you don't think about it much
not when everything still hurts
what happens after
you focus on the pain
bruises...burns...& fractures
on getting through that day
& the next
trying to understand what went wrong
was it you...or them
or a toxic combination
but when wounds stop aching
& shadows fall back
horizon looking a little brighter
that's when possibility presents itself
& your head tips to one side
in silent contemplation

The Day We Said Goodbye
It was a very cold winter day
Still I couldn’t tell you if it was sunny or gray
Such irrelevance was far in the back of my mind
It would’ve been dark even if the sun did shine
So often we're in the place we least want to see
But there’s nowhere else that we’d rather be
They said you were dying, a sin to keep you alive
Our hearts ripped to pieces deciding what was right
It turned out to be the day we said goodbye ...

They said you were dying, a sin to keep you alive
Our hearts ripped to pieces deciding what was right
It turned out to be the day we said goodbye ...

Melt the Frost
Sometimes we lose our minds
Trapped between two walls colliding
Feels like you will be crushed
A war between two sides are fighting
Crash and burn just like a car
Explosion within, the world's on fire
A hose is needed to put it out
The situation is getting dire
We try to make it out
From the depths of hell below
Lost in an endless maze
Nowhere for you to go
Trapped beneath the waves
Held down by all your fear
Afraid you will lose it all
The devil will then appear
It's hard to find hope ...

the cook
The Cook
Among pots and pans
The heat of an oil stove
Not a place for dreaming
He saw the glittering sea
That had a cooling breeze
On its surface
For years, the open door
Was his freedom
Where does the ocean begin
The sea life ended
Jamaica was his destiny
A youthful dream coming true
Love only comes once
But its ember continues
Will he find where the ocean is?
Begins?

NO MORE BEGGING
I
tried to be coy...
then suggestive...
then a little bolder;
finally an open but
somewhat sharing
between us...me too far,
YOU guarded and
suggestive.
OCCASIONALLY
it seemed the barrier was
collapsing as a few more
indications that YOU
were all in.
MY
desire is still YES.
BUT NO MORE BEGGING.
Remove your mask and
meet me at the Kissing Place.
OKAY?

I'm Not Sorry
Since I've been on Meetup again, I've been going to a support group that is incredibly supportive and helpful. I notice often times, when someone speaks and wants to add something, they say sorry. When they cry, they say sorry.
Well, I'm not. I'm not ever gonna say those dreaded words again for things I don't need to be sorry for.
No, I'm not sorry for showing emotion that society encourages me to repress.
I'm not sorry for needing to scream.
I'm not sorry for my rage.
I'm not sorry for being myself.
Ever again.

Limited By Human Connection
Got on Meetup again to go to that support group that I had troubles with just to see. The same host was on the screen of the zoom meeting. I looked away, no false smile. I was hoping it wouldn't be her.
I did not think I was being treated fairly, but I still go to that victim blaming of thinking of what I did wrong. Because I am the monster. I am the one who deserves to be outed. I think so deeply about right and wrong because I want to know if I'm ever doing anything right. Nothing ever feels good enough...
She said sorry I'm not allowed to come back and that I'm upset...

Grace .
When you are at your weakest that is when
you need to be superwoman or superman
and battle away .
One day you don’t feel so bad and that’s coz
you tried . I think people are mostly magic ✨for being who they are . Life can be hard and most times nobody says how they feel.
I mean you don’t want to be the odd one .
Life can be pretending yes I am fine . You got your
pink pop lipstick on or your precious jewels but you
can’t smile and mean it .
We are all bloody mad if you ask me some of the time .

the future as irony
The Future as Irony
If we try to look ahead, say ten years when ex-president Trump sits in a cell in Arizona sent by Elon Musk, who rules the world and has an army of all-seeing AI officials, people will wonder why Trump lived that long, living on burgers and Pepsi Cola, concluding it is a long-life diet they too must live by to become very old.
They don’t know that Elon Musk, the Titan planted a chip in Trump’s brain to keep him alive showing us he has no hard feelings against the man, who got him sacked in 2025 from a job he had taken delight in because there had been many...

She Was Never Alone
She was seven.
A little Black girl in a world too heavy for her small frame,
Too sharp for her soft hands,
Too cruel for a heart that only wanted love.
She didn’t belong...at least, that’s what it felt like.
Floating through her own life, a ghost in her own skin,
Scared. Lost. Disconnected.
The nights swallowed her whole,
Darkness pressed against her like an unwanted touch.
The world wasn’t safe.
The monsters weren’t just under the bed.
They had keys to the front door.
Spoke in whispers when Mama wasn’t home.
Mama was always...

Coward
What it is?
To say, To Confess,
"I Love You."
A Feeling ?
A Statement ?
State of Being ?
Let me tell you,
My Love.
It is an act of bravery,
To Confess,
To Say, that,
"I Love you",
In the world of bravehearts,
My Love,
I am the biggest Coward.

Tumbling Object
Oooops slip and fumble.
My hand reaches to catch it.
Tumbling out of my grasp.
In slow motion I watch it fall.
Through its parabolic arc.
I see the images as it rotates down.
Recognising it as a Favorited mug.
Emotional attachment floods over me.
Iridescence warm feelings as well.
Memories strolling home.
Via the park behind her home.
Were I found this now spinning mug.
First a ping, which sounded ok.
Then a bounce, followed by a thud.
A resounding crack, not so good.
Several other...
