M'haps the plague? - NaPoWriMo 12
A little tickle on the tonsils,
a slight dry gust in the mouth,
and a heavy ball in the throat,
Gods I hope its not a blasted cold.
I hope it is just the need
to drink more water
and not pestilence's fetid fingers
tickling in testing out my defences
before squatting
as uninvited pest in my head,
Either way,
Summon the forges for a brew
and raise a mug to good health,
Cheers.

The Silent Goodbye
The Silent Goodbye
I must leave now, it’s time
I must go, our story’s over
Our fairytale ended
I can’t mend it, I’ve grown colder
The love for you has died
I guess I killed it in a way
A promise I made to myself
And so I cannot stay
The darkness in me spread
I’d say that yeah I hit rock bottom
I fell down my own rabbit hole
The demon’s came, I fought them
And in the end they won
My time is done
It’s time to leave
It hurts to have to let you go
The both of us will grieve
...

This boot was made for walking…
Bone graft from my heel
Plates and screws
All so my midfoot can fuse
Don’t let that fool you
I still get around
I’m the sexiest bitch on wheels
And this boot
Seven weeks on my ass
Is over
It’s time to move!
Still got that strut
Not in stilettos
Yet
Plates and screws
All so my midfoot can fuse
Don’t let that fool you
I still get around
I’m the sexiest bitch on wheels
And this boot
Seven weeks on my ass
Is over
It’s time to move!
Still got that strut
Not in stilettos
Yet

The View From My Window
The September wind pushes the tree branches as they yield and sway, joyfully.
I sit quietly.
The dry leaves scatter like the goodbyes
of an old woman ready to leave this life.
The wind beckons the crisp fall air as if to say,
"Go to the place of your dreams with peace"
The streetlights' glow tell me it's either evening or morning.
But what do they know?
Birds sing with their wings dancing in the light.
The glimmer allows me to unfold a memory
I've tucked away in the hope chest of my heart
I look to the...

Holding The Line
Wading through the lies
A storm of deception
Like calculating Pi
An endless corruption
Focus on the center
Cling to the known
Stand fast against it all
Tall like a stone
Weathered cracks and fissures
More prominent and deep
Bear witness to the struggle
Of decades the will to keep
Fighting
One inch at a time
Enduring past all hope
Holding the line
The end closer
Than the begining
Muscles straining
Core failing
Going down
Fighting to the last
No more...

Weary and Tired
I am tired and weary of shouldered burdens
my soul is weary of the disappointments
and matters I cannot openly confide
its like a stone necklace or a heavy crown
life's trial faced full of adrenalin
wears me out and cast shadows
in my days a badly written poem
on old parchments full of scratches
I was graced with love's tender touch
once upon a time and in the past
green and yellow tinted the windows
of the soul and solace and peace departed
dreams are uncharted wishes mere words
akin to puffs of energy in...

I Wanna Strangle Someone, Peacefully
A hard core narcotic cocktail
Some Xanax thrown in for good measure
(note, plural)
And…
Voila!
You get to say stupid shit
Came through on the other side
However
My outpatient surgery landed me an admission
Nobody seemed to mind my often incoherent ramblings
Nor my nonsensical blissful semi-lucidity
The destruction way more than the surgeon anticipated
(even after the MRI and multitudes of x-rays)
The pain is more than I counted on
But I got myself
One hell of a new foot

The Twenty Third Time and it Still Feels the Same
You’d think this old hat, perfected routine
Would get easier
Knowing all the ins and outs like the back of my hand
But, it hasn’t
Preparations have been made
Including all the what ifs
The phone calls to be made
The affairs to be carried out
The loose ends to be tied up
Just in case
Flatlining
(even if it was only for seconds)
During surgery will do that
Remind you
That the next time
You better have everything in order
So those in your life
Aren’t left with the...

I Hate You :)
Slowly fading
Shaking limbs
Cut wires in the brain
By the enemy’s hand
I want to see you while you still remember me.

How Do I Get It Out Of My Head?
There is one image I will never get out of my head
As much as I wish I could wash it from my memory forever
My father laying semi conscious in a hospital bed
Fighting the sedation when he hears us speaking in the hall nearby
An incision his collar to his waist
A tube down his throat,
A look of utter terror on his face
The nurse has us move away from the room
Trying to avoid startling him
My father needs his rest
Still as he can possibly be
My father kept trying to wake up
So they put him under

the bitch is back
covid has re-entered my system
snuck in like a thief in the night
temporary hold on my life
and everything hurts
but my lungs are the worst
an elephant sitting on my chest
wondering will my next breath be a gasp or a wheeze
when it rattles into me
working my inhaler overtime just to survive
danced this set before
I didn't want to move to this tune anymore
back to the meds & the bed
catch y'all on the flipside
snuck in like a thief in the night
temporary hold on my life
and everything hurts
but my lungs are the worst
an elephant sitting on my chest
wondering will my next breath be a gasp or a wheeze
when it rattles into me
working my inhaler overtime just to survive
danced this set before
I didn't want to move to this tune anymore
back to the meds & the bed
catch y'all on the flipside
