Galaxy of Resiliency
" The wound is the place where the light enters you" - Rumi
I have deeply loved myself
despite a heart scarred with failed fates,
and wounded eternities.
Epoch lifetime battle scars and bleeds.
I wear my wounds.
Celebrate my ruins.
What could we possibly learn unmarred?
A scab on every single solitary place
your fingers touched me.
A myriad of patient scars,
to transform me into
a human galaxy of resiliency.
I have deeply loved myself
despite a heart scarred with failed fates,
and wounded eternities.
Epoch lifetime battle scars and bleeds.
I wear my wounds.
Celebrate my ruins.
What could we possibly learn unmarred?
A scab on every single solitary place
your fingers touched me.
A myriad of patient scars,
to transform me into
a human galaxy of resiliency.

Don't Vase Me
I can bloom again
anywhere I freakin' want
fifty-foot flower
anywhere I freakin' want
fifty-foot flower

Frayed
into the fray with dire outcome
sin today pay on the morrow
death cares not the end
should it be messy and cruel
or be it found in a timely fashion” - Crimsin
From the fray – Shimmering triangles
Spinning in dark anti gravity
Thrust into anti levity
Space, thrust upon
Space man face
in space.

Hi, my name is K,
and I almost slipped today.
There’s just so much I want to share
when I convince myself that you might care…
Alcoholics have sponsors when they’re under attack
but I have to find ways to have my own back.
So I pick off the scabs, I watch the blood bubble,
reread the silences, relive the trouble.
I let the hurt choke me like hands on my neck;
it’s not masochism – it’s reality check.
Then anger steps up to take over the fight,
beating back shame, setting boundaries right.
As tears flood my spirit, my...

Silky Shield
strong and tall the barrier stand
as soft as love resilient as steel
guards my heart from falls and spills
a wire around to hold all still
holding away from fear and pain
shields held up against all sorrow
no heartaches or cuts to attend
protected from any forms of disdain
Within this fortress I reside
smiling with love from the other side
to live and yearn is better yet
than to hurt when love's unreturned
left behind in love and joy
forever wrapped in self care
to never let emotions destroy ...
as soft as love resilient as steel
guards my heart from falls and spills
a wire around to hold all still
holding away from fear and pain
shields held up against all sorrow

smiling with love from the other side
to live and yearn is better yet

90 minutes
I went out today
because staying home
would have meant
getting back into bed
and wasting my day
with mind numbing distractions
and I desperately needed
to make my body move
beyond the act of breathing
Between pain and depression
some days feel like hibernation
and last time I checked
it's not winter
and I'm not a bear
I walked for an hour and a half
hit my pain limit
and had to get an Uber home
because trying to navigate
the bus system
with an invisible disability ...

Sensuous Me - The Poet
I am reminded of my faults and failures
Every minute of every day
My frustration is knowing I have powers
but forget to use them the right way
They've been kept inside a protective shell
that's been cracking for many decades
What's inside, I will not tell
Till the voice inside me says Okay
You see, I am a poet with a passionate soul
Maybe that's why my life is so hard
If I could just remember it's not forever,
and remember what it means to be a bard
Maybe I could...

Hang Time
Don't drink with me
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
When I'm drinking my drink
Like water I flow
Straight from a babbling brook
To a roar I go
Crashing into rocks
And then over the falls
I've got two more fifths so I can forget you all
So don't drink with me
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
My life goes with the stream
Or so it seems
From running with bass and trout
To piranhas on my team
One minute life is pure and all so clear
The next it's contaminated
And nothing can live in...
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
When I'm drinking my drink
Like water I flow
Straight from a babbling brook
To a roar I go
Crashing into rocks
And then over the falls
I've got two more fifths so I can forget you all
So don't drink with me
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
My life goes with the stream
Or so it seems
From running with bass and trout
To piranhas on my team
One minute life is pure and all so clear
The next it's contaminated
And nothing can live in...

Dreaming of finding love
I close my eyes— sleep, awake, threshold, rupture, flight
a door unhinges inside my mind,
splitting wide to the infinite howl of the cosmos.
The dark swallows me whole,
Yet I walk silent through the nothing, a shadow without weight,
stardust in my mouth, my veins glass rivers humming with echoes,
feet bleeding across the abyss,
through infinity, past the breath of collapsing stars.
"Love!" I call, voice shattered into echoes.
"Love, where are you?"
"Do you not know my voice?"...
a door unhinges inside my mind,
splitting wide to the infinite howl of the cosmos.
The dark swallows me whole,
Yet I walk silent through the nothing, a shadow without weight,
stardust in my mouth, my veins glass rivers humming with echoes,
feet bleeding across the abyss,
through infinity, past the breath of collapsing stars.
"Love!" I call, voice shattered into echoes.
"Love, where are you?"
"Do you not know my voice?"...

recovery
recovery has bestowed
two gifts upon me
I neither experience
boredom or
loneliness
no approval can build
me
no disdain can break
me
I am my own best
friend
my own best
company
far too many people
running desperately
in circles
like gerbils on a
flaming wheel
like a gun turned
the wrong way
like a cure searching
for a disease
seeking an answer
that already
exist
but rejected for

Origami
The scars you see
are the testimony
of the twists and turns of life
Creases run sharp and deep
but they define my stride
Folded, pleated, ruffled
I cried in agony
but meaningful was the pain
for all in its grace
it shaped my identity.
a piece of paper so plain
turned into something beautiful
something extraordinary...
I'm work of art
I am life's origami
Unfold me
and you will find
a pattern in all its complexities
