Too Late
i weep for
the mistakes
i made, for the
pain i faced
the scars
i can’t erase
...
i weep for
the times
i fled, for the
self destruction
the damage
that can’t
be undone
...
i weep for
years
of solitude
...
i weep for
virginity stolen
...
i weep for
the little girl
that was
scared
& alone
no love
no safety
no place
to call home
...

Collage Art - Not Pretty - What I Do
On purpose
Cut up old paintings
Make collages
This one came out rustic
Added oil pastels
Functional
Not pretty
Life is like that
I’m not pretty anymore
Most parts still working …

Others' poetry
Isn't it exhilarating
how someone's poetry
can ignite a fire within us?
When their words resonate
so deeply, it's like they unlock
hidden chambers in our own hearts,
revealing emotions and thoughts
we hadn't fully realized were there.
Crafting your own verses
becomes more than just writing
it's a dialogue between your soul and theirs,
a harmonious exchange
across the canvas of creativity.
I've always found
that immersing myself
in powerful poetry
not only inspires me
but...

We Live
I Is Me simply isn't the band wagon type
We don't do shit simply because it's tradition or popular
When we breathe, we breathe because we have to
There isn't an attempt to synchonize and breathe as one
We live, so we breathe
We drink water and eat food
Not because everyone else is doing it
But these thing are necessary for us to live in this body
It demands nourishment, although we have a delicate palate
We live, so we eat
We hear because we have been blessed with hearing
We don't like what everyone is screaming at the top of...

watch your six...
I'm not much
...at first glance
quiet
plain Jane
just a house mouse
past my youth
so they ignore me
look right past...
counting me out of the fight
...fools
let me tell you
what this disregarded observer sees
while they're overlooking little ol' me
knowledge is power...
so they stunt our education
making it easier to spoon feed the masses
lies they've disguised as reality
pap with no actual nutrients
the sheep will eat it up
& ask for seconds
they view diversity... ...

Late November
In late November the freezing cold rain remembers
To wash away the dirt and erode the past
So when the fractures in the pavement are watered
They can still grow weeds and flowers
And there, in between imagination and dream
The harshness of reality finally sets in
That amidst the ugly truths and pretty fantasies
I am reminded
I am broken, mended and healing
To wash away the dirt and erode the past
So when the fractures in the pavement are watered
They can still grow weeds and flowers
And there, in between imagination and dream
The harshness of reality finally sets in
That amidst the ugly truths and pretty fantasies
I am reminded
I am broken, mended and healing

You
Reassuring and safe,
I like how I can come to you -
Knowing you will never judge.
Of course you'll express your view.
But everyone follows their own path,
However stupid, however smart.
Understanding, it's what you do!
I turn to you when I feel stuck,
Cos you always have the answer -
Like someone's beautiful mama would.
You hate that expression,
But I find you endearing.
Showed my own mom your image last night -
Asked her what she thought...
'She's nice, Billy,' she said,
Despite knowing nothing...

Teacher's pet
In the depths of night
"At a friend's house"
When shadows dance
Between the sheets
Our secret romance
A student's needs
So pure and true
Within these walls
Teacher's infatuation
Our passion grew
My body yearning
And heart entranced
Our desires...
A forbidden chance
Together we'll defy
My passion filled...
A flame that burns
Our secret kept
And bodies aligned
Through the year
Eyes that glow,
with lust and fire
Teacher, student,
Learning to submit
Forever inspired
"At a friend's house"
When shadows dance
Between the sheets
Our secret romance
A student's needs
So pure and true
Within these walls
Teacher's infatuation
Our passion grew
My body yearning
And heart entranced
Our desires...
A forbidden chance
Together we'll defy
My passion filled...
A flame that burns
Our secret kept
And bodies aligned
Through the year
Eyes that glow,
with lust and fire
Teacher, student,
Learning to submit
Forever inspired

Contradictions Possess
Contradictions possess the soul
the uninhabited body of lusting flesh
much sweeter than last night's bread
insatiable appetite for twigs whelping red
devouring my essential poetic conviction
there was no angel in yesterday's confession
talking with a shadow kissing my ass
"Bless me Father for I have sinned
for something sweeter than last night's bread"
the uninhabited body of lusting flesh
much sweeter than last night's bread
insatiable appetite for twigs whelping red
devouring my essential poetic conviction
there was no angel in yesterday's confession
talking with a shadow kissing my ass
"Bless me Father for I have sinned
for something sweeter than last night's bread"

my self pity is ugly ..
I believe in nothing except
my own culpability, sitting
in the café feeling guilty, of course
I'm sorry and not entirely
for myself, but yes, I worry ..

On Life Journey I Keep Trying
Along with my ego side by side walking
Not ego driven on life journey I keep trying
Carried away by its powers soul losing
A risk of the infection of perfection attaining
A beauty in disguise my self I keep reminding
A challenging inner struggle worth leading
Delving into ego complexities soul transforming
In rivers of inner harmony how I long bathing
Not ego driven on life journey I keep trying
Carried away by its powers soul losing
A risk of the infection of perfection attaining
A beauty in disguise my self I keep reminding
A challenging inner struggle worth leading
Delving into ego complexities soul transforming
In rivers of inner harmony how I long bathing
