MY STILLNESS AWAITS
As I awaken from a dream that has awaken me, as I am still here in this world alive and still breathing. Yet I have to take sometime to adjust my life and mind to the truth, that from the darkness I had to learn to experience life from a different perspective. Yet through those troubling times, I learn that we have to go through some rough times to appreciate, the good blessings of our lives. For as I deal with my cancer treatments going through chemotherapy, I am still not afraid of what the future will bring or become for me. As I am feeling no pain nor regret for living my life as I did...

Dinner for no one at the tropic of cancer hotel
My throat is an
hourglass, food
passes like
grains of
sand
I wonder
when time
will run out

What She Really Got From Smoking
She thought that smoking
would make her look cool but that
was before she got cancer.

I'M NOT UPSET NOR DO I REGRET
They say that we all have that moment in our lives, when we must decide to live or to die for example life, wasn't never a promise to live forever but to have the opportunity to experience the world. For I am not UPSET about the final episode of my life, for you see I have already excepted the FAITH of my future in heart and soul. So as I exchange the process of being in a position, to understand what it means to go through the procedure of dealing. With prostate cancer treatment with radiation therapy, too later turn into a tumor treated with steroids and if that wasn't enough. You have lung...

I only had a week to say goodbye
Part 1 (If I don't laugh I will cry)
I saved her mind to a memory stick
so I can reboot each time she gets sick.
Her version control says don't ask me
and she's started to sing in MP3.
Each time she tries to remember a name
she asks for a password and starts again.
Old memories don't seem to play anymore
because she's lost the driver for her MP4.
Sometimes little thoughts keep coming back
but it's usually just the audio track.
I'm beginning to think her file is corrupt ...

His Music
Some days I just listen to my dad’s music
The 70s, 80s, and 90s mostly
Even though I am so far away from him, it helps
I didn’t think I loved his music this much
But now every time I listen to it, I’m reminded of him
It’s going to be hard when he’s gone
And I have to listen to it all by myself
I hate the uncertainty of his cancer
No one has any idea how long he will live
What he listens to is now what I listen to
Growing up with these songs has forever connected them to him
I remember that I use to get so sick of him always putting on...

What If?
What if?
That’s what I always ask myself
What if something happens
What if something goes wrong
What if I have no control
What if I can’t stop this
What if I get that call
What if I can’t reach anyone
What if no one tells me what’s going on
What if he never leaves that hospital
What if I’m not home in time
What if I never get to build things with him again
What if I never get to listen to his music with him again
What if I never hear his voice again
What if I never see his smile again
What if I never see him again
That’s what I always ask myself
What if something happens
What if something goes wrong
What if I have no control
What if I can’t stop this
What if I get that call
What if I can’t reach anyone
What if no one tells me what’s going on
What if he never leaves that hospital
What if I’m not home in time
What if I never get to build things with him again
What if I never get to listen to his music with him again
What if I never hear his voice again
What if I never see his smile again
What if I never see him again

Mostly unaware of each
Angry thing you say, as if it won’t
Leak into my bloodstream and force my
Imagination to second-guess those
Gangly feelings I push aside, and
Not seeing the sickness I feel is
Acceptance with denial;
Not knowing that I’ve spoken up
Too late

No one prepares you for this
The sleepless nights
The holding back of tears
The shear will it takes to not break into a million pieces
No one tells you how hard it is
To see your dad in pain
Too weak to walk
Relying on you to act like everything is fine and normal and will be okay
Of all the things in my life that have brought me to the edge
This is it
This might nearly kill me
A single word that has forever haunted me since it killed my grandfather when I was seven
A scar so deep, it never fully healed
And now it has a hold of...
