WHAT HAPPENED?
We used to defy
all taboos, cross
all barriers, dare
to take a risk,
say yes against
the odds, taste the
forbidden, indulge
in decadence, and
pick ourselves up after
we were down for the count;
loose our shirt and have
to hitchhike home.
YES! Vegas is what happened
to us and we didn't let
it stay there but we brought
empty pockets with us.
BUT
we're on our way back to
the bright lights and winning
and losing....WOW! Life
gets more exciting every day,
win, lose, or draw...

Love's Madness
I don't want to go
Still I'm trapped in this madness
With no place to go
Still I'm trapped in this madness
With no place to go

Fallen Petal
withered now
this petal was
once so soft
brush strokes
gently fade away
drift into
the background
of a painting
hanging crooked
on a wall in an old
abandoned hall
the lady in
the photograph
tells us all
her secrets
woven in words
across canvas and
through time
fleeing her mind
truths written
now spilt
upon divine
tapestries strewn
with illiterate ink
not understanding
the consequences

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....

IF I'D WALK AWAY
If the time has come
For me to walk away
To leave you my love
Will you not save
The tears that flow
I have on display
When I turn to leave
On this darkest day
When the sun won't rise
And the winter comes
As a river still flows
From the saddest eyes
If the time has come
For me to walk away
Will you leave a smile
Could you pause awhile
In the setting sun
And I leave you a kiss
For now there is none
As I leave you with this
Knowing you warmed the heart
Of a very troubled fool
Who's lost...
For me to walk away
To leave you my love
Will you not save
The tears that flow
I have on display
When I turn to leave
On this darkest day
When the sun won't rise
And the winter comes
As a river still flows
From the saddest eyes
If the time has come
For me to walk away
Will you leave a smile
Could you pause awhile
In the setting sun
And I leave you a kiss
For now there is none
As I leave you with this
Knowing you warmed the heart
Of a very troubled fool
Who's lost...

A song in Time
longing to be
besides you
sing you a song
plucked from heart's vine
stars on music chords
eyes open wide
arms and kisses
circle of safeness
hummed within the song
tenderness
misted eyes
songs choked
on melancholic
throats closed
in tears
floating
on rippled ponds
discarded paper
gold circles broken
thrown.

154 Sonnets
Each a verse form of cathexis selfie
where Shakespeare linked his ink with how to think
about what we would call psychology
packaged as an Elizabethan shrink
in a pre-Freudian disposition
pre-empting any Oedipal complex
or too withal awkward disquisition
in the canon days of renaissance sex
when fretfulness was as much troth plighted
as syphilis by an alehouse knave
or a wench to see a knighthood blighted
until nullified by a churchyard grave...
as their sliding pain and pleasure scale
also brought them to little...

Broken Heart
She broke my heart
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!

Cognisance
Loneliness hits
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all

She works until midnight
She works until midnight tonight –
The sentence makes me pause as I remember,
once upon a time…
Midnight was the hour when the party got going,
when liquified dancing took over my mind
and I couldn’t even imagine her;
Because that was way before her time.
Later, midnight was the hour
of waking up groggy
for feeding and rocking
and burping and changing,
thinking the tiredness would never end;
But that was before her childhood.
Then, midnight became the hour
for one last check on the sleeping cherub -
