Thank You
He was told by a friend that his ex-wife is dying of cancer
She had less then a month to live
His hatred & animosity towards her was put to the side
They were together for years
Early on they were happy
Everything was golden
Trust and addiction was a big problem for him
They eventually divorced
They couldn't stand to look at one another
They sold the home
He moved to the next county over
She stayed local
For years they had no contact with one another
One of their friends kept in contact with the two of them
They swore...

Don't Take It Personal
Looking at him you would never know
What lies behind the smile
How his thoughts would roam
Of all the things that he did wrong
In spectacular style
He looks at himself in the mirror
While his life goes on
All the girls are lined up
to give him that dance
To their favorite song
He doesn't wanna tell you
Why should he
You're not the one he wants
The one he wants is gone
For the night, you’ll be the one he needs
Don't take it personal
He's not here for you
He's looking for that girl he lost ...
What lies behind the smile

For the night, you’ll be the one he needs
Don't take it personal

I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

Necrotic Nipple
I’ll be one nipple short
Of a full rack
In a few months
Lookin for inspiration…

Sweet Girl
I hurt like Marilyn, always dummying down my intensity
turning down my internal music
so others feel better
such a hefty price for Marilyn
to pay for the looks combined with intelligence
sent to the looney bin
because God forbid you feel too much
it hurts and if I were a reincarnation of her
they would say poor Marilyn still can't get off the dope
I feel a kindred spirit with her
today I imagine she chose to be a nobody
chained to notoriety is no longer for her
in my heart, she flies free
united with the baby...

~the trance-ease- shun #1 :: a LITT, yet TMHR moment..
it’s never easy.. this a transition
with it’s force fed death at each
of it’s dizzying hairpin bend turn..
you pin down in a flash second
the awaiting eye of a needle.. in
but to all it’s trancing.. an ultimate
liberation.. of the One hardcore
sedimentational truth, this love
when you said those.. in an easy flow
that
you didn’t love me (that much) as I do..
(a bouldering LITT ..Lump InThe Throat …
was in the sumptuous choking.. neither
rolling down...

When is enough an enough
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ FOR let's ask thyself when is enough an enough of the UNTRUTH, that doesn't do anything to help your own self esteem, lifting you up out of the way that leads to the deepness of your pain. 🤔 For when is enough an enough of spending count less minutes and hours, dwelling upon something that we have no real control over. FROM things of the past with it's regrets of mistakes, that only brings back those memories of our hurt and spiritual pain.😞 For sure really when is enough to much to...

Dear Diary,
I’m a grown woman with the mental age of a twelve year old tween.
I’ve started reading and writing poetry. Dont ask. I don’t know why? Kind of wish I was better at it. There are a shit ton of people on here who know what they’re doing. I’m not one of them.
I ate my weight in cookies today because I was mad. Super mature decision. I’m sure I’ll throw them up later.
I’m working over time to present the world a nice version of me. Epic. Fail. I want a drink and I wish I smoked. But that’s dumb I’d just end up with a headache and stinky breath....

As if that were the case
If you fall in love
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
