She never listened to anybody
This was around the time I was 8 or 9 years old.
I was in the 3rd grade.
The teacher's aid always told her and the rest of us not to stand up on the swing.
She always did it anyway.
She never listened to anybody.
I heard she had a terrible upbringing.
She was beaten by her mother for being mischievous and defiant.
Her father would come home when he wanted to.
He was a traveling salesman.
Supposedly he had two mistresses, with families in Texas & Virginia.
I hated her guts because she always used to chase me home from school, pull my hair...

And yet
You fucked me over like
nothing mattered
while I stood like
a Valkyrie over
your body
ready to
dick kick
anyone
who wanted to hurt you.
But now I’m the one
who wants to hurt you.
So I’ll step
into an embrace
I use to think was sacred
long enough for
you to smell my
shampoo and the
Bath and Body Works
Japanese Cherry Blossom
body butter
on my...

Nothingness
My hurt spoke to me of nothingness
and I long to let go of myself
Deep into the darkness
never to feel anything again
I don't want to try anymore
trying to fit in and still standing out
The one I love just wants to be accepted
I am cast out
I expected him to shiver with me in the cold
the cold spoke nothingness into my soul
and I long to let go of myself
Deep into the darkness
never to feel anything again
I don't want to try anymore
trying to fit in and still standing out
The one I love just wants to be accepted
I am cast out
I expected him to shiver with me in the cold
the cold spoke nothingness into my soul

STAIRWAY TO PEACE
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ What I would like to talk about, is necessary for the betterment of your life as you think about, the true understand of the very words that I say. 🤔 For have you ever had someone who catch your attention, to have you really analyze, the deepness of your own thoughts. 🧐 I'm talking about, the differences between now and then, as in the deepness of your own personal, experiences of relationships. THAT has been changed by the entire encounter, like a innocent recent developments of time. ⌚ THAT they were apart of the...

The Ability to Accept
In the constant endless changes of life’s ebb and flow
Acceptance is an integral part of development and growth
Embracing the reality that unpredictability is certain
And so we should walk in accordance with the universe
Trying to resist change can be often fruitless and futile
To reach our destination we may need to alter the course
Or rather go with the flow in order to move in rhythm
Having synchronicity and agility to go along with the currents
If we set our sails and use the winds to our advantage
We must know that storms will be...

Lone Rider - Hybrid Floral - Meaning of Life
Riding the rail
Out of town
Nobody sleeps
Hobo blues
Tried to fit in
Conform
Pastel golf shirts
I'm dressed all in black
Barrio art studio
I paint my magic
Cheap rent and broken glass
Lone Rider working the pretty

A THOUSAND APOLOGIES
PLEASE
It's not about
right or wrong,
or contextual
clarity or the
projection of
metaphorical expressions
missing being understood.
It's not a
matter of semantics
or who said what...
it's about apologies
and a new invitation
to dialogue and
build on pluses...
this is a kneeling request
from an aching soul.
Okay?

short-lived fantasies
3 of 30
everything...
every imaginable uplifting
gifted to me in that moment of time
that's what it gave me
on a wild whim I entered
never expecting any kind of return
they all said it wouldn't happen
insistent my stature wasn't up to the challenge
{what's wrong with being petite?!}
but for the first time...
I followed my dream
a few simple photos
brief biography
stuffed in an envelope
addressed & sent
& the unthinkable occurred
I got the call
date set...

Beloved Partner of the Path
You may not care much for me;
yet I walk with you nonetheless
realizing the illusion
of our differences—
You may highlight faults
of my past, and that's okay—
mistakes are growth catalysts
We are not the same people
we were an hour ago. . .
if we've learned anything;
therefore, be gentle
with yourself, and others
despite the road they walk—
we're all merely stardust and ash
experiencing our way back home
~

What I didn't see on TV
If this woman is bald
and that man does braids
stop shitting and join the dance.
The rhythm pulses, bodies move
eyes meet, smiles meet.
In the center of the track the energy grows
arms rise, feet glide,
the sound envelops, the soul is freed.
Every step is a story told
each turn is a moment lived.
Dance unites, transforms and transcends
and in the end we are all one.
Lights flicker, shadows lengthen,
fragmented moments in time,
the harmony of a silent symphony.
Feet that stumble, hearts...
and that man does braids
stop shitting and join the dance.
The rhythm pulses, bodies move
eyes meet, smiles meet.
In the center of the track the energy grows
arms rise, feet glide,
the sound envelops, the soul is freed.
Every step is a story told
each turn is a moment lived.
Dance unites, transforms and transcends
and in the end we are all one.
Lights flicker, shadows lengthen,
fragmented moments in time,
the harmony of a silent symphony.
Feet that stumble, hearts...

Live and Learn
The psyche is a lightning thing
and flesh burns like a tree
within the maelstrom where we sing
of sad mortality.
The soul is an experiment
like lab rats testing pain
and never mind the detriment
done to the heart and brain.
And in this hell we must make do
with less than what we want
spinning tribulation anew
as something like a jaunt...
where lessons learned along the way
are how the fears allay.
and flesh burns like a tree
within the maelstrom where we sing
of sad mortality.
The soul is an experiment

and never mind the detriment
done to the heart and brain.
And in this hell we must make do
with less than what we want
spinning tribulation anew
as something like a jaunt...
where lessons learned along the way
are how the fears allay.

She's! So! Perky!!!
She has a weird body
Yeah, I looked
Yes, I'm judging (though I have no right to)
The designer got part of it right
She's slim and petite
Big boobs and big butt
But the boobs are high
and the butt is low
giving her figure (is that still a word?)
a wavy effect.
But it doesn't matter
because
she's!
super!
SUPER!
perky!!
READY TO YELL MS G???
She's talking about the staff rally (why, just why?)
my school district is having tomorrow.
I'll be...
