Just shut up and listen
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ We all have been in a situation for one reason or another, 🤨 that we let what we say cause you to act a certain way not be heard. 🤔 Whether you are wrong or right in what you think and say to someone else, I say that to say this which ever the way you may take what it is I'm about to say to you. 🤨 When you don't agree with what someone say to you, how do you respond for do you begin yelling and cursing, 😠 yet you still not listening and thinking that they are wrong, for speaking to you in a calm...

Did I Learn From It? Nope!
Don't be me!
Make the choices you THOUGHT ABOUT. Don't back out at the last moment! Don't get scared and quit or give up. Unless that is what you were thinking about! Don't be me and stick with status quo because...It's all I Knew!
When I was abused physically, emotionally, and sexually as a child - I did not speak up. I was scared to get hurt for telling so I remained and was hurt far more...but it was all I knew.
Don't be me!
I waited as a child for my mother to love me. If I had been removed I would have lost that chance at being loved. She...

Over and Over
the moment is fleeing itself,
scared of its own deflection
looking into the pond
out of the pond, siren song,
islets scattered with eyelets
shells borne of seasickness
a vessel emptied, clear glassy ides
marching towards a frail old secret
buried pleasure
of broken tongues
cooled flames of mild temper
sacrificial lamb risotto
spurned, scorned, and soured
as if you look past me, through me,
what do you see?
scared of its own deflection
looking into the pond
out of the pond, siren song,
islets scattered with eyelets
shells borne of seasickness
a vessel emptied, clear glassy ides
marching towards a frail old secret
buried pleasure
of broken tongues
cooled flames of mild temper
sacrificial lamb risotto
spurned, scorned, and soured
as if you look past me, through me,
what do you see?

Skeletons
A clattering from the closet, as the skeletons rise,
Old wounds now dancing before my eyes.
No more hiding, no more escape,
The past clings closely in sorrow’s drape.
The skeletons once silent now start to speak,
Revealing the secrets they longed to keep.
Whispering truths I dare not speak,
A vow unsaid, a silent prayer—
This endless load is my cross to bear.
With every step, they draw ever so clear,
The truth, like a storm, looms ever so near.
No longer a shadow I can flee,
But a mirror reflecting what I used to be. ...
Old wounds now dancing before my eyes.
No more hiding, no more escape,
The past clings closely in sorrow’s drape.
The skeletons once silent now start to speak,
Revealing the secrets they longed to keep.
Whispering truths I dare not speak,
A vow unsaid, a silent prayer—
This endless load is my cross to bear.
With every step, they draw ever so clear,
The truth, like a storm, looms ever so near.
No longer a shadow I can flee,
But a mirror reflecting what I used to be. ...

Awake All Night
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
When I go in to bed and close my eyes
Only bad things rolling in my mind
Maybe something in my history
Maybe everything in my memory
Maybe nothing, maybe that full fucking moon last night
I don't know, but I want sleep
This is driving me crazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
During the day I'll be lazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
Have a dream, to sleep forever
I need my...

Yin & Yang
It’s yin and yang,
the dance of light and dark,
each needing the other
to keep life balanced.
We tug at the threads of blame,
claiming truth on either side,
but in reality—
neither of us is always right
nor always wrong.
We move through life,
clutching at self-preservation,
yet sleepwalking in the shadow of our own minds,
unaware of the darkness we fear.
If you fear your shadows,
know this—
you haven’t touched divinity yet,
there’s still more of you to...
the dance of light and dark,
each needing the other
to keep life balanced.

A Mysterious Existence
let us toast
toast to all the possible versions of ourselves
all in one but still only one
the ones who died
the ones we chose to ignore
the ones we let slip by
there is only us
the current
the now
in all the possibilities this is who we are
this is where we are
I chose this
my actions past defining my future
Is this the best one?
can the others help guide me
I pray and beg
cast in a world of feeling
in a world of thought
a world of choices
which is...

The deception behind the mask
Man to woman and Woman to man let's be serious about, that scenario of what is happening in today's, in society of people's and there true intentions. 🤨 For sure don't we deserve to have something, that is real evidence of love and honor and respect. 💯 FOR sure what would you rather have in your life and world, don't you think that you are worthy of that, kind of devotion and truth and genuine honesty and trust. 💯 For now let's take it farther than that in each relationship, whether good or bad did you feel that you were getting that in return, 🤔 of that what...

Struggling Autisms
Struggling to function in a world that's dysfunctional
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time

It's another year in my life
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️. 111 It's here at this moment in my life with another year in my life, coming that I am truly grateful and thankful and blessed. To be able to see another day in my life. For tomorrow is a blessing for me, on my 66 birthday. 🎉🎂 For sure it's on this day I silently reflect upon my life, as I journey and travel and walk the last four years of my own life. FOR let's go back to 2002 when I had a spinal infusion and I was unable to walk, 😭 or stand on my own two feet alone. 😔 IT was that moment in...

Make Believe
I fall asleep in a spiral
Fetal, lucid like a bad dream
I fumble in this recital
Locked in a self-destructive scheme
Renegade in ways which matter
On waves: a suicidal fiend
I can taste and still feel hunger
Obfuscate, torn enough to bleed
Hopscotch in this sunset divide
A cataclysm at the seams
A pop-up meadow override
Three-in-a-row my enemies
Wake me up from my fantasies
Lay me to rest as casualty.
Fetal, lucid like a bad dream
I fumble in this recital
Locked in a self-destructive scheme
Renegade in ways which matter
On waves: a suicidal fiend
I can taste and still feel hunger
Obfuscate, torn enough to bleed
Hopscotch in this sunset divide
A cataclysm at the seams
A pop-up meadow override
Three-in-a-row my enemies
Wake me up from my fantasies
Lay me to rest as casualty.

Wind haiku sonnet
The wind whispers past
it flows as it does daily
a song synced as one
Music in the trees
sense the melodies within
they play on and on
Moment of stillness
the message is always there
go see for yourself
Nature wastes no time
the sacredness includes you
the same as all life
Look up to see the mirror
every being reflects you
it flows as it does daily
a song synced as one
Music in the trees
sense the melodies within
they play on and on
Moment of stillness
the message is always there
go see for yourself
Nature wastes no time
the sacredness includes you
the same as all life
Look up to see the mirror
every being reflects you
