And other cards
The type
to play solitaire
with tarot cards,
not out of spite
or to make a statement,
but just was dealt a
'unique' hand in appearance
and decided one day
to roll with it.

Was Jesus Uniquely "Great"?
When I consider all that Jesus taught,
proclaimed, consistently rehearsed,
about the God of Israel,
his mercies and his grace
towards both sinner and the saint,
and how H-Shem requires his chosen ones,
his would-be faithful sons,
to focus on displaying charity,
especially unto their lowly kin
and also what this Nazorean did for those
who were deprived of justice, kindness, health
and hope,
or suffered from the grave effects
of what their leaders did
to please their Roman overlords,
I cannot...

Is é an grá mo bheith
Love is my Becoming]
When I rose from ashes to rebuild;
Vulnerability, and Strength, came together
as the odd everlasting couple.
I was humble, and brave, and birthed Hope, and Passion
like any other navigating and narrating parent.
They’re all a part of me, and I would guard these qualities
with determination, with c o m p a s s i o n, with authenticity.
While failing and trying again,
Anxiety and fear moved in
[I allowed them to be only temporary]
While showing up,
I met doubt
[Learned to choose my friends...

Dark is my friend
Dark is my friend,
I will not pretend,
We have spent alot of time together
Sometimes silence joins us,
then disappears when the noise outside appears,
Dark is my friend,
she is all around me,
but doesn't judge,
she never leaves my side ,
until the morning sunrise,
I can be myself,
no need for a disguise..
Oh yes, on dark I can depend,
she was with in the beginning and she'll be there at the end,
This is not a morbid and depressive trend,
just a place to heal and mend, ...

It's getting annoying now
You're trying too hard
To sound smart
You're trying too hard
To be sensitive
You're trying too hard
To seem successful
You're trying too hard
To be overtly sexual
You're trying too hard
To be social
You're just trying too hard
To be everything
But yourself
Yes they do it
And boy do they do it well
But unless that's really you
Faking it definitely isn't
Making anything happen
Real recognize real
And nobody recognizes you
To sound smart
You're trying too hard
To be sensitive
You're trying too hard
To seem successful
You're trying too hard
To be overtly sexual
You're trying too hard
To be social
You're just trying too hard
To be everything
But yourself
Yes they do it
And boy do they do it well
But unless that's really you
Faking it definitely isn't
Making anything happen
Real recognize real
And nobody recognizes you

Jaded Masterpiece
We are each jaded puzzle pieces.
Individually, we make little sense.
We are not particularly stunning.
In fact, we are often quite ugly.
We appear as jagged splotches of color and haphazard shapes.
Until one fits into another.
Into another.
Collectively, we make a beautiful masterpiece.

Down to the Wire
This Battle of wills
We've been living in
For Years
Is Finally coming down
To the wire
That stands
On the opposite bank
Of the slow sluggish
River
OF our own blood
Staring down
At the decaying face's
Collateral damage
IN the flesh
And the smell
We will never forget
As we wade across the river
To get to wire
First
THIS battle of wills
We've living in today
Is finally coming to a head
Like the 1920s
When the labor laws
Were first born
IN blood and pain

Reminiscing On The Past
Sometimes I come back to this island
And reminisce on the past
Walking through the forest I once called home
I used to take strolls here-much like this-
Amidst all the beautiful plants and tall trees
Hearing the sounds of creatures scurrying out of sight
I’m reminded of all I’ve left behind
A small part of me wonders
What would my life be like if I stayed on this island?
I walk on, deeper into the forest
And I take in my surroundings
A mix of light and dark greens
Vines strewn everywhere
A slight breeze...
And reminisce on the past
Walking through the forest I once called home
I used to take strolls here-much like this-
Amidst all the beautiful plants and tall trees
Hearing the sounds of creatures scurrying out of sight
I’m reminded of all I’ve left behind
A small part of me wonders
What would my life be like if I stayed on this island?
I walk on, deeper into the forest
And I take in my surroundings
A mix of light and dark greens
Vines strewn everywhere

Wrinkles
I keep a picture of myself
in my wallet’s display section
and when I say “myself” I mean
the child that I was and am
the little centre staring back at me
from out a rough-edged photograph
retaining shy and gentle grin
although the creases crack the skin
in my wallet’s display section
and when I say “myself” I mean
the child that I was and am
the little centre staring back at me
from out a rough-edged photograph
retaining shy and gentle grin
although the creases crack the skin
