Breaking Confidence
Breaking Confidence
I trusted in an old friend in some casual conversation
Understanding certain things are said in confidence
When I say “entre nous” I really mean it stays between us
It should be a pact to be honored with vigilance
And when I heard my words being echoed months later
From a different person and from a different city
I put the pieces to that puzzle when I made the connection
I felt betrayed and I all thought was “what a pity”
I felt hurt that the very thing I didn’t want to be divulged
Ran through the ears of...

You Two Cheating Creeps Deserve Each Other
Janet had gone
over to Kirk's
place and saw him naked in bed with her
best
friend Jane before they saw her.

Pico de Gallo
Without hesitation, my hands furl
Sharpest blade, carbon steel
Satisfaction, skin splitting open
Guts, juices, spilling out, sweet
Tomato blood thick on these hands
How dare he bring her to my table
Screaming stocks leak chlorophyll
Cilantro, tearing, limb from limb
A hint of intrigue, a freshness
I hope it tastes like soap to you
Depedation and decapitation
Prying outer layers, for insides
Chopping, violent and precise
Onions, your tears, never enough
Tossed with serano and lime
With a smile, I deliver on time, ...

f**k you!
18 years and i never turned my back on you
As far as your side, now we're at number two
8 months you went behind my back and fucked another dude
I came back and stayed when i found out you got pregnant too
Im not perfect I had faults I admit it
But even with the proof you still tried to say you didn't
I should have walked
Instead we talked
And somehow I convinced you to stay
I took the blame for you treating me that way
I cried.... not for me but for you
For the terrible thing that I made you do
Can you imagine...

Chapter 14 Conversation
Chapter 14 Conversation
Brittney had never been to the place David suggested they meet. As she entered, her eyes adjusted to the dim light and she scanned the room for a familiar face. In the corner, David stood and waved. He walked to her and kissed her cheek before leading her back to the table. She sat nervously across from David.
“What would you like, Brittney?”
She smiled thinking of an alternative meaning she heard in his voice. “I’ll just have red wine.”
David stepped to the bar. Brittney sat alone tapping her fingernails on the oak table...

Chapter 13 Inner Struggle in the Church Pew
Chapter 13 Inner Struggle in the Church Pew
“When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures…” Galatians 5:19
As Brittney heard the scripture read, she felt a whirlwind of shock, guilt, and fear. As the pastor continued, she couldn't shake the feeling that the message was directed straight at her, exposing her deepest secrets and desires for all to see.
The mention of "sinful nature" and the consequences of following it sent a flush of embarrassment creeping up her...

Chapter 12: Confronting Shadows
Chapter 12: Confronting Shadows
Brittney returned home before Alex got off from work. She had showered at the hotel after her intimate rendezvous with David, but she still felt imprint of his touch as if it were hanging around her neck.
As Brittney settled into the cozy living room, her mother's eyes sparkled with curiosity, barely contained behind her glasses.
"Sweetheart, you seem different today," her mother remarked, her tone gentle but probing.
Brittney forced a smile, her mind racing to concoct a plausible explanation....

Cruelty
little imagination you read me but don't get it
a force to deal with, burning with feeling
arrogant of heart my pride was tested
still inherently me, some the wiser
love is not one-sided, it is multifaceted
don't judge the family dynamics, I am needed
interloper with no conscience
you say, love, I see someone working a man and his lusts
my kindness for him knows no bounds
with understanding I treat him
I've protected him over the years in more ways than one
for now, he treats you special
what use for you...

reflections of teenage love
I cringe at the thought
of being engaged at 18
like marriage would have
made our broken love whole
like I didn't punish you with silence
and you didn't hurt me
with your wandering hands
I thought I could force forever
into an eternal rose
gifted to your heart
I thought if I could learn
to love you better
you wouldn't find solace
in other lips and fingertips
I didn't know then
that I wasn't at fault
for they way your broke
every hollow promise
to love me and me alone
...

It's What They Tell Me
I am a true American heroine
ate a little too much Florentine, and salmon
at Sunday brunch, and again at Monday’s lunch
as there is nothing else to do with leftovers.
You search for yourself in my profile
not how it is written, but in between, where
you’ve bitten more than you can swallow,
need to mould me by not mine, but your design
place me high on your angelic pedestal
an itch in my big toe has me fumbling fast
towards to your feet, wrapped neat in a ribbon
we tie up my evening with playing Juliet
To You,...

Today
Oh what drab, colorless roils drape the sky
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun
Clouds billowing
Spread out as tho' to compass all
The sun, the moon, and stars do hide
Those lamps of heavens reaffirming light
Tho' not darkest all -
Not as dark as familiar men's souls
Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
Not as men who on stout legs stand
Thin voices hiss the birthing of death
So discourse this discordant band
Full of hubris and cold...

Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
