Stepping into the light
Three decades woven with shared stories,
Beneath the neon lights of Big Daddy's,
where laughter mingled with dreams,
Intimacy grew, roots intertwining,
A friendship forged in youth’s gleam.
Shared secrets over drinks, laughter echoing,
our affection blooming amidst the glamor.
We weathered storms, literal and figurative
Katrina scattering us like seeds to the wind.
You chased your dreams, grasping that golden sun,
and from afar, I cheered, my heart full of your triumph.
Through the digital threads that spanned our distance,
I sent...

Silhouettes of Sorrow
In the stillness of the night, shadows settle where you once stood,
Echoes of your absence haunt the solitude, misunderstood.
The void within, a silent scream, a wasteland of despair,
From the spark of hope to ashes cold, love's cruel affair.
We, the reckless souls, chasing dreams of distant shores,
Yet destined to find only wreckage washed upon our shores.
Bleeding hearts, we're the fortunate ones, they say,
For in our scars, we carry the memories of love's decay.
I've lost it all, a mere silhouette in the twilight's grasp,
A hollow...

A Friday in October
This morning was green and mild, with
no sand, in my eyes, wind from Morocco blew
Once, I was in Casablanca, I bought a pair
of traditional slippers with long toes
it is what one does at the old market
The TV man spoke about the weather
said Africa, which is a continent and many
other things
A farmer in the next village had killed his
wife, for a woman getting married
is a perilous activity, the lottery of life
is littered with unlucky females
In Mosul, Iraqi officers arW paraded on
the TV....

Book of Life
My hair
is being pulled
by the winds
of time
Stories
once written
in this book
of life
For every
other page
there’s a
raging storm
The paper
soaking wet
raining tears
that transform
These chapters
of my life
that I made
it through
Lessons
repeated
until I found
the truth:
I am
the author
I see all
the patterns…
That day
the
hourglass
shattered
is being pulled
by the winds
of time
Stories
once written
in this book
of life
For every
other page
there’s a
raging storm
The paper
soaking wet
raining tears

unwritten endings
24 of 30
I watched him walk away
with a distinct air of unfinished business
didn't even glance over his shoulder
no indication he ever would
but I felt the later in his departure
my mind began to tremble
while my heart skipped a beat
like a poem that ends in the middle of a stanza...
...just left me hanging
there's no letting go without closure
I simply had to keep it moving
do the best I could to focus on the present
while hope kept poking me in the back
the silent emptiness continually kicking me in the ass ...

Not Done Yet
I cannot leave this world yet
I’m not done with loving you
It’s all that I have left in life
I’ve nothing more to do
So hold me as I shed my tears
I didn’t want to stay
But you need me more than I do
So I cannot go away
I need for you to love me back
I can’t do this alone
I need to be your everything
Such a love I’ve never known
I sometimes feel like giving up
Please remind me why I’m here
Remind me of the reasons why
Only you can ease my fears
Love me till there is no more
Till...

Far Gone
I may not remember what color your eyes are
And the last time we spoke
But I do remember
The way your eyes crinkle when you smile
And the last time we spoke
But I do remember
The way your eyes crinkle when you smile

You have to make you feel better.
I know it's not brilliant.
I know it's not correct.
But it is what it is.
I've never claimed to be sugar plum treats,
encased in salty caramel,vanilla,cinnamon,hot pepper sauce,biting taste.Someone,
Never taking responsibility, accountability,
in my days of weakness,
Which really is life experience, showing me.
Telling me.
Look within,to begin with. You dont owe nobody. Send heartfelt apology,to anyone you've hurt. And forgive yourself unapologetically. Cos you've made transformations in your life.
I am not responsible for people...

End of a Chapter.
And I feel it the slipping of your hand from mine the end of chapter, my hands shake. Not knowing if I can turn the last page. When my character meets her demise Scrawled in a black ink calligraphic script shaped with outstanding penmanship. It’s show’s artistic flair and with the nib of a pen I exit the storyline with perfect strokes of black ink I witness a plot twist I had not foreseen am I so blind to all the characters who took my words on the paper. I honestly thought they were all mine but maybe I missed a chapter in my contented fantasy. I am an avid reader.
it’s not...
it’s not...

Silk fuchsia ponytail.
I would cut myself into silk fuchsia ribbons to gift you colour when you only see darkness. In those moments I know you think too much about the past and how you live with regret. How your feelings are muffled into shapes and shadows that looks like you and follow you but doesn’t allow the sun sets. You are not your mistakes or your fears you are just stuck in illusions. The darkness isn’t your friend it just wants to keep you in the shade. How can you grow without the sun and the rain and hazy days. Take the ribbons tie them in your high ponytail as a reminder. Kindness and self compassion...

Presumably
You think you know me
You can tell
What I want
Need
You got me
I used to think
That was everything
Until I realized
That in all your knowledge
You have zero
You don’t hear me
You give me
What you need me to have
What gives you satisfaction
Your savior complex
Drives you to do for me
I got that covered
If you really knew me
You would understand
That what I need
What I want ...

Bittersweet Madness (Spoken)
Take me back to that sweet place,
Where I felt your sweet embrace.
When all the promises felt real,
And time wasn't required to heal.
Take me back to late night calls,
To long wandering wilderness strolls,
So I can hear the sound of laughter,
Not the sobs that came after.
Take me back to before you hated me,
Before either of us were tired & angry,
...

So I can hear the sound of laughter,

Take me back to before you hated me,
Before either of us were tired & angry,
