An Air of Mystery
Like a card game
Slowly revealing the cards
With strategy and poise
One can pique interest with mystery and intrigue
As others will take notice
Gaining respect and curiosity
Being a little reserved
Becomes an art form
Between a slow revelation and concealment
Keeping an air of mystery about ourselves
Discretion is an important aspect of our lives
Being a little enigmatic is bound to be appealing
May be even fascinating
Being selective with how much and what to share
This restraint protects the core ...

Justice is a nocturnal animal
always watching
unseen, from the shadows
its scales wavering
may take a while
to climb
those karmic steps
but you can be certain
of one thing—
corruption
is on borrowed time
before being dealt
the same fate
that is not demeaning
what we sow we reap
if not in this life
then the next
and those behind the scenes
in...

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...

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...

What on earth!?
What on earth is happening
What on earth is going on
Can’t keep up with all the calamity
But everything’s going wrong
First my dad gets cancer
Then I find my own mum dead
Now they think I have HIV
And it’s fucking with my head
Just give a girl a fucking break
Let me please chill the fuck out
Need a lie down in a quiet room
It’s stirred up so much doubt
Brother in rehab the year before last
A cousin with a brain tumour too
Got debt coming out my eye balls
And yet I keep plodding on
...

Just Do It.
I apologize my cell phone battery was low I could not even capture the unity of crossing the finish line with my running crew as my first year as a running coach.
My crew did alright for their first run.
One of my running crew members I ask to take a pictured, prior to crossing the finish line were greeted by so many city mascots.
I do love that Cincinnati Red's Baseball Team Mascot... one of the crew members was so choked up she slipped right before she captured the finish line pictures for me.
For my main crew, with us, and when it is cold,...

Maybe you had to die for me to live
Sometimes I worry
that I don’t really miss you as I should.
My daily life was never good
at making space and time for you
(perhaps an unintended legacy
of the independence you encouraged?)
Now that you’re gone from this space and time
the guilt of that failure
has mostly gone with you.
No “when will I see you next?”
or long conversations
at inconvenient times
(oh, how selfish that sounds!)
And though I say I feel grief
what’s often stronger is relief
that I don’t need to filter ...

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

Haunted By The Weeds
Haunted by the weeds, dripping,
with the tinctures of life's dry gin
from the nocturnes of my mind
whispering the quill, etching,
memories haunted by the weeds
of sunsets and avenging twilights
in the archives of my epiphany
with the tinctures of life's dry gin
with the tinctures of life's dry gin
from the nocturnes of my mind
whispering the quill, etching,
memories haunted by the weeds
of sunsets and avenging twilights
in the archives of my epiphany
with the tinctures of life's dry gin

Because chopping boards sound like
destruction
in a different skirt
like taut wires
on old pianos
hammering out
their dust
their ache
tools
and nails
and fistfuls
of earthy
silence
that blunt blue button
that wiped out the air
like umbilicals
butchered fresh
from the womb
like police cars
and terror
like your bomb
I have not allowed
to bloom
in a different skirt
like taut wires
on old pianos
hammering out
their dust
their ache
tools
and nails
and fistfuls
of earthy
silence
that blunt blue button
that wiped out the air
like umbilicals
butchered fresh
from the womb
like police cars
and terror
like your bomb
I have not allowed
to bloom
