A Bout of Madness
O Aphrodite, you callus and cruel god, I know now the madness of you,
I saw her face and thought her a radiant dawn,
I gave her my words, so simple and basic, nothing to me or her,
And she cared, to my jest she joked,
And something stirred,
Some arrow of madness.
I moved with haste, I made motion to meet her,
Manifest was my heart to bear, for her,
And the sting of scorn, for the hare is not to emulate,
What hubris of me, I know only her image,
Her voice a song yet for me to her, her person not mine to covet,
I knew this, I am no...

An Unspoken Truth
Reflecting on the toxic relationship I was in earlier this year, there's a profound truth that I have learned. A truth that's unseen. Unspoken. The forbidden truth. The truth that inconveniences men who don't get a lot of women. It is this very truth that shakes me to my core. Fear. So much fear around it.
As a woman with a more positive aura than the man I was with and who was an easy magnet for men, I knew from the beginning that I felt uncomfortable. But as usual, I ignored that feeling.
He was one of those nice guys who said all the right words, but his actions...

Her Picture
HER PICTURE
“Here it is Lyle,” Gary said handing him the picture. Lyle reached up from the hospital bed and
winced. The pain was excruciating.
“Who is she?” Gary asked. “I know I've seen her somewhere.”
“She's special,” Lyle said, looking into her crystal blue eyes smiling a little.
“Do you know her?” Gary asked.
“Yeah. Yeah I do,” Lyle said. “In a different sort of way maybe we all do.”
Gary grunted. “How you feeling buddy?”
“Okay,” Lyle said looking at his friend. “Just a little weak. It's...

It will kill me...
I have never been wanted.
Not really.
Not in the way that stays when the night gets too quiet,
not in the way that doesn’t leave bruises,
not in the way that doesn’t make me question
if I was ever meant to be here at all.
I have been the almost, the mistake,
the afterthought in a crowded room.
Hands have reached for me,
but only when they needed something to hold,
only when they were searching for warmth
that wasn’t meant for me.
I have been told I was loved.
But love, as I have known it,
has always come with...

When Fake Outshines The Truth
Hoof-printed trails speak of goats, sheeps and livestock herds,and the small pawprints of sloughi left behind..easily recognized.I take the route daily trodden, the way of my thoughts to browse the forest woods, and the mountain rocks...
overwhelmed with mundane vocabulary, idle speeches,vain chatting, the brain is about to collapse into fruitless abyss,dehydrated, i skip into the forest woods, the open lands, open their hands to my muse, fuel my heart with the most truthful feelings, the mountain is silently friendly and warm...
...
The wilderness...
