Morpheus Reveals: Magnum Opus
i became
a field of soft fern
an evening meadow
a transmuted soul
consumed
by white mushrooms
and long blades of grass
planting their roots
in my veins
i’m afraid of
what they’ll do to me
so i rip them all out
but the fungi remains
too deep to
uproot
now an IV tube
its spores spotting
my left forearm
over scars burning red
where skin once bled
what does it want
from body and flesh?
does it not
want me dead?

White Walls
Locked inside a place with white walls
My mind is my own worst enemy here
No padded walls but locked doors
Nurses checking in on me every fifteen minutes
Afraid I am a danger to myself
I might self destruct in three, two, one...
Anxiety spiraling out of control
The voices in my head overwhelm my mind
My brain screaming thousands of fears at me
"You're not worth it!"
"They don't love you!"
"You messed everything up!"
"You'll never be a first responder now!"
"You lost all your...

Watching Cars
Watching cars drive by outside the window
Everyone going through out their day
Taking their kids to school
Heading to their regular nine to five
Passing cars and people never knowing their path
Are they happy with their life
Do they struggle from day to day
How do they cope with life's demands
Why do I panic at minor inconveniences
My mind is too complex
It goings from zero to sixty within second
From calm to panic at the snap of my fingers
Watching cars drive by out the window
Home seems so far away from here

dawn
crisp wind bites against
rosy damp cheeks
she braids dewy grass with a frown
under the morning glow
her eyes hold a thousand lost ages,
but no drops will fall from them now
Venus' light is energizing
she takes a breath once held before
brushes the petals of a golden tulip
exhausted of resurrection battle
holding fast for the morning's come now
butterfly flutters ripple the universe
a plume of foggy breath
crystals fly from shaken out curls
a lonely drip slips from the corner of this world
rosy damp cheeks

cardigan
mascara stains
on woven sleeves
clenched by anguished fingers
salty drip
from trembling lips
my broken little visitor

Lost
I feel lost without you
Left alone in a hospital room
with just the memory of you
and the proof of our love in
my arms...
You were the love of my life
the rock that I could lean on
now I'm left with a face that
reminds me of you and a
severe lack of sleep...
There is no one to blame but fate
But how will I explain that to him?
When one life enters
another one flees...
I was never meant to make this journey alone
though you did leave me with a piece of you...
I miss you...

I'm Still Healing
I'm trying hard to be
The best me I can be
Have a little empathy for me
I have so many scars
Due to my tumultuous past
I'm still healing from my
Caretakers misdeeds
It's taken me so long
To learn to love myself as I am
To truly believe I am enough
But now I know I can
Life has never been easy
I just go with the flow now
Please don't criticize me
I'm taking baby steps
To get where I was meant to be
My progress is rather slow
But it moves so steadily
I may have a long way to go
Just...

HAMMOCK STRINGS (4-17-1994; Galveston Island Texas)n a
spring birds sing
wind chimes ring
a sleepy breeze
comes over me
as i cocoon myself away
so effortlessly disconnected
from timeless hours
especially when
i need to most
now peacefully cradled
so weightlessly away
i drift
in all these tranquil
hammock strings
which have recently
become
a sudden
healing necessity
in my life
especially when
i need them most
in which
i sail off
into such gentle
soothing...

What is the future?
How daunting it is to think about my future.
As I grew up,
I imagined my death so often that I never really had
a future.
I had minutes, hours, sometimes days,
but never years.
I know that seems strange,
but when your present becomes so overwhelming
that your dreams of being a princess, turn into
simply just being happy.
All the things money could never buy.
Leaving even myself asking why?
But as time went by and so many loved ones had
come and...

disposable...
he...a euphemism for one...& then another...& another
came into her life with a vengeance
his attentions bringing glowing smiles & eliciting sighs
making her days magically shiny & beautifully bright
so many hours spent together
taking long walks in the park
sharing picnics beneath trees
holding hands in the car...
driving leisurely down gravel coated country roads
...just for the chance to be together
and the way his eyes always sought her out in a crowd
lighting up & immediately filling with love ...

Perspective
You haven't broken me and I haven't broken you.
You might have held the knife but you didn't push it through.
The future keeps on coming, but the past we can't undo.
I'm scared but I'm determined to hang onto what is true.
So humbly I ask you:
is it too late to renew?
It's way past the beginning but we haven't reached the end.
I didn't kill your bunny and I didn't steal your bread.
The world keeps spinning faster and I kinda miss my friend.
I know it's different now; I'm not trying to pretend.
But timidly I ask you:
do you...

I Thought You Were A Nice Snake
You had venom in your teeth
And smile
Yet I willingly bared my neck for you
And was surprised when you bit
And smile
Yet I willingly bared my neck for you
And was surprised when you bit
