the heat
in a can, a bottle, a glass
used to inspire anew!
Today it is only kicking
my ass & making me blue ----
causing me to delve deeper
into those years ago
I thought I had stowed
away
I must have forgotten...

Psalm of fury
What the hell are you doing?
Trying to teach me something?
Am I really such a slow learner?
You take me to such heights
and throw me in such depths
simultaneously
I’m both invincible and crushed
this weight on my shoulders
slowly killing me while making me stronger
You’ve been taunting me.
You lift me so high
to taste glimpses of a world
where I could live powerfully
with my whole heart
sing my fears and my joys
with a forest of songbirds
and be
loved
Only to toss me into a pit ...

Affably Ineluctable?

Affably Ineluctable?
Hiding behind syllables
beneath punctuation markings
without concise decibels
we draw closer
without trying to
Our manifestation upon
shared parchment
exhibits every inspiration
we unknowingly showed-off
Our neighbors noticed
though via individual
chats separately, You & me
continue to deny their
observations.
If either of us want more
ever will this
come to light
unless both of us
during a drunken evening
fall from restraint ...

Brain Weather
There are meteorological systems within my head
which I am powerless to change
Some days bring bright clear sunshine
comfortable temperatures
where clarity is the name of the game
Actions and ideas can be seen
clinging to each blade of grass
like dewdrops of possibility
Other days, a storm of sleet and rain
pummels my brain
drowning out all reasonable thoughts
leaving them cold
angry and gasping
dripping with fatigue
Oh, those glorious intense days
when a windstorm of manic energy
pushes...
which I am powerless to change
Some days bring bright clear sunshine
comfortable temperatures
where clarity is the name of the game
Actions and ideas can be seen
clinging to each blade of grass
like dewdrops of possibility
Other days, a storm of sleet and rain
pummels my brain
drowning out all reasonable thoughts

angry and gasping
dripping with fatigue
Oh, those glorious intense days

There’s been summers before this one a comin’
though I can only remember the heat
After all, these came to me before after I met
the sea
Long before I KNEW me
I’d been aware of higher beings
& an untouchable, intangible
Destiny
I am traces of celestial dust
sand and sea
definitely
You and me
Human beings
We
There have been summers
I’ve known all too well
Focused on my discomfort
I lost sense of a creator
