Our healing village is down by the levee in New Orleans. I am deep in Psyche hospital funk. I am curled in a ball on the couch in a fetal pose. My mind is afloat in a Sargasso Sea of drugged peace.
The mind doctors take me off all my meds. I am alert and sitting for a change. Sarah and Pamela, who are counselors, walk by me. Sarah looks at me. “Paul did you know Pamela poses nude for artists in the French Quarter? You should come to a showing of her at the gallery after discharge.”
“That sounds like my cup of tea,” I reply, moon-eyed.

Question
I already seen the past
Now I just wanna know the question
What the fuck am I to be learning
If "that's" the lesson?
Who tracks the quest then?
When I lack suggestions?
Tired of standing backwards
Guessing
So safe in my puddle
All the answers reflecting
The rain she come cleanse me
But she keeps me...
The best thing?
The world rushes past
I do my dance
Do I lessen?
Shush, that’s depressing
Even fools do half a spin
that’s just destined
So I make what’s mine?
That’s not a question
Now I just wanna know the question
What the fuck am I to be learning
If "that's" the lesson?
Who tracks the quest then?
When I lack suggestions?
Tired of standing backwards
Guessing
So safe in my puddle
All the answers reflecting
The rain she come cleanse me
But she keeps me...
The best thing?
The world rushes past
I do my dance
Do I lessen?
Shush, that’s depressing
Even fools do half a spin
that’s just destined
So I make what’s mine?
That’s not a question

Echoes of Relapse
It comes in the night, as you lay in your bed,
you think you are safe, then it creeps in your head.
It whispers in your ear to come out and play,
"You know that you want to, you've been thinking about it all day."
It holds me tight, promises it'll all be okay,
It'd have to be right? I watched 5 leave today.**
Now that the thought has been placed in my brain,
It's really appealing, I can feel in it in my veins.
I'm ready to go, like you already knew,
but hold up real quick, let's play the tape through:
I'm heading back to Kensington,...
you think you are safe, then it creeps in your head.
It whispers in your ear to come out and play,
"You know that you want to, you've been thinking about it all day."
It holds me tight, promises it'll all be okay,
It'd have to be right? I watched 5 leave today.**
Now that the thought has been placed in my brain,
It's really appealing, I can feel in it in my veins.
I'm ready to go, like you already knew,
but hold up real quick, let's play the tape through:
I'm heading back to Kensington,...

What I didn't see on TV
If this woman is bald
and that man does braids
stop shitting and join the dance.
The rhythm pulses, bodies move
eyes meet, smiles meet.
In the center of the track the energy grows
arms rise, feet glide,
the sound envelops, the soul is freed.
Every step is a story told
each turn is a moment lived.
Dance unites, transforms and transcends
and in the end we are all one.
Lights flicker, shadows lengthen,
fragmented moments in time,
the harmony of a silent symphony.
Feet that stumble, hearts...
and that man does braids
stop shitting and join the dance.
The rhythm pulses, bodies move
eyes meet, smiles meet.
In the center of the track the energy grows
arms rise, feet glide,
the sound envelops, the soul is freed.
Every step is a story told
each turn is a moment lived.
Dance unites, transforms and transcends
and in the end we are all one.
Lights flicker, shadows lengthen,
fragmented moments in time,
the harmony of a silent symphony.
Feet that stumble, hearts...

Hurt un-rhymed
Arching hurt that withers all, with positives reversed
pastures overgrown, the bandages of pretty words
can`t staunch the tears I blurt.
Outlooks spring that once did spurt, its joy,
laughing so with glee. once a leat
now just barren powdered dirt.
I search and search for the healing church
that now seems so inert
prayer would help me to convert,
find my life and all its mirth. Restored
to rid me of this angel`s curse, disperse
the pain, and garland me less worse
that analgesic, or damn me with a will so curt!

Water
Water is the fluid that moves everything in our bodies, including our neural pathways.
(Well, for neural pathways, it is more like the medium for electricity, but still drink water for thought and movement.)

To Be
To be torn from innocence
To be laughed at
To be humiliated
To be doubted
To be doubting self
To be discounted
To be harrassed
To be challenged
To be bullied
To be attacked
To be beaten up
To be discarded
To be spat on
To be judged
To be hated
To be confined
To be raped
To be brave
To be stubborn
To be tough
To be focused
To be persevering
To be better
To be released
To be vindicated
To be a survivor
To be reborn
To be laughed at
To be humiliated
To be doubted
To be doubting self
To be discounted
To be harrassed
To be challenged
To be bullied
To be attacked
To be beaten up
To be discarded
To be spat on
To be judged
To be hated
To be confined
To be raped
To be brave
To be stubborn
To be tough
To be focused
To be persevering
To be better
To be released
To be vindicated
To be a survivor
To be reborn

Mirror
All that you are
All that you see
All that you do
It is reflected in me
Everything you think
Everything you say
Everything you believe
It comes back your way
The sins you may commit
The lies you may tell
The hatred you may harbor
Designs your private hell
If empathy is practiced
If love can mend a heart
If forgiveness is earned
You have done your part
My fate is in your hands
My worth is told by you
My role is as your mirror
We can see it through
All that you see
All that you do
It is reflected in me
Everything you think
Everything you say
Everything you believe
It comes back your way
The sins you may commit
The lies you may tell
The hatred you may harbor
Designs your private hell
If empathy is practiced
If love can mend a heart
If forgiveness is earned
You have done your part
My fate is in your hands
My worth is told by you
My role is as your mirror
We can see it through

Therapy
With soul in hand and heart on sleeve
a distant light should i believe
will someday wash all over me
if only I would choose to see
Unlock the door shake off the dust
forgive yourself and learn to trust
that all is not forever lost
a life must live at any cost
This be a journey wrought with pain
I know I'll never be the same
afraid little boy in his room
the man emerged is coming soon
I faced a problem yesterday
and did not choose to run away
another win each time I stay
so back to therapy today
a distant light should i believe
will someday wash all over me
if only I would choose to see
Unlock the door shake off the dust
forgive yourself and learn to trust
that all is not forever lost
a life must live at any cost
This be a journey wrought with pain
I know I'll never be the same
afraid little boy in his room
the man emerged is coming soon
I faced a problem yesterday
and did not choose to run away
another win each time I stay
so back to therapy today

For a lonely heart
Through this message I send to you a silent prayer 🙏 THAT it just might be something that you need to hear, from the deepness of another heart once broken. 💔 THAT it was filled with so much pain, that it is nothing but mere 😭 tears that won't take away the pain. FOR sure it maybe hard right now. 🙏 But yet they say, that love is a hurting thing, for anyone to bear on any given day, 🤨 For sure that no one is sent to you by chance or accident. 🤔 For sure with each relationship, it's not what it really seems, as it becomes a mind game, that...

alchemical
your body holds the score
of all the pain you bore before
you found the strength
to fight these crimes of treason
is it not overkill?
we’re stepping through the blood we’ve spilled
staring into the eyes of an unexpecting victim
the shackles of shame have become my grave
can I hold on to my faith?
or is it written in my fate?
the lies they told me lacerate
stripping me down to the core of my pain
can I let go of my blame?
another season another game
we are not the same. I am the rain
seeping...
of all the pain you bore before

is it not overkill?
we’re stepping through the blood we’ve spilled

the shackles of shame have become my grave
can I hold on to my faith?
or is it written in my fate?
