SILLY BILLIE YOU'RE SO SILLY
This is the story of Silly Billie
A little boy who was so silly
He lost his friend whose name was Willie
Because he stold candy from his sister Millie.
He didn’t stop there – that Silly Billie
Feeling alone without his friend whose name was Willie
He made a new friend who was just as silly!
Loud and rambunctious and all up-hilly
The librarian, whose name was Chantilly,
Did not like noise nor anyone O so silly!
Influenced by Willie, Silly Billie was given a “Silly Willie”
When he cried out
And the librarian threw him out!

Let’s Take Each Other To Hell One Last Time
I’ve always had a way
with the petrified and scared
despite the way my body pulses
aposematic signals
from the scarred knuckles and hulking frame
to the frown lines etched into my face
and I wonder if it’s
because of a sympathetic-nervous-system response
reminiscent of the times I hid in a closet and read books
my small boy body discoloured in the hue
of the beating I took
adrenaline still pounding through my trembling flesh
or if it was because I didn’t care if I got hurt ...

Amnesia and the taste of pleather
My love notes on your shirt

forehead against mine
scared the shit out of me. again.

fucked me up in what I
can only brand as the

us;
and our version of love
is poison in a diet-coke can
served ice-fucking cold

The Wild Rose
I'm the Gardner
He's the Wild Rose
It wasn't a whirlwind romance, more like a glacial thaw in a neglected garden, a place where the promise of vibrant blooms lay buried beneath a thick layer of frost and tangled vines.
Year one: I viewed him as a particularly stubborn weed, a thistle masquerading as something potentially useful.
I spent most of my time meticulously weeding around him, convinced he was a detriment to my carefully planned landscape. And, let's be honest, I got pricked. More than once. A sharp word here, a dismissive glance there –...

Through this life
They elders say that through this one life, that you will have encounters that we may never truly understand. FOR each one will be different, than the one before it 🤔 For sure each one will have lessons, that we must learn to navigate through the next, chapter of our lives. FOR nothing in particular in life comes easy 🤨 as it will have challenges that could make you or break you, down to the point of just giving up to fight against the deepness, of that damage of the truth of your heart and spiritual soul.🙏 Your own health of your will being or it could be your mistake...

beggars
His tears heal beggars
He weeps and they cheer
for if the Son of Man may cry
any man may bare his soul
however beaten,
bruised,
unrighteous
and be healed by the rivers
from his pure and unblemished eyes
waters laced with medicine
for even the sickest of mortal
mind or spirit
but why, save for old grudge
must my ugly heart
my blistering eyes,
that pour mercury
the skin that burns raw beneath
my cheeks, aching
from the teeth of rotting quartz
that has burst through them ...

Decisions Need To Be Made
There's a tumor on her spleen, nodules in her lungs, and an even bigger mass than the one they removed two years ago along with her ovaries now pressing on her lower organs and prohibiting proper functions of her bladder and bowel. She called me yesterday asking me to intercede for her and talk to her Dr.
You gotta understand, my mom is such a control freak, nobody takes charge over her life, especially decisions over her health.
Yet here I was, the one who was always incompetent and stupid, now making executive decisions over her care.
It's all so...

We don't talk no more
I would like to have a conversation, with you as man to woman and woman to man. WHY is that you and I don't talk, like we use to do when we first connected, on so many levels of our own opinions. As we exchange thoughts and the subconsciousness, of our thoughts and lives together as one. 🙏 For sure what has changed over time ⌚ in each of our lives, that we never really have time to talk about situations, that we have to face in our lives. 💕 For don't we still have love and support, and understanding to make it easier. TO survive in this hard cold world. 🌍 For...

Dear Self
Dear Self,
I'm so sorry that you have gone through so much pain, that all you wanted to do was violent things even when someone was nice to you.
I'm so sorry that you have gone through so much abuse yet you were never allowed to be the victim, the one truly wronged.
I'm so sorry people have treated you like a Savior when it was convenient for them but then the devil when you had needs.
I'm so sorry that you have learned such deep self-hatred that all you could do for years was hit yourself, thinking you were the problem and no one else. Thinking you...

Unconditional love
"Why do you love me?"
He asked with eyes full of tears
"I don't deserve you"
He said as a tear started to run down his face
"I put you through so much shit,
and you still stay. Why?"
I tried to hold back tears
as his words hurt my heart
I gently explained
"There is this beautiful thing
called unconditional love" I said
A smile lit up his face
I still feel like he doesn't understand
Nothing he could could do
could make me lose my love for this man
Losing him would be worse...

Crazy in love
People tell me I'm crazy
because I won't give you up
They wonder why nothing you do is bad enough
Bad enough for me to run
Bad enough for me to be done
I'll admit I'm crazy
Crazy in love
My love for you out weighs
all the bad you've done
They ask why I don't hate you
The truth is I can't
I can't explain the happiness I feel
when you hold my hand
I've tried to give you up
I've tried to say it's the end
But I always end up running back to you again
When I try to give you up
my heart screams in pain ...
