Put It ToThe Test
I am, inherently,
an emotional restrictor
as was my father before me
and his before him
keeping strong emotions contained
particularly anger,
indignation, and resentment
lest by their expression
I drive away a loved one or friend
for fear of abandonment
is a life-long obsession
But is it not
the most empirical
of litmus tests,
to measure fraternal devotion
when one can express
a panoply of emotion
love, fear, joy, anger, resentment, or grief;
to list a principle few,
without suffering...

Sunday Swan Song
It was the piano that finally made me cry.
I’ve been dispassionate
(to say the least)
about this closure,
knowing that eras end and life goes on –
impatient to rip off the bandage.
Perhaps even a little bitter
about all the years I tried to help
people
think
bigger
even though my faith never completely fit
inside their box.
I think I gave it my best.
I guess they did too –
nurturing me and my kids
through all kinds of storms,
(even when I wasn’t easy to love) ...

Friend Crush
Why do you have to be so cool?
Like that guy
whose reputation arrived first
when my cool friend from New York
told me about her new crush.
He was instantly cool by association.
Unapproachable.
I was certain to say something stupid
reveal myself as a poseur
in the face of his intimidating
punk
silence.
But then we met,
and I got to know him through long chats
backstage at high school musical rehearsals
and he was so very
normal,
insecure, even – which made him...

Hope You Didn't Mind Me Taking A Swim
After hearing a noise, Jonah
went topside and saw Gia
naked and dripping wet on
the poop deck that morning.

Today, Again, We Met
I’ve been blessed to meet,
whilst traveling the universe
on this miniscule speck of dust,
souls with whom I share
Innately empathic traits
as if we were close friends,
frequent playmates
throughout our primordial childhood
this made manifest in this brief existence
when first we speak, call each other by name
smilingly gaze into each other’s eyes
and cosmically embrace
and whisper “I have loved seeing that face…
I have been nourished by that very smile”
I’m certain before time and space
We were...

Sensational Saturday Afternoon
It’s been months
since last I paid a visit
It was good to see
she hadn't changed
I, on the other hand,
after months of cloistering
had allowed my hair
to range free and grow Einstein bushy
not making me look the genius
but rather deranged
I quipped I was there
to shed my winter coat
she laughed politely
while covering my clothes
with a long black cloak
shaver on, scissors at the ready
she mowed, clipped, cut, and snipped
all the while conversing
we spoke of juvenile literature
the scents reminding...

Not All That
Once upon a time,
I thought the problem was that no one
could really
see
me.
That I had somehow erected
almighty, unscalable walls.
You came along
and flicked them aside
like dust.
I saw you, seeing me.
Intoxicated, I had to make sure.
So I stripped down, way beyond skin,
to my very marrow,
stinking and bloody.
Still, you looked, you saw, you consumed.
I daresay you even adored,
or so it seemed
and I adored you back.
I don’t know what diverted...

I Dropped My Towel
Oh, hi. You're Kevin. Right?
Your brother happens to be my roommate.
Welcome to Berea. I'm Diana.
I dropped my towel. Why that look?
Please get your hands off my chest!

Friend to the very end
What had been so long ago
Is only a mist in the snow
And for the cleanses that once had been made
Are simply my sins that did fade
And for what we've become is only ecstasy
And a dream, a vision of pure misery
Let me be the one to tell you all
Of hell's resurrection and heaven's fall
Sleep sweet damned woman for you are
Caused him to triumph and forever will abide
Always will be by his side
Moon demon, celestial star gazer
Be a comfort to me and not curse my kin
Wise of all liars, stalked from the start
And not...
Is only a mist in the snow
And for the cleanses that once had been made
Are simply my sins that did fade
And for what we've become is only ecstasy
And a dream, a vision of pure misery
Let me be the one to tell you all
Of hell's resurrection and heaven's fall
Sleep sweet damned woman for you are
Caused him to triumph and forever will abide
Always will be by his side
Moon demon, celestial star gazer
Be a comfort to me and not curse my kin
Wise of all liars, stalked from the start
And not...

He Really Is In Trouble
Heard my friend complaining again.
I turned around and saw him naked.
He was also humping some other chick.
He really is in trouble.
I turned around and saw him naked.
He was also humping some other chick.
He really is in trouble.

Games
One of my favorite pastimes is games
Board games, video games, card games
Almost anything you can think of
They are a perfect escape
From super easy to extremely complex
It's hard to find a game I do not enjoy
I love the adventure they take me on
And the endless laughter with friends and family
We get into so much shenanigans
And create many inside jokes
Some games I enjoy all by myself
With a cup of tea, a snack, and my heated blanket
Either way, games make the perfect vibe
Board games, video games, card games

They are a perfect escape
From super easy to extremely complex

We get into so much shenanigans
And create many inside jokes

Galaxy 500
Hey lady, are you going my way?
Hop in, there's nothing more to say
We'll find a spot underneath the moon
Sit back and we'll listen to some tunes
You'll experience the universe & stars
Plastic Jesus on the dash of my car
Jupiter, Neptune are waiting for you
I'll push the seat back for you to get a better view
We hit drive through the tail of the comet
I have a bag, in case you need to vomit
Whenever it feels right
Galaxy 500, faster then the speed of light
Hop in, there's nothing more to say
We'll find a spot underneath the moon
Sit back and we'll listen to some tunes
You'll experience the universe & stars
Plastic Jesus on the dash of my car
Jupiter, Neptune are waiting for you
I'll push the seat back for you to get a better view
We hit drive through the tail of the comet
I have a bag, in case you need to vomit
Whenever it feels right
Galaxy 500, faster then the speed of light
