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.
I have felt...

The Lady Blue (Torn Between Two Lovers)
I believed Gary when he said we were through so when he showed up at a party Joe and I threw, I was shocked to see him. Not only was he there but he had come alone. I couldn't stop thinking about him and all of the good times we had shared.
Towards the end of the evening, he followed me into the kitchen as I went to get a drink of water from the faucet. I had just set the empty glass in the sink and was turning around when he cornered me in front of the refrigerator.
"You look absolutely stunning," he said pushing me gently against the refrigerator....

The Lady Blue ( The Big Break-up)
Gary had a big mad on and wouldn't listen when I told him nothing happened between me and Joe that afternoon. In the end he softened some but made me promise that I would tell him if Joe ever made a serious play for me.
So things went along the same as before for a while but my relationship with Gary was strained. I had grown fond of Joe but I still loved Gary.
And then things got really messy because Gary suspected that I was sleeping with Joe though it just wasn't true. I was not able to convince him otherwise and he eventually let me go once again.

recovery runs through our morgue
KT tape and sheer ugly will
hold me together
after five hard miles,
and I’m low on both
as my thigh quivers to
keep my knee under me
I stop to water
a tree with
forehead sweat and
angst-filled
swear words
reveling in
my weakness.
A dead person’s
sinew is screwed
into my new knee,
and, fuck if some days
I can't feel the
cadaver’s ghost
asking for it back
My lips stick to my teeth
as my leg shakes.

Opposites
Love’s Hate's
gentle touch enraged strikes
embraces thrashes
the connection. the affection.
Love Hate
is wounded, is laughing,
scared, cruel,
and confused. and amused.
Opposites
stemming
from the same
place.

Forgotten
I’m drinking on a Wednesday
And it isn’t even noon
I try to make the hurt go away
Want to fly over the moon
Each morning when I wake up
This shit starts up again
When the hurting stop?
When will this torture end?
When will I forget what you did?
Replay it all the time
Betrayal that I guess I earned
Deserved it for the lies
Karma found its way to me
And now I have to pay
Pay the price for evil deeds
I pay it every day
I know that I don’t deserve you
Or all you put me through
I...

Forever Worn
Love when it slips through, your fingers. you are left with a discarded cardigan. Its seen better days. It has been worn draped from shoulder's who never felt the weight of the world as it was shared and cared for with a label of delicacy and fibres that withstood the test of durability. A double-knit pearl one knit two with a tight stitch which was entwined. You never realised that years down the line it was exchangeable.
Now your favourite is demoted in an infrastructural remodel. It doesn't seem to meet the new guidelines it’s not considered to be a classic staple piece it...

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...

I Digged It
When I found myself
In a deep hole
I did the only thing
I knew to do-
I stopped digging
In a deep hole
I did the only thing
I knew to do-
I stopped digging

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
