Child
I was a child
the brunt of jokes
too young to understand the laughter
torn between humiliation and need for attention
I was a child
defenseless, confused
too young to understand my body’s reactions
torn between shame and need for affection
I was a child
hiding, unprotected
too young to understand the rage was not my fault
torn between fear and need for acceptance
I was a child
hurt, neglected
too young
torn
I was a child.
.

keeping Self in check
one of the most difficult...
...& most valuable...
lessons I've had to learn in healing
is not letting my own wounds
become someone else's damage
turning the sharp edge of my pain
...away
because emotional injury...
...is something we cannot undo
& apologies don't mend the ache
the scar will always remain
just as mine exist
so too will theirs
& what if...
mine was one strike too many...

On Frozen Pond
On frozen pond a stone skips readily
a slippery slope to fall down steadily
the hand ever sleight holds the balance too tight
and we dance to the same sad medley
A metronome sanity salted with doom
memories of stories that ended too soon
collected at night to hide from the light
fear of the breaking forever to loom
The empirical evidence lied
and the hard truth will always collide
a mind slowly bends a means to an end
rest assured there is nowhere to hide
An explosion of pent up emotion

Why Do Recovering Alcoholics Love Diet Coke?
Mariah brings me carrots, and pasta, and money for thirty diet cokes, if I want.
She hugs me in her orange puffer coat, because she knows I have been scream crying
and bargaining with the universe, again. She’s been doing the same.
She grips me tightly and I cling to her, and we cast a spell that makes the five pm winter darkness
feel less like a life sentence.
Boys said they loved us and left. And that is the familiar knife we keep turning inside ourselves.
We give every twist a new name, but the hole looks the same.
I tell her that I hope they can...

Back To The Routine
Sneak a few treasured moments here
badly in need of release
it has been a month
thirty fictions in thirty days
but I did it
despite the faulty clutch
and the sick oven
messing with my routines
and braces for the kid
been a costly month
been little opportunity
for that quality time
to nurse those fantasies
to the surface
to give myself
license to indulge
but here I am
back again
ready to make a splash
badly in need of release
it has been a month
thirty fictions in thirty days
but I did it
despite the faulty clutch
and the sick oven
messing with my routines
and braces for the kid
been a costly month

for that quality time
to nurse those fantasies
to the surface
to give myself
license to indulge
but here I am

Of Light
Suspended high in the sky, in your life
Often times hanging out
Quietly by
With a fierceness that can knock you over
Yet hold you steady
Those shining stars
Guiding
Opening your eyes
Your heart
Your possibilities
Illuminating the path you didn’t know existed
Their eyes recognizing stories your heart can’t bear alone
Their shoulders taking over when you slip into the dimension of the unknown
Carrying you until you can stand on your own
Only they know how monumental your tiny triumphs are
They’re the first to celebrate...

Healing
The weaponization of thought
as the inner child lies helpless,
though a man emerges to the
first taste of his own power
The son is gone but the warmth
still touches his face, he is not what
he has done nor what he has endured,
just a man healing his heart
as the inner child lies helpless,
though a man emerges to the
first taste of his own power
The son is gone but the warmth
still touches his face, he is not what
he has done nor what he has endured,
just a man healing his heart

falling behind
she chooses
to go
away, to
a place
a world
in between
us, and
it's not
where i
can follow,
her oceans
have no
shores,
her land
is impassable
to me,
there is
nothing more
i can do,
i sit
and wait
for her
to return.

I have a suit malfunction sir
How did I get here, it's a bit of a blur?
I think I have a suit malfunction sir.
Made in sixty-five and has Paul on the name plate.
You only get one, so look after its mate.
Now I might have fallen out the odd tree.
Or dropped on my head a few times you see.
I've had a few sporting injuries and the odd stitch.
This could be the reason for why I twitch.
My body had a few bruises & strains.
Just one owner, but not everything remains.
The cabling to my server is very frayed.

This empty revel
i.
Come walk with me. No use wandering alone on this
absent curve with this melancholy
in hand—this stain on your palms.
You try not to let it pester— though it slinks up your sleeve. You mustn’t touch it
It’s prickly; this blackened scab that sullies your ivory; the wound— a trinket of wry
with little relent.
ii.
For all this sorrow forbids you to bathe in the malt of another man’s brew. A potence found only in the ones who have forgiven ...

In Between
I stand in the quiet space
Between feeling and knowing,
Between what I can't quite name
And the truth I hold deep within.
I am certain of me…….
Of the strength that carries me forward,
Of the soul that always finds a way
To rebuild, to create, to heal.
But still, there’s a question that lingers,
A weight that rests upon my chest,
Not of who I am, but of what this is.
Uncertain, and yet… I feel….
I don’t have the answers yet,
I will step back to find my breath.
In the quiet of my work, I will know
In time, the pieces...
Between feeling and knowing,
Between what I can't quite name
And the truth I hold deep within.
I am certain of me…….
Of the strength that carries me forward,
Of the soul that always finds a way
To rebuild, to create, to heal.
But still, there’s a question that lingers,
A weight that rests upon my chest,
Not of who I am, but of what this is.
Uncertain, and yet… I feel….
I don’t have the answers yet,
I will step back to find my breath.
In the quiet of my work, I will know
In time, the pieces...
