The Caboose
She was on her way to the quickie mart
Picking up grape soda and some pop tarts
Would you believe she has no money
Figures, she works for a pimp named Sunny
She takes her earnings and blows it all away
Another Friday night, time to get laid
Two weeks later, Sunny is getting fed up
Time is money, she's taking a piss in a cup
Sick and tired of all the abuse
Her ass is referred to as "The Caboose"
How will she know when the time is right
Keep her in the dark, she's a fugly sight
Hopping on the train, leaving far...

Discovery
What is the true purpose of
Me
From the day I opened my eyes
Into the unknowing world
The immediate world
Mom, Dad, and Me
Like a bud
Precious and new
Timid to push forth
On a planet that is skewed
With plans for me and you
I grow as I must
Ingest and trust information
To go on and survive
To stay here
To stay alive
Then, the brutality came.
Constant like unforgiving rain
In the form of laughter and judgment
Pain
This is just a season I must endure
To...
Me

LAUGHING AT MYSELF
ME!
Every day I pause
to visit my comedy club
where I laugh at myself
out of honest reflection.
There are a lot of things
I laugh at, mostly the
dumb things I say and
the things I forget to say.
My favorite laugh comes
when I forget where
I left my keys or not
realizing I didn't set my alarm.
Then there's telling
the same person the same
story over and over not
seeing their boredom.
I don't think I'll share
the sexual laughs I
have at myself, it'll
be a tell-all...

now the eyes shall paint truth over the lying librations
ears effuse fluorescing resinous blood
their opposing jagged cochlear fringes
implodes in a nucleating collision, a
fissioning fusion-now running in an
eccentrically strewn enjambment
as streams
of absolute consciousness
forming a centric Mare Orientale
sans its
cinematic wagging wobbly
the virtual virtuous trendsetting veils
wheeling in a pretty confused ...

What I have learned
of Friends or frenemies
depends solely on actions
A friend does not manipulate emotion
to mental detriment
for personal reasons;
nor entertain rumors
or fans discordant flames;
but, listens instead—
offers alternate perspectives
creating space
for peace to breathe
Think about it this way. . .
vs -
Did you see what s/he wrote?!
Like, OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just KNOW it was about YOU
or, ME(ALL ABOUT MEEEEE)!
Or US! ...

soul beauty
it is in my silent times I grow
when the internal chatter quiets and I listen
with careful mind to what is said to me
I hear the universes imparting knowledge
child of recklessness be still and learn
on the gentle winds I gather good intentions
collecting what I lost along the way
keys of wisdom discarded
picking them up and placing them in my sacredness
jewels that will beset my crown later
it is a constant curve
in an ever changing life
expanding my horizons I continue on
my journey long
the footing...

I LOVE THE FEELING
I love the feeling
when, after peeling,
the cool air tenses
the bare skin's senses.
No embarrassment,
when others present
are doing the same,
regardless of frame.
In our birthday suits,
back to Eden roots
we are returning,
salving a yearning.
You become aware
less of being bare,
more 'being at one"
with sea, sky and sun.
It makes skinny dips
worth the two hour trips,
participating
so liberating.
Baptising in surf,
on face of the earth,
as the tide...
when, after peeling,
the cool air tenses
the bare skin's senses.
No embarrassment,
when others present
are doing the same,
regardless of frame.
In our birthday suits,
back to Eden roots
we are returning,
salving a yearning.
You become aware
less of being bare,
more 'being at one"
with sea, sky and sun.
It makes skinny dips
worth the two hour trips,
participating
so liberating.
Baptising in surf,
on face of the earth,

The beauty of it all
They say that no one is sent to you by chance or accident, for in high sight they are there to help you navigate through, the process of understanding what is life truly all about when we can connect, on a subconscious level of energy and perseverance. For sure life is about learning new things whether good or bad, yet life will teach us as it will test our strength and faith and beliefs. For sure that is life in it's finest moments of maturity and strength, and giving us the strength to continue to stand and fight, never truly giving up. For sure life is our greatest teacher about ourselves...

She's Obedient but Thinking Out of the Box
Could be my dog
Could be my wife
Could be my mistress
Could be my muse
Could be my massage therapist
Could be my dry cleaner
Could be my cardiologist
Could be
Or
?

Simple
Sharp edges gleaming,
Dancing in twilight shadows,
Passion cuts deep wounds.
Blades whisper secrets,
Glinting in forbidden light,
Desire's cold embrace.
Dancing in twilight shadows,
Passion cuts deep wounds.
Blades whisper secrets,
Glinting in forbidden light,
Desire's cold embrace.

backlash epiphany
I've not been myself
...of late
lost track of who I was
then came the flood...
everything changed
a pound of feathers
& a pound of stone
of equal weight
vastly different...
...amounts of space
enlightening
add water to the mix
rock remains solid
maintains its structure
...its size
feathers...when wet
grow cumbersome
messy
sticking to everything
illuminating
this clutter of ephemeral feathers
dusting every surface
getting...

In The Shadows...
I come to you only in whispers,
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.
Only when the moon is glowing,
Am I showing -
Myself to you...
Allowing you in -
Where secrets hide.
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.
Only when the moon is glowing,
Am I showing -
Myself to you...
Allowing you in -
Where secrets hide.
