The Route
Spinning inside my head tonight
Your words left a lasting impression
It’s kinda overwhelming to think
Within the context of your confession
Truths are heavy when laced in guilt
Addiction leaves tiny splinters inside
What you felt was the bricks you carry
Veiled by liquid courage and selfish pride
There is no judgement in this room
Being a witness to every single doubt
I’ll help you return to former glories
Because I memorized the entire route
Your words left a lasting impression
It’s kinda overwhelming to think
Within the context of your confession
Truths are heavy when laced in guilt
Addiction leaves tiny splinters inside
What you felt was the bricks you carry
Veiled by liquid courage and selfish pride
There is no judgement in this room
Being a witness to every single doubt
I’ll help you return to former glories
Because I memorized the entire route

The Painful Train Ride
On the LIRR to Penn Station
Hot
Thick
I can smell myself
The floor is covered with garbage
I see a girl on the platform when we stop at the next town
I wish
I wish I could lift myself from this seat and touch her
I don't want to break her arm though
Do you want to know me?
My pain would crush your rib cage
I could love you
I wish I could stop running

Finally My Dream
Once, I had a dream
That was not my own
I tried so very hard
To nurture the seeds that were sown
As with all dreams
I woke up
Realizing that was not my luck
That was not my drive
That was not at all that kept me alive
I took a breath so deep
That I could feel the ground
Through the concrete on the street
Dreams have come to me and slipped away
I refuse to let go
I command it to stay
If they were not for me
Let them believe I was in the dark
My eyes have adjusted
Yet they still see no...
That was not my own
I tried so very hard
To nurture the seeds that were sown
As with all dreams
I woke up
Realizing that was not my luck
That was not my drive
That was not at all that kept me alive
I took a breath so deep
That I could feel the ground
Through the concrete on the street
Dreams have come to me and slipped away
I refuse to let go
I command it to stay
If they were not for me
Let them believe I was in the dark
My eyes have adjusted
Yet they still see no...

courage
there is dignity still. yes there is courage
sadness peaks and overpours it must be expressed
let notes of powerful beauty explain
bombs and guns can not silence the soul of the brave
the blood of humanity will cry out to the heavens, hear the Ukraine
rising on the winds to reach the hearts of others
yes, I'm still here, feel my pain
in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits
for a moment transported to better days
in an instant all the joyous days spent playing...
sadness peaks and overpours it must be expressed
let notes of powerful beauty explain
bombs and guns can not silence the soul of the brave
the blood of humanity will cry out to the heavens, hear the Ukraine
rising on the winds to reach the hearts of others
yes, I'm still here, feel my pain
in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits
for a moment transported to better days
in an instant all the joyous days spent playing...

Collage #2 - Outsider Looking In
I was always on the outside
Looking in
Wasn’t much I wanted in there
Loner type
Like the song by Bob Dylan
Off the album BLONDE ON BLONDE
“Just Like a Woman”
The line … ‘I can’t fit”
So Art called
I jumped in
Many years later I remain
A movement for outside artists
Platform to stand tall
Malcontents, nonconformists, freaks
It’s like your warm embrace
Finally… I fit

ONE OF "THE FEW"
He's one "the Few"
who's still in view,
though not seen a lot
as when they were "hot"
in poster appeal
and wartime newsreel,
for part they did play
in keeping away
attempts to invade -
rained off Goering's parade
that might have been staged
had we become caged
with the occupied
lands in Europe wide.
His medals are the
signs of past glory,
though at great risk earned -
so many crashed, burned
quite literally,
even lost in sea.
Older age has claimed ...

mom's badassery
4 of 30
she was born to a family who had no use for daughters
doting on 3 sons...little girl practically forgotten
shuffled off to live with relatives & boarding school
because her own parents didn't know what to do with her
...or maybe they just couldn't be bothered
I used to believe she was incredibly sheltered
so much in life seemed to shock her
turns out...that wasn't it...
she was reared to be seen...keep quiet & be pretty
most importantly...expected to marry
...within or above her supposed station ...

Roar!
Breathe me in
Unlock that power
Here on in
My love will shower
I'll heal your pain
Fill your nights
Take your strain
This heart invites
Piece by piece
I'll restore
Let me hear
That mighty ROAR!
Unlock that power

Comfort Zone
The gym is out of
my comfort zone
as far as it can get
while i know fitness
can help with body
image & recovery
self love perhaps
so i dived into the
deep unknown got
a try-out session
i felt horribly lost
so uncomfortable
NO idea how the
equipments work
or where to start
so i searched for
solutions to make
it doable found me
a personal trainer
she makes working
out fun & guides me
you got to love a lady
whose name is...

Conjuring your strength
Do you really know what is your strength and courage and perseverance. 🤔 When you feel that you are all alone, within the very foundation of your mind. 🧠 YET you refuse to bend down on your knees, for you remain resilient on standing on your own two feet. WITH the deepness of your own heart. 💖 FOR sure you have the ability to truly manifest, 👁️ that which you want and need, Even if it means there must be a sacrifice. 😔 TO be made of your own self and dignity. For sure everything comes at a price, To not to have to deal with, what you don't...
