Golden Harley
You wanted a better mousetrap so they flooded the market with automatic weapons so that Homer could think of himself as a hero. You can go to Home Depot where there is a wide selection of chainsaw toys that can be used to mow down the apple tree that took a zillion years to grow. You can gripe and pout about the weather, but not hesitate about buying water in a plastic bottle. If you think a hamburger is worth eight dollars you need your ass kicked. You can watch porn on TV from home as your ignorant son is getting his tattoo on. You can preach antisemitism, not knowing that the Son of God is...

girly girl 101...fail
I feel like there was a rule we were supposed to learn...
...maybe in school...
...on how to be a "proper" girl
I don't know what year it would have been but I missed it
that thing of not being heard...
...only ever seen
...even then only fully made up & artfully dressed
the war paint face, I reckon
again...yeah...I didn't get it
and that lesson in the art of flirting
...empty...giggly...vapid
nope, not me
I was the one with a mouth...
never trying to stand out...
...it just happened...

Deku
I live my life by disguise
soothing my demons with lullabies
I'd apologize, but my mouth is dry
I need you to hate me for leaving this time
we relate in a celestial place
I can't watch the tears run down your face
I won't let you watch him fill the space
that I know you'd give anything to take
your darkness is shrouded with innocence
the monster bound and buried within
if I stay the knot will loosen and unravel
don't follow me; you will find another friend
you are a hero that I don't deserve,

Mosaic Love
I want to love you
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,
Celebrate the scars left

Celebrate the scars left

The Gray
I think about the things that we used to be
drifting away through the stars; just a memory
they're never far, but I'll never feel him close to me
I revisit the ruined corridors of my mind
and weep for the love lost between the cracks
I assisted in the poisoning of our innocence
crushed beneath the weight of my own sin
pulled to the sound of my children's laughter
I cry on the floor of an abandoned nursery
the face of blame has found a place upon me
waiting until the smoldering embers had died
when I am all that remains...

My Greenhouse
You and I winter and summer time an icy serenade tinged with cold veneers and air expelled from my toothy grin . You take my mitten clad hands in yours and ignite my pilot light . My flame is burning within as your heart is built with a gas line that is sufficient with a warmth that defies the polar front . I really can’t believe you are my comfort blanket without a utility charge . It’s truly is a gift you in the ways you nurture summer rays radiating with words that turn my thermostat up I melt as I clamber in to your aesthetically made greenhouse . Where everything grows and matures...

I wish you okay
I wish you days of it could have been better
I wish you food that never quite hits the right spot
I wish for slightly flat pop even though you just opened it
I wish that you have nothing but small car problems
I wish you slightly sticky and warm work out equipment
I wish you lovers that you can't ever truly satisfy
I wish you kisses that never feel as good as mine
I wish you moments where I haunt your dreams
I wish that when you think of me... You're not okay

the guardian's journey
she's a guardian
and takes it very seriously
there's one in every family...
...if they're lucky
the one who cannot NOT step up
can't walk away when they're in need
unable to resist their heartfelt pleas
silent or otherwise
this is she...
she feels their hidden pain
sees it in their eyes
especially when they try to shield
she knows...and goes
even if it's only to listen
sitting with them
taking away some of the pressure
long enough for their strength to regather
she's a healer...
trying to heal decades...

Intense Nature
No, no, don't get me wrong
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you

No Man Shall Know You The Way I Know You.
No man shall know you the way I know you. I am the way the ship and the helm. I am the forgetting of them. Their touch upon you is superficial, yet mine is so offical. I am the deepness of your seas and it's ripple. I observe you like the sabbath day. I am a student of your being I am the way. I am the trumpet and it's sound. I am erasing of all others. You hear me you are forgetting them now. I am the sea of knowing you, and all that embark upon this sea will surly drown. I am your throne and your crown. I am the King of your ring, the best pound for pound. I am your future and your past. I...

morning in Happyland
morning in Happyland
As the night dissipated and the modest dawn came
seeping into my room, I looked up to the ceiling
a black cloud hangs over my head
I moved the cloud to the dark/brown wardrobe
where it blended in with the skeptical color.
The closet is very big and empty, I sometimes walk into it when I remember things from my youth, that I ought to be ashamed of; I said “In my youth” These days I have lost the ability to be dishonorable in my daily life, or I have developed the shield of honesty and there is nothing to be
inglorious about. ...
