Bonding
My soul reappeared right before the flood
It was foaming at the mouth and covered in blood
It was pounding on my psyche begging to reunite
I double locked the doors and hid from its sight
I ran into the room and hid under the bed
Clamped my hands over my ears to hear what it said
In an icy voice that seemed both near and far
The voice echoed for hours "we are, we are"
I hid in the closet the perfect place to forget
It was my emotional shield, hiding me from pain and regret
My soul was raging it wanted to know why
It...
It was foaming at the mouth and covered in blood
It was pounding on my psyche begging to reunite
I double locked the doors and hid from its sight
I ran into the room and hid under the bed
Clamped my hands over my ears to hear what it said
In an icy voice that seemed both near and far
The voice echoed for hours "we are, we are"
I hid in the closet the perfect place to forget
It was my emotional shield, hiding me from pain and regret
My soul was raging it wanted to know why

Scars tell tales beyond their gasps
or moans or wounds.—cab
the oyster hugs its pearls,
scorched by harsh grains of sand;
the sand, swept by windwhirls,
annihilate the land.
sweet ebon, wear your rings
—no tree as tall and proud!—
where time has grafted strings
to pull you to your cloud.
my children etch birthmarks ...
or moans or wounds.—cab
the oyster hugs its pearls,
scorched by harsh grains of sand;

Don't hide your scars
Take off your clothes,
don't hide your scars
I love them,
you cannot understand
Let's count the mental wounds
Time after time
and again and again
Your body is like a
book of stories,
All cuts are a separate story
I'm tired of arguing
with you because of them,
And there is no need
How much pain have you
suffered with me?
I do not need an answer
You are now like an open book,
And until dawn comes ...
We will not say a word to
each other ...
forgetting our names, ...
don't hide your scars
I love them,
you cannot understand
Let's count the mental wounds
Time after time
and again and again
Your body is like a
book of stories,
All cuts are a separate story
I'm tired of arguing
with you because of them,
And there is no need
How much pain have you
suffered with me?
I do not need an answer
You are now like an open book,
And until dawn comes ...
We will not say a word to
each other ...
forgetting our names, ...

Ocean of a world (Inspired by "The fat Joke" by Rachel Wiley ~ Button poetry finalist)
I know that when people see me, they see the body that I inhabit first.
They see my body and shake their heads in disgust, because how could I let it get this bad.
Fat girl walks through the world, and yet they do not see all she has been through,
They do not see countless nights spent in the gym, daggers being shot at her back.
They do not see the meal replacements and the counted calorie intakes,
They do not see nights on an empty stomach, or the constant water fasts.
Fat girls walks through a world designed to tear her down, to shame her,
And...

You Are Beautiful
No one is ever happy with the way they look.
They say silly things like, "my nose is to long/short and my eyes are the wrong color/to close together/to far apart and I have the worst figure, I'm to fat/thin/short/tall. My hair is the wrong color/thinning/to curly/to straight"
Then they say, "I'm ugly"
None of the above makes anyone ugly. The only ugly people I know are ugly on the inside.
They are rude, crude, selfish creatures that are eaten up. They are controlling assholes who know it all and are never wrong even when they are. ...

Beloved (david)
Born
from lowly stock
tend ewe's and lambs.
To lead
forge ahead
a country formed
from living seeds.
Come Philistines
Hebrews all,
biblical, seal
scribed
on Sanskrit
scrolls.
Head the coin,
great statues
to admire,
the care to rule
before great Popes.
Raised a nations
hopes,
Cast the die to frame
David, trumpets herald
and proclaim,
Chosen line
the given name.
To shepherd
goodness,
gird up its loins
and stride forth. ...

Warring Entities
Broken sleep
Broken dreams
Parts of life
Or so it seems
Life or death
Chariot or hearse
For better or worse
Blessed or cursed
Having home turf
Or visiting team
Value self-worth
Or low self-esteem
Losing steam
Or full of vigor
Faith redeemed
Or pull the trigger

Invisible Flower
I'm a flower, gathered,
with others in my husband's heart.
But, I'm surrounded
By forget-me-nots
So to me, you don't see
Because I'm obviously,
Just a worthless weed.
with others in my husband's heart.
But, I'm surrounded
By forget-me-nots
So to me, you don't see
Because I'm obviously,
Just a worthless weed.

Destined To Finish First At Last
Young and wise
King Henry Five
with might didst proclaim
*“the gentler gamester
is the soonest winner.”
commanding
that his army strive
to treat
their foe with favor
come now winning times
much sooner than later
when like altruism
fills all hearts and minds
Today, lamentably,
that peaceable player
would nary survive
but would, instead,
be eaten alive
lest nefarious
kindness thrive
With distressing frequency
I hear of me said
“you’re a really nice guy but…”

Symbolic Narrations
I am the spark of a denizen
Marching out on parade
Ignoring the calls of the local boys
My silence cuts them like a blade
Can you spare a moment of quiet time
That'll quench my thirst
I must make clear that I'm not the last
But damn sure that I'm the first
To see all the magic come down
That quickly got shackled down to the ground
Shuffle the choir for another day
Until they're clear out of town
The passion and purpose finds it's way
To lift me up when I am down
And single spires of another wind
