Hell
Is this what hell is all about?
Darkness flashing all around.
Lost in a world of my own.
Walking in a crowd all alone.
Why did they all have to leave?
What have I done? tell me please.
I must have deserved this strife.
For all the sins of my life.
Is this all the love I'll ever get?
Everyone gone, all I've ever met.
Hell is but a stroll in the park,
compared to this life in the dark.
Is this what hell is all about?
This must be my fault, no doubt.
Cursed to stay in this land,
with no one to hold my...

I’ll Take a Shot of That
Hell yeah
I’d love me
A shot of Crown
Right about now
Some nice
Warm peach fire
Trailing through
The insides
Sounds delish
But I’m talking
Hard core
The kind of shot
That keeps
You feeling
Alive
Blood thinning injections
Necessary
When you have
A blood clotting disorder
And Your’re stuck
On your ass
Twenty-four-seven
For six weeks
What?
You thought
I meant the
Good stuff?
I wish ...

Rooster Rhyming Rhetoric
One summer I was in my pool when a rooster arrived
Two doors down he would crow with pride
In my town, it's illegal to own
Constantly crowing, I picked up the phone
Authorities came, the owner was fined
Situation continued, nothing rectified
Endless noise throughout the year
How much more will I need to hear?
Every morning he woke me up around five
One day I paid a visit, shot him, and he died
Two doors down he would crow with pride
In my town, it's illegal to own
Constantly crowing, I picked up the phone
Authorities came, the owner was fined
Situation continued, nothing rectified
Endless noise throughout the year
How much more will I need to hear?
Every morning he woke me up around five
One day I paid a visit, shot him, and he died

Rage
I looked trouble
In the eye
Acted swiftly
To deal with it
But I'm skeptical
Of people now
Am I angry?
No, this is
Closer to rage
At how the
World is so full
Of hatred
Rude people
The ungrateful ones
Who try to make
You miserable
At every opportunity
Why can't you and I
Disagree and
Still be pleasant
Toward each other
So many lost souls
Demanding to
Be heard
In the eye
Acted swiftly
To deal with it
But I'm skeptical
Of people now
Am I angry?
No, this is
Closer to rage
At how the
World is so full
Of hatred
Rude people
The ungrateful ones
Who try to make
You miserable
At every opportunity
Why can't you and I
Disagree and
Still be pleasant
Toward each other
So many lost souls
Demanding to
Be heard

WHAT HAPPENED?
We used to defy
all taboos, cross
all barriers, dare
to take a risk,
say yes against
the odds, taste the
forbidden, indulge
in decadence, and
pick ourselves up after
we were down for the count;
loose our shirt and have
to hitchhike home.
YES! Vegas is what happened
to us and we didn't let
it stay there but we brought
empty pockets with us.
BUT
we're on our way back to
the bright lights and winning
and losing....WOW! Life
gets more exciting every day,
win, lose, or draw...

empty sex
stillness stutters astounded by grace
it is beautiful to my soul your touch
I am a woman of desire
I am weary of my corporeal form it doesn't reflect who I am
green has turn to winter
and yet I burn brighter than ever for you
my eyes tell the tale of great passion
you disturb the surface with me
not looking into the deep pools of need
shallow in your pursuit you will reap your own corruption
a deep greed possesses you
your heart a prisoner to lust
I lust too
I temper mine with wisdom
is it yet...

Pheonix Rises
Every day you tell me
What I
shouldn’t
couldn’t
wouldn’t do
And this may
Holds true for you
But I
Can
Will
And wont comply.
What you deem for me
in this life
I rise everyday
and do what I must
With little complaints
And sometimes I fuss
For you to stand
Infront of me
And dictate
What you want me to be
Will not go well
For you today
I showed you who I was
In every way
So I’m going to tell you
How this will end
With my hand on this...
What I
shouldn’t
couldn’t
wouldn’t do
And this may
Holds true for you
But I
Can
Will
And wont comply.

Micro-Management
You say it’s in my best interest
Well we know that line is bullshit
But that doesn’t stop you does it
There must be something wrong with me
For you to feel the incessant need
To correct my neurodivergencies
Your implicit bias is showing
With every move you’re over-controlling
All these invisible punches that you’re throwing
You’re kindling my rage inside
Tempting fate with all your lies
Injustice blatant in my eyes
You say let’s make a plan
But then you say you can’t
Give me what I ask

I don't give a rat's ass about the weather
I care about the planet
How we humans ruined it
But on a day to day basis
I don't give a flying fuck about it
I work outside
Don't own a car
When it's freezing I layer up
When it's hot I wear less
That's it
Weather obsession is not sexy
It's like wearing beige
Don't be proud of it
Got it ?

She Pondered
It’s what we do as humans, isn’t it?
Compare and contrast the good, the bad and the ugly. It makes us feel better, doesn’t it?
Helping ourselves ease the disappointment of what we perceive we don’t have, versus those whom we perceive TO have, right?
Proverbial grass is greener theory, until the veneer cracks. Dark truths ooze out. As vultures we swoop in to pick the flesh from the rotting corpses. Why?

WHY DO I WAKE?
Why do I wake?
For you, I ache
with a burning
toss-and-turning,
Unrequited
lust is spited
by your absence
from my presence.

disorientation
I can't shake feeling I'm in the wrong time
completely misplaced
a stranger in my own skin
not really meant for this
whatever it is
when the music starts
I never recognize the tune
I'm trying to tango with 2 left feet
watching storms build on the horizon
not worried about thunder
...just the lightning
I keep trying to tuck
...so I can effectively roll
but I'm all tangled in brambles
nowhere to go
bridges are fallen & roads are closed
I don't have a script...
but somehow I've become part...
