NOT IN YOUR DNA .
I’m never going to play games with your heart. I know how battered it’s been, you cry in the dark at times. It’s been kicked like a football just for fun they were never aiming for the goal but did it anyway. Hurt people hurt others.
I don’t wanna make you feel less than you are. I know words hurt just as much as a fist and that’s hard to digest it gets stuck in your throat and gives you heartburn.
I wanna ease your mimd when we talk and I’ll be honest, I don’t want you to remain in a cage of insecurity and pain. I want to set you free with loving kindness so...

Spaces
To live is to endure small spaces
There’s no room to grow in this fishbowl
Full of sharks
When they go belly up, I will turn this pond
Into my own little ocean

Clownish
Tears of a clown
Blood red droplets
Trickle down
On a deathly white face
The smile
Fixed, and somewhat surreal
With a nose
Like one of Santa's reindeer
(without the antlers)
Baggy trousers
Sagging ambitions
The reward sought for
A smile
But sometimes fear
As the smile
Becomes a grimace
A snarl
Accompanied by maniacal laughter
That echoes
As though from the pits of hell
Fearsome, and nightmarish
Then the inevitable scream
I run to escape
Then suddenly realise
That this...

Memory Etchings
Today
I'm swinging outside
Feet touching clouds
Really living right
Days winding down
Wind's picking up
Leaves crying out
Trees bending away
Birds flying together
Chimes chiming loud
Hear everything stop
Skies growing green
Blinds, closing tight
Mom calling out
Arms waving 'Here'
Inside, running back
Siren's droning starts
TV's warning tone
Memory etching sounds
Upstairs, Rushing down
Cellar, huddling close
Makeshift bedding among
Armoire, hiding inside
Lights loosing life ...

she said, "I think we should, try...."
this isn't a "love" poem; wasn't quite sure what to call it-or if to even drip ink off pen; there's a part of me-a very small part of me, that believes in miracles like Whitney Houston....
let's be honest- who can't relate to cramps at the heart that begins initiating one's need for musing; not a fan of valentines day or cupid-or my emotions if with them I'm unable to tune in....
let's say I've been reacquainted with a past cute"friend"-a-rose truly- can't forget the thorns like any roses' true stem....

Nothingness
She can love and admire but not touch . She can feel deeply but not utter a word . She can lose but she accepts it as if was nothing . At times she has won but you would never tell .She feels way to much and in doing so she can’t feel anything now and she can’t give so she doesn’t take .
It’s an utter nightmare living in the daylight how do you hide well it’s always behind a smile hung on a crucifix of hopelessness. In reality it’s progressive you lose your ability to be or allow yourself the freedom of choice. You see she sees life as two different opponents good or bad , love and...

Kidnapped
The rickety bus jolted as we were driven across the only real desert in Africa . I'm trying to stay positive pushing back thoughts of how easily it would be for the old bus to break down at any moment
I decided to dismiss the thought because we had finally reached Cape Town. I couldn't wait to see all of it and film everything in sight
But it wasn't in the cards as things changed in a split second. Suddenly , I feared the worse as our bus was flagged down by two men
They were white men that climbed aboard with guns in hand wearing nothing to disguise what they...

My skin between your fingers
Please, touch me gently.
If it is my destiny to be touched,
I pray for it to be done with kindness.
For my skin is not very strong,
and so it is littered with scars.
If I am to be touched,
I pray it is soft and gentle.

If I am to be touched,
I pray it is soft and gentle.

Warm summer's day
Outdoors with friends
Play tag, I'm it
Run through gardens
Cobblestone paths
Too young to sit
Carrying weight
Thrill of the chase
Trying my wit
Cut through the grass
Not watching where
Into black pit
Water above
Sunlight fading
Dark walls unlit
Glee to panic
Thrashing around
Life might acquit
Fear's encounter
My second time
Not yet close-knit
Breathing water
Not really
Choking a bit
Hands from heaven
Pull...

Disorganized Attachment and BPD, the Beast Within
Intensely craving
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself

Unseen
Trek onward to overcome the fear
When it grates my flesh but feeds my spirit all the things I yearn to hear
Truths of grace breaking through
Undeserving yet still I hope in the invisible You
Debts cry to control
Lay claims to the will to reposes by default, my soul
With interests built up, the entitlement of the betrayed
Taken apart, dissect the heart, when my actions are filleted
You’ve every right to reject but still you love when I am unlovely
Fear cast out of perfect affections lavished upon
Beauty from the ashes when...
