FORGIVING UNFAITHFULNESS
IN
the ebb and flow
of life there are
bright days, dark days
and nights that seem eternal.
IN
the trials, challenges, and days
when the check comes
in the mail; we are continually
reminded that we are human
operating with freedom of choices,
and some choices aren't good.
I
know I overreacted when I discovered
your unfaithfulness--it's that human
side again. But there was, and is,
stronger than hurt in my heart and soul
and that is forgiveness; not because
you asked me,
BUT
because I deeply,...

papercut Romeo
I play chords with hands
that bruise when they caress
fingers that write verses of worship
leavin trails of wounds when they touch
she collects my paper thin alibis
songs half written
poems torn along the edges
and keeps them in her bedside drawer
where my best intentions sleep
ivory keys remember my failures
black and whites absolutes
played by hands who only understand gray
coaxin fractions of beauty
from things that won’t bleed
they call me papercut Romeo
for the way my love cuts without...

I love you Lucifer style daddy and angel style daddy to specifically
dear daddy I love you
do you not know brenda is actually me?
without question do not marry another e instead of me
I will be cross with you if you do
I am stuck in an immortal prison
it's dark here but brenda has made me safety extra safety
because auroa is frightened
daddy I'm explaining to auroa daddy has safety goggles on
he think we love the devils
I am mad at you daddy
you just married the dragon
he looks like a cherbum
he is a bum who looks like a mutt to me
he didn't save the aborted babies
brenda...

can we start over?
They say time heals all things
and I don't know if those words
are true or just something
the wounded say to themselves
I've lived through things
I thought wouldn't get better
and still woke up one day
with lungs full of air
and a smile for the sunshine
Can we start over and leave
these demons behind?
let the past fade
to lessons learned
I want to let go
of all the things I fear
find happiness
in the adventures to come
But I've rocked up to...

How Long [Redux]
There are times when a man needs to back down from his strength
And remember his weakness…
The way isn’t always easy to see but the feeling is unmistakable
My heart has missed you
You who are closest to me…
And how can that be
Have you learned to live around me instead of with me?
If I think I lead
Where have I lead us to
A place where we each go our own way
And say we’re together
Can I still touch the part of you that thought I was everything?
Because I so desperately want to feel like that person again
Would you...
And remember his weakness…
The way isn’t always easy to see but the feeling is unmistakable
My heart has missed you
You who are closest to me…
And how can that be
Have you learned to live around me instead of with me?
If I think I lead
Where have I lead us to
A place where we each go our own way
And say we’re together
Can I still touch the part of you that thought I was everything?
Because I so desperately want to feel like that person again

the Banana skins of Bedevilment
the Banana skins of Bedevilment
(Twenty-Two of 30 -- Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2019)
Scuttling along like a pill bug in confusion.
I have to stay away today; I should have asked,
“ For how long? “
but I ran to get away from discomfort as fast as
my fucking stupid anti-intimate self could ferry.
Moving amidst darkness and the occasional headlight
I discover that teasing is not always received very well
poor reception, weak frequencies, resonating unkind

Things You Could Do That Would Hurt me More
Rip through my flesh
- anywhere, no need to be picky -
with a medium quality knife
like from one of those red handled sets Target sells.
Pour whatever stings most into the wound;
you'd know better than me.
Sew me back up slowly with a thick, rusty needle,
while some of the worst songs ever recorded are playing
like Bette Davis Eyes
or almost anything by Michael Bolton.
Put together a montage of video clips
of gut-wrenching cruelties,
the abject horrors that crush my soul
-racism, cruelty to animals, bullying-

Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Eagerly you build your own bird cage
Accusements, anger and revenge
Are the bars surrounding you
Like in a never-ending loop
You replay hurtful experiences
In front of your inner eye
Forgive!
Forgive freely!
Forgive others!
Forgive yourself!
Your plumage has turned pale
Your song doesn't sound happy anymore
Now is the time to let go of
Resentments, trouble and despair
All the self-destructive feelings
You have carried far too long
Forgive! ...

the innocents
what happened to George
Floyd was racist, those police officers
deserve all they get, and yet,
spare a thought for their wives and
their kids are left reeling
at the quite sudden turn of events
