I’m glad this wasn’t
I love you endlessly
I wish I could have made you feel it
Instead of the loneliness I left you in
When you decided to tell me your heart had already made up it’s mind and I think you gave me a last ditch effort to make me feel better
But it didn’t make me feel better I feel worse knowing I was trying for nothing
But maybe I wasn’t trying for nothing
Maybe I wasn’t trying maybe I’m making up stories
I’m not sure what I can believe from my brain anymore I know I’m sick
And shitty
Really really shitty....

Anxiety
Happening again
I am reeling
impotent to change
the way I’m feeling
racing thoughts
cannot breathe
panic envelops
no reprieve
chest heavy
fists are tight
anxious, scared
fight or flight
unable to run
wanting to hide
frozen in place
pain inside
body shaking
I close my eyes
no one there
to hear my cries
I am ill
there is no buffer
in distress
alone I suffer
I am reeling
impotent to change
the way I’m feeling
racing thoughts
cannot breathe
panic envelops
no reprieve
chest heavy
fists are tight
anxious, scared
fight or flight
unable to run
wanting to hide
frozen in place
pain inside
body shaking
I close my eyes
no one there
to hear my cries
I am ill
there is no buffer
in distress
alone I suffer

A Screaming Wind
His voice hurts her ears.
Piercing.
A mouthy earring.
Dangling,
on the edge of being silenced.

Famous literature?
This Saturday, like many others, I got up late
it was almost ten, my hands trembled,
low blood sugar
I can live with diabetes while keeping the balance
watching what I eat and drink
Last night, fed up with the fake news on TV
where politicians spoke about how bad Russia was and
their undying love for Ukraine while secretly longing
for the days before the North Stream
was blown
up by the Americans, helped by the Norwegian Navy

Don't Let It Galvanize
The rhetoric of
your excuses
transposed a frailty of fortitude
to the disposition
of
decadent
distraction;
the embers of my soul
were ashen with the
magnanimous motives which
yours embarked
to destroy mine.
sweet lies from
vermilion lips fracturing asunder
the reality of
this bards’ quill….
Amethyst tears fall
to parchment;
the atomic dragon
poised upon zephyrs – the archetype
of a soul assassin,
cold and capricious.

Something about suffering
Allah toast the moon
La luna sombrero from the big spoon
Tetrahedron dome tiny memorabilia
Mycelium, roots, moss, fauna, gnome
What weathers and doesnt kill ya
Wand of fire
Another ace of spades,
Against the tops of tree, she waxes, she wanes
Surrenders aglow in love and in pains
A call from my friends
You said Id be shorter
Theres layers of moon beams
Pyramid screen doors
Larger than in mirror
Nothing as it seems is as it allegedly appears
Nor does that apply here
The cheats are encoded into everywhere

Death By Taxes
Exploiting the need
Setting the cost of this dead end living
In this system, the consumer is the feed
Lives for auction, waged efforts in short changed bidding
Cycles of debt make up bondages of dependency
Desperation to control in this market of captivity
Oppressive price tags and credit scores to earn a right to owe
Qualifying for financial burdens
They own the ground in which we sow
Harvesting more costly endeavors in this death grip for a home
Culture of the illusion of success
Retirement savings for future...

Lives of Poets
What makes me wonder
Is not why writers and poets
So young and old
Succumb to emptiness.
It is the lives they had lived
Under the bright sky.
Things they must have seen
To mold those words of bitterness.
From Homer’s Olympus heights
To Byron’s mountain of light.
From the banks of a gushing Nile
to the flows of the Mississippi might.
Mountains, rivers, hills, and streams
Have molded words and wondrous dreams.
Dripping blood mixed with ink
Together they form a hidden...

Melancholy Rose
She sighed in prose
And wept in silence
This melancholy rose
On the verge of violence
And wept in silence
This melancholy rose
On the verge of violence

Ex-presidents
There was a man, not very tall, selling
pornographic pictures at a corner of a
street
Once he had all the power, one could
dream of, as a military junta took his
job, and since all he had was grand
villas were in the name of the state and
Furthermore, he had neglected to pay
anything to his retirement fund
Hence, reduced selling of naughty
picture of visiting statemen having sex
in some sleazy hotel
when those who had bought the pictures
took a closer look, they realized they
had a goldmine ...
