Not Subtle
no subtle reflections
more in your face hurricane
realising hell fire has form
honesty carries its own suffering
collective shadows bring waves of pain
so much confusion afrisesfrom darkness
addressing my worthiness to life
battles constantly fought hard
this invisible war never ending
counting against me social rules
understanding very little raises stress
buiding pressures that wont release
more in your face hurricane
realising hell fire has form
honesty carries its own suffering
collective shadows bring waves of pain
so much confusion afrisesfrom darkness
addressing my worthiness to life
battles constantly fought hard
this invisible war never ending
counting against me social rules
understanding very little raises stress
buiding pressures that wont release

belief
9 of 30
when I was at my lowest point
he asked me what I believe in
I said I didn't really know anymore & he snorted
no wonder you're such a fucking mess
you have to believe in something
do more than just exist
point taken...and yet...
since that conversation
I've done a lot of thinking on the matter
gone over in mind what feels right
as an emotional creature...I follow my instincts
I now have a partial answer...
it will expand over time...you understand...

Hate Me!
give me your blame
give me pain and I'll thank you
this burden I shoulder
tastes like fine wine,
aged by years of resentment
and I wonder how long
you've held this iron
you dig into my ribs
I wonder how long you've kept quiet
about every little thing I do
that pisses you off
this pain tastes like hand soap,
tastes like I'll need to
brush my tongue until it bleeds
just to feel worthy of love again
you are a cloud
hanging over my head
I'm so sad
so sad
so sad
and you're
so sick...

Maybe I Got It All Wrong
When passion fades
you might not see it,
but you certainly feel it
as you search for distractions,
perhaps an unexpected interaction
might be the only thing
that makes you feel visible
and it might linger with you
so you don't return
to complete insignificance
We never intend
for this to blossom
and yet it does,
painfully
in some cases
What you imagine
gives you life,
when life
is suspended
in that flat landscape
of no offered
valleys or curves
It breaks us down ...

A story of Mom and me (and you)
Just a girl in the 40s with expansive thoughts,
wearing pigtails and coke-bottle glasses --
they knew she was different; they even ran tests,
but found no diagnosis to label
a girl with a hunger and singular drive
to unpack the whole human condition.
She did it through books, for she wasn’t content
to just live her one given life.
In search of connection, the characters there
were as real as the ones in the flesh.
And though she did marriage, and children, and jobs,
it was story that held her attention.
She studied...

Let's create a Garden of Poems and Stories
not seeking hearts to captivate
respectfully choosing gentle allure
not to capture or seek or deviate
into dramas and stories for lure
not casting bait nor hitting on
anybody with false attention
I come here to listen and discern
all the lovely stories we have spun
a friend a companion to speak to
talk and write with in poetry
weaving stories about life's lived
just being together bound by arts
let's write up a garden
of love life and laughter.

Let's be Friends
acceptance of who one is
acknowledging strength and weaknesses
knowing when to be different
and knowing when to conform
embracing all in different hues
knowing that fine threads
hold everyone together in humanhood
a symphony of love and reverence
live with acceptance in gentle grace
let hearts be carried to a peaceful place
in unity and love let us stay
together in perfect harmony
acknowledging strength and weaknesses
knowing when to be different
and knowing when to conform
embracing all in different hues
knowing that fine threads
hold everyone together in humanhood
a symphony of love and reverence
live with acceptance in gentle grace
let hearts be carried to a peaceful place
in unity and love let us stay
together in perfect harmony

I Made Some Changes
I made some changes
preferring not to say 'edit'
that self important word
implying I know what I'm doing
which is funny if you know me
I made some changes
to this poem
to my life
and my outlook on living
even to my sock drawer
I have no idea
what's to come
wishing there was a user's guide
'How to write poetry in ten easy steps'
not that I'd read it anyway
I made some changes
to how I act
around mean people
or people that suck
maybe not door to door salesmen
I have no...

Love poems
the erotic love letters
sighs of desires
dreams and wishes
intangible love making
the pinnacle of desires
rubbing of skins
the moans under sheets
fragrance of love sweats
the dive into pleasure
immeasurable ecstasy
desires in entwined bodies
in absolute surrender
words rendered by creativity
written with the subject in mind
inspired by nature's muses
mirrored in collaborative writes
not for a game of chase
not even a game of chess
it's all creative poetic licence
fruits of...

Take This Pain
I'm just done
with placing too much
emphasis
on your value
of me
Suffering
the trauma
of bruised self worth
doesn't fit me
anymore
I've outgrown you
with placing too much
emphasis
on your value
of me
Suffering
the trauma
of bruised self worth
doesn't fit me
anymore
I've outgrown you

Love > Fear
And what, please tell me, is actually important?
A tangible task would make me
much
more
comfortable.
Is it
to know the names of the birds on my morning walk,
notice the springing up of crocuses
(purple hope in a season of mud)
and to rejoice in the sunrise on my face?
After all,
I am an insignificant speck –
surely this is all that can be expected of me
as I drift, unattached,
through my brief moment in the universe.
live, laugh, love….
Or is it
to...

scales of life
2 of 30
I'm tired of giving standard answers
to impertinent questions
then watching their faces
as they struggle to hide how they're assessing my worth
based on their one dimensional judgment
determining themselves to be better
...at whatever
the next time I'm asked
how much do you weigh
I'm simply going to say
I bear the weight of 20,367 days
a thousand & 1 stupid queries
countless empty smiles
when eyes show a different story
I bear the burden of so many mistakes
...the sheer...
