inspiration
The journey
from the womb
to the grave,
and the heart
and mind
involved in this
journey,
inspires me
to pick up the pen
and write...
The dry and wet garden
of life, and the plants
of laughter and sorrow
growing in it,
inspire me to
write something...
The time
growing between
craving and satisfaction,
the people walking
holding the hands
of coincidence
and separation,
which inspires me
to carve words on paper...
The young couple ...

boundaries
1. Don't break the boundaries
that self promise
that keeps you safe
2. Love is like sky diving
with less of a death wish
you'll never know
how alive you are
unless you free fall
3. I know your skin
as well as I know my own
your scent familiar
and comforting
even in those moments
I want to hate you
but can't
4. Fear is just temptation
in disguise
there's almost nothing
I can't and haven't conquered
when I've set my mind to it
5. Sometimes my spontaneity feels like...

Kneel Unto Heaven Stand Upon Faith (The Book of Esther)
Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.
Harriet Tubman
Heritage to Queens and Kings to proclaim battles with written declarations of one's sovereignty with unspoken philosophical weapons
Twisted tongues in life, adaption of its feeble scorn
In the hereafter, I have glimpsed mortality to give hearts reprisal upon reborn
To the keepers of the wind, fire, air, and of the sea
The fourscore entwined, defined of mouths when...

in the nineteen seventies
old and damp victorian terraces were the sort of houses lived in the ‘sixties uncle dave always
wore a trilby when he went out
and an overcoat and a cigarette in his mouth; he died in his sixties
wore a trilby when he went out
and an overcoat and a cigarette in his mouth; he died in his sixties

Save My Bacon
The sounds of echoes silently ring
anointing me with a good sense
to escape Satan's picket fence
then comes the breath of life
with a hoedown in the golden swing
to save my bacon
and bless the little Cheetos
anointing me with a good sense
to escape Satan's picket fence
then comes the breath of life
with a hoedown in the golden swing
to save my bacon
and bless the little Cheetos

Storm’s Reckoning
She was a force in the bar,
a slip of heat in midnight’s haze,
her hips swayed like music, slow and sure,
dark hair wild, flowing down her back
like thunder waiting to break.
Storm, they called her
fitting, I thought,
she had a body built to ruin peace,
lips like fire, eyes that caught,
and hips that dared the night to dream.
She slipped close, a whisper of heat,
hand on my shoulder, her nails like claws,
fingers tracing the line of my jaw
as she grinned up, a flash of sin. ...

He Hears Her
He hears her
he listens to her voice
in his phone voice message
made many days ago
he listens for her footsteps
lights up when he sees her
sits quietly as she passes by
smiling at him casually
she touches his arm
'take care and stay safe
you must take your medication
see you again next Wednesday'
he goes home
father grandfather husband
sits quietly to eat his salad
alone in a household of noises
he sits at the balcony
looking out into the city lights
as quiet as...

When life's in a shit
When your life
is in a shit
Don't dodge it!
Instead,
Take it in your hand,
Even if it smells as bad
as it can.
Smear it on the face,
who tripped you in
such a place.
Let the jackass know
that it's your motto-
"I can handle anything
whatever life brings in!"
is in a shit
Don't dodge it!
Instead,
Take it in your hand,
Even if it smells as bad
as it can.
Smear it on the face,
who tripped you in
such a place.

that it's your motto-
"I can handle anything

Gothic Cowgirl
Gothic Cowgirl
Pioneer princess of the red darkness
A fearless falconess
Whose scarlet plaits wander down scarf
While serious Russian lipstick gaze
Rises like the resurrection prophecy
Her sidelong look dares cowboys
To stare too long for her blue shooting stars
Whose bulletproof shield is a merciless blouse
That gathers desire in a tigress web
That broaches no trespass
From hard-muscled plains boys
Who she rolls in her hayloft
Her Bastille smoked by fiery rubber trees
When the bra dungeon burns
With...

Meet His Friends Night
Tonight's the night
the "meet his friends" night
I'm ready for this
nervcited (nervous excited) even
and it's gone great so far
I've had a couple of drinks
and took a taste
of Mark's
ginger ale & whiskey
something something
I don't think he
noticed how strategic
I was putting my lips on
the same exact spot as his
It made me smile
with each calculated sip
We were fixing to call it a night
when the Karaoke DJ decided ...

Hymn to Plunderers
When I think of all who have come
to rape this land of its bounties
vikings
romans
tories
I wonder if the land itself
is where we learn
our Britishness:
we do not crumble
in the taking of treasures,
we thrive in times
of deep agony
healing over
and over again
just as she
was pillaged
robbed
sacrificed
in the name of
gold & greed.
There’s a lot to be said
about the spirit of place
how to be British
is to be made of steel
...
