Pretty Women are Smiling at Me
I don't know what it is
Possibly my new skin cancer scar
Is that possible ?
It's healing nicely
Looks like the remnants of a bar fight
Not the action I usually go for
Poet's are lovers and thinkers
I'll take those smiles though
Fucking cancer has to be good for something
Possibly my new skin cancer scar
Is that possible ?
It's healing nicely
Looks like the remnants of a bar fight
Not the action I usually go for
Poet's are lovers and thinkers
I'll take those smiles though
Fucking cancer has to be good for something

Chemical State of Mind
I don’t work, I don’t fuck only eat and rarely shit
That’s why this year I’m on my third selfish-ass bitch,
“The life I live they truly hate it
Now grandma’s giving me an enema, because I’m constipated,
“The chemo for the cancer is eating me alive
Couldn’t make it to the bathroom now shit is running down my thighs,
“Embarrassed and words of comfort-I don’t want to hear it
Because my soul is hurt, sprinkled with a shattered spirit,
“Soiled clothes on the floor, shitty rag in the sink
Asshole naked on the toilet as I start to think, ...

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...

Scars
Breast Cancer Scars Are Body Modification That Saves a Life
No amount
of scarring
can erase
the beauty
and substance
of you.
Who you are
remains
unchanged.
Your essential nature
is as beautiful
and wholesome
as on the day
of creation.
And my hands
never get tired
of tracing the fullness
that is your soul.

If it ain’t 1 thing, it’s another, n’ another, n’ another...
So goes this haggard life
Abundantly over-rung the pain n’ strife
Momma done gone down, suffered to bare
Tumultuous weight, a cancer scare
Week run by, results are nil for now
Still operations’ removed, gall bladder afoul
Cousins decree, our generation...first
hospitalized neighbored near momma
likely they’re Sharin’ exact same nurse
Admitted for ‘mystery ailment’ of spine
Fear led her to escape, nowhere now
can staff nor family find...
Dear sweet niece, a true beauty to behold
A late night argument with beau...

The Double Image (Portraits)
I made you to find me'
'It doesn't matter if there are wars,
the business of life continues
unless you're the one that gets it'
-Anne Sexton
I went around in circles writing the empty vernacular,
writing it out in reams until it stood for something.
The dead heart followed along, musing me.
Why are the words so empty?
They echo, those words, rat-tat-tat and ka-ching
as the hills of my mother's bounty became flattened.
Each faint pulse of her heart, a wind of the ribbon ink,
and sentences...

two short extemporaneous poetry.. of these hard~ heavy 'kaliyug' times
1.
:: impervious... ::
...she’s now .
to nature. Its light & love
the benumbing cancers gang her up
to a mere skeletal eaten up caricature
& yet to a massive ticking distortional mess…
the slightest of incitement to explode...
are these stigmatic quarantining- the
obligately insane... staring forever..
their rock-hardened cold eyes-
unknown to lukewarm tears... of
an overbrimming love... & mercy..

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 ...

f**k you cancer
Why in the fuck
did you think
you could take him from me?
Do you know who the fuck you are up against?
I am all you wish you could destroy, but lives
He is more than what I am
He is the air I breathe
He is my soul
He is my heartbeat
He is the smile on our teens lips
He is the blood of life that keeps me alive
Hes made me everything I wanted to be
He loves me
Hes always loved me...
So, cancer FUCK YOU
You cant have him
NO. FUCKING. WAY.
Hes Mine
Ill fight for him
Come for me
Im...

I Just Can't Put You Through This
I was doing just fine alone with my illness
Why did you have to come into my life?
This is happening at the wrong time
I have brain cancer, it’s an incurable disease
Medical science can’t do anything more for me
How could you love me when I’m dying?
My condition is worsening day by day
What will you do when my body starts to deteriorate?
I shan’t look the same way I do now.
Will you be able to cope with the situation?
It will be an unpleasant sight to behold
If I lose my sanity, I couldn’t appreciate your love
You say no...

Ice and Roses (repost)
Quantifying heartache on the scale of time
All the firsts reopen the wounds
And occasions can only be so special without you
Despite theoretical hopes
My faith's will to reminisce
Imagination is all I've got
But my mind can't fake true happiness
Relapse in sadness
I medicate as I live in madness
When the heart is lost for withdraws
And the pages are my vice
I'll write a thousand letters to you
But you're the missing part of a moment's paradise
Good advice given to lull the absence
All the beautiful...
All the firsts reopen the wounds
And occasions can only be so special without you
Despite theoretical hopes
My faith's will to reminisce
Imagination is all I've got
But my mind can't fake true happiness
Relapse in sadness
I medicate as I live in madness
When the heart is lost for withdraws
And the pages are my vice
I'll write a thousand letters to you
But you're the missing part of a moment's paradise
Good advice given to lull the absence
All the beautiful...
