Hester
She was not a stray
who decided to stay;
I afforded her little say
in the matter when giving away
the shirt off my back---
trapping
cold beast under it
as she wielded fire
needle hot sharp
---swiped, hissed, spit
wrapping
the ball of blackened
tortoise shell fur upon snow
contrasted
A month passed before Hester
finally warmed up to human
contact
And now, fifteen years later
futile is resistance to feline
cancer
Wrestling her from...

Under Pressure
The Entirety
of Sobriety
is clearly not
worth the risk
in this day and age
where the are
very few
legal options
on those occasions
when one needs
to relieve the stress
to relieve the pressure
of living a life
That Should Not Exist
of Sobriety
is clearly not
worth the risk
in this day and age
where the are
very few
legal options
on those occasions
when one needs
to relieve the stress
to relieve the pressure
of living a life
That Should Not Exist

Waking Up From Woke
Your true anniversary
will come to be
when you wake up
when you stop
chasing tommorrow
when you awake
from being woke
to becoming
aware
that acting
like spoilt children
stamping your feet
demanding change
you forget
you are no longer
in a playground
being simplistic
in this reality
will cause nothing
But Pain
will come to be
when you wake up
when you stop
chasing tommorrow
when you awake
from being woke
to becoming
aware
that acting
like spoilt children
stamping your feet
demanding change
you forget
you are no longer
in a playground
being simplistic
in this reality
will cause nothing
But Pain

Needs
It isn't enough,
yet we settle.
Necessity?
Or?
yet we settle.
Necessity?
Or?

Holes
Is it not strange
in this
so called
modern day and age
there are many
who still believe
that to find
love
to be
loved
one must
no matter the cost
one must find
a hole
to feed
to be loved

Job Description
One has to have
a diploma
of speaking
without saying
anything
with the help
of words
that are bland
tasteless
passive
One has to have
a diploma
of seamlessly
changing direction
when honest questions
are produced
in front of others
One must have
references
to show
that you have
the ability
to confuse those
who walk the mine fields
continuously
tapping
on said truth
if you want people
to vote for you
a diploma
of speaking
without saying
anything
with the help
of words
that are bland
tasteless
passive

Foreign Words
I had a nightmare
that i could speak
what they speak
with those
foreign words
that they
slipped in
Lawyer speak
University speak
Laws popping up
on words
you shall say
or no peace
A language
that most of us
do not speak
where foreign words
are now becoming
a trojan horse
hollowing out
squeesing dry
whole sentences
on the reasons why
empathy and morals
have the right
to exist
This language for us
with words
that taste bland
when...

Ideology
The Terminology of ideology
is nothing
but a pig sty
where a beautiful mirror
imbedded
with our dreams
lay covered
with our
Excess baggage
full of shit
with a list
full of excuses
on the reasons
we don't feel
Comfortable
When we try
to clean the mirror
that which is
Our Life
is nothing
but a pig sty
where a beautiful mirror
imbedded
with our dreams
lay covered
with our
Excess baggage
full of shit
with a list
full of excuses
on the reasons
we don't feel
Comfortable
When we try
to clean the mirror
that which is
Our Life

Who Am I
Who am I?
I am human with emotions and feelings
Frail, imperfect, flawed and vulnerable
I am a pendulum swaying constantly from one emotional state to another
But most of the time I am calm like a still water
I have a curious mind that led me to discover things on my own
As a child I grew up protected and loved
Never had a wide circle of friends
The most number of friends I had was two
And even then I experienced being misunderstood but that did not stop me from reaching out.
I have a clear sense of who I am

Happiness
People forget
we have two homes
one for the body
and one
that is within
ones mind
and if there is
no balance
then the word
Happiness
Has No Meaning
just a passing thought
that merges
into the soul destroying
Repetitive belief
there is only one
we have two homes
one for the body
and one
that is within
ones mind
and if there is
no balance
then the word
Happiness
Has No Meaning
just a passing thought
that merges
into the soul destroying
Repetitive belief
there is only one

Beneath the Stars
Beneath the Stars
Lay the blanket beside the tree
Pull the hamper from the trunk
Pillows can sit and wait for us
Fire up the lantern to give some light
Pop the Chardonnay; set to one side
Pâté, olives, breads and cheese
Crackers, salami, smoked salmon and beef
Strawberries, raspberries and cream
Chocolate, mints, toffees and fudge
China, crystal, knife, fork and spoon
Come, sit next to me my beauty
Hair so golden, pulled far back
Cheeks pinkish rosey
Eyes glisten emeralds at the midnight hour
Smile so wide it pulls at...

I
It fractured
as i tried
as it frayed
piece
by piece
as i watched
as the pressure
began to play
who's to blame
watching my thoughts
and speech
not of my name
create a world
of pain
watching
in denial
as my mind
slowly frays
disengage
walk away
from the shadows
from a world
full of pain
from the simple
conclusion
it is I
Who I Should Blame
as i tried
as it frayed
piece
by piece
as i watched
as the pressure
began to play
who's to blame
watching my thoughts
and speech
not of my name
create a world
of pain
watching
in denial
as my mind
slowly frays
disengage
walk away
from the shadows
from a world
full of pain
from the simple
conclusion
it is I
Who I Should Blame
