Rest In Peace
I just buried
Another failed relationship
R.I.P.
It started out fun
Like romances always
Seem to do
But the more I knew about
The man, the less
I cared for him
I'm proud of myself
For once seeing
A relationship for
What it was and
Not for what
I wanted it to be
And having the strength
To let go of it
Before it killed my
Self esteem and
Self tespect
Another failed relationship
R.I.P.
It started out fun

What it was and
Not for what
I wanted it to be
And having the strength
To let go of it
Before it killed my

hallelujah
the red of you
dazzled my eyes
so I plucked them out
in the darkness, I grew
morbid thoughts of hallelujahs
at midnight
saw me shaken
I ate the bitter pill of sin
my flesh it ruled
so I put on a new skin
it fits tight
I feel strangled
I rebel against the notion
of crows mocking me
inside my plight
in hell, I found myself free
with knowledge I navigate
stepstones of glass
see through pits of danger
I hopscotch out
leading the way
for...

Escape from Normal
Key Lime getaway
Nothing but pie
Sliding into your tart aura
Leave all earthlings behind ..

Russian roulette

it's never been my immediate go-to
drowning my emotions in the contents of a bottle
not much point...
when it takes so little to knock me on my ass
& when I do...it's equal odds...
it might distance me from the haunting...
...or it could cause me to wallow
no way to be sure
still...
I load that weapon with a single shot
take my chances & spin the chamber
just on the off chance I might escape the pain
then reel off toward whichever death it leads me
if...even for a minute...there's any hope to be...

shedding this skin
i feel
walled in,
towering
stone
buildings,
it's time
to be
moving on,
no more
unnatural
lights
over me,
i need
that winged
breeze,
to find
that peace,
move on,
part ways
and let
tomorrow
devour
everything
behind me.

THE SMILE OF A STRANGER (INSPIRED BY NIZANA POEM)
The smile of a stranger
made me wonder: "Danger?"
when his smile I returned
as my hot desires burned.
Was I being too free
with my territory?
What hurt was I taking
for chance of 'lovemaking'?
He passed on his way
with breezy "Good day!"
and to my relief
as if dodged a thief.
made me wonder: "Danger?"

and to my relief

Elysian Nights
I wish a place for all of us
Washed by the beams of a full moon
Upon a strand of bright nimbus
With the musical spheres in tune;
Where with angel sight I might see
The warped reaches of deepest space,
Using an Olympic clarity
Only immortals could embrace,
And I would wish wings for such skies
To match such awesome sight, with flight,
From lunar sundown to sunrise
And over everything else at night...
Where I'd always be wide awake,
Anticipating daybreak!
Washed by the beams of a full moon
Upon a strand of bright nimbus
With the musical spheres in tune;
Where with angel sight I might see
The warped reaches of deepest space,
Using an Olympic clarity
Only immortals could embrace,
And I would wish wings for such skies
To match such awesome sight, with flight,
From lunar sundown to sunrise
And over everything else at night...
Where I'd always be wide awake,
Anticipating daybreak!

Butterflies don’t get trapped in spider webs, so I must be something different…
this web of my own choosing
I even helped to build
its supporting structure
has upheld me
and those I love
through countless trials
invisible, sticky strings
of friendship
holding tight
preventing flight
I don’t want to tear the fabric
for those who still belong
but they’re too heavy to take with me
I am afraid to fly
alone.
I don’t know where I’m going
and I am afraid to stay
grounded
lest my wings (soul) dry up
drop off
the path...

Contemplation and escape...
A thin trail of coffee aroma touched her soul strings.
And the rays of the spring sun played in a light haze in the quiet of the apartment.
In the soft foam of the airy drink, she built her castles.
The smell of coffee, caressing her thoughts, carried away far from the earth.
Dreams of happiness swirled over her, making her forget about the world and herself.
A cup of coffee in itself embodied a sensitive trembling, exciting fear.
And in a pleasant woody haze, taking a sip of fragrant darkness,

love, disappointment and doubt
like raw meat thrown
across a butcher's
block waiting for
the cleaver
a black eye by the
play ground bully
a dog running away
in fear of the bone
a God who eschews
worship
the sky becoming too
tired to hold itself
aloft in the firmament
the disappointment in
pasta that is not al
dente
I will not say I love you
forever
forever came and went
a long time ago
I will not speak of your
beauty
beauty is in the gun...
