A MAN TO HOLD
Our reality forbade me from kissing your lips
And stroking your hair with my fingertips.
All I could do was hold your hand
When I traveled the distance to a different land
Just to see you for a quick little hour
And I gladly took that power.
How I longed to know how you kissed
And a touch of a man, oh how I missed.
How much it pained me, you have no clue,
To not be able to cuddle up with you.
Sitting across from you, my mind slowly would drift away
And all we had for memories were conversations from day to day.

The time is a rashness of seventeen or El Salvador I love you as a country
Your padre had a massage table
set up in the middle of the den
full of rolling r’s. Your friends
who were girls or the other way
scooted around it bee-lined
to the stove for the beans and rice.
Flowering only for the madre.
I used to be much more
bold, poor little ferret. Tossing white fur
through the air onto your dreaming face.
Arms around not me.
I’d want to apologize
to it, getting the wily messenger
involved and all. That...

Cheers To A New Year
I left the door wide open
Hoping we could make amends
Giving time...to see if you’d come back
Perhaps not as what we once shared
But perhaps a distant acquaintance or friend.
I longed for your return
Waited through the passing of days and flipping of months
To embrace your return.
I had so much to share with you
So much to tell with little time
I reached out a couple times
Hoping you’d walk through my opened doors.
But you would have rathered kept the nonsense
The meaningless excuse for anger ...

The Lady Blue (About The Baby)
Life isn't always so easy in the Big Easy. You'll see what I mean. Not too long after Gary and I tied the knot, I turned up pregnant. That was the good part but then the dreams began. My baby was going to be a beautiful blessing in our lives when born. However, I was having dreams I couldn't shake off of something bad happening to the child. I just didn't understand why they were happening.
It's true that not all of my dreams come true. That is a good thing. The problem with it is I never know one way or the other. It's just the way it goes for me.

Wake Up!
Time marches on, relentless, unstirred,
Unaware of events,
Events that might alter
The very essence of our shared realm.
The cosmic web shifts, threads anew,
Neither the present
Nor the future
Can claim certainty's helm.
A mist obscures our collective sight,
Save for a few who stand in the light.
Fed with spoonfuls of crafted tales,
Our minds shaped to fit their scales.
We wander through life's foggy veil,
Like somnambulists on a well-trodden trail.
Conditioned beings in an endless cycle,

I Wish I Felt You Not
In our night lit with
torn, gin-stained stockings
bound by realized requests
diluting to the undesirable;
enmeshed within roles we
resisted, and yet yearning for
but where we began, in the
wholeness of hope-soaked,
faraway love; nothing less.

I am
I’m sorry for being
I didn’t chose it either
I’m bound to your wife
Not because I want to be here
I’m sorry if you see me as
Disrespectful and lazy
And that we both know the fact
That time won’t change me
I’m sorry how I am
But does that justify
The way you’re screaming at my head
Every time I missed a right?
The accusations that you make
Behind my back
Behind charades
I guess it’s hard
To be that way
I know your life’s not easy
Neither is mine
And every time that you don’t talk
You don’t...

and rachael for her children cry
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end

the fiercely barking hand grenades
and other weapons wars have made
are never idle in the hands
of those who set out to invade
the sanctity of sovereign lands.

Redemption
Your words brawling
behaviour appalling
in quarrel you demean
Attacks are brutal
my resilience crucial
declining to be your victim
Believing your actions
simply minor infractions
knowing not the wounds you leave
…
Upon awakening you regret
hurting those you’re meant to protect
no direct appeal for redemption
Professing your sin
to your God within
assuming you will be saved
My dear, you have been deceived
as only the aggrieved
have the authority to forgive
