Benevolent Benefactor
There is no energy
except what you extend
via action or thought
The Universe
is a benevolent benefactor
who returns only
what you emit
No more
No less

Saint Midnight and the Dragon
As folly goes, I think mine not so bad
when channeled into an honest display.
Oh, it had been by a dull aegis clad
which was an inhibition of dismay.
But now it sparkles like some brand-new plate
that treats me to a giggle and a laugh
and is now the kind of charming trait
a chap relies on for an epitaph.
Of course, those lines need not be for me,
buoyed now by invisible armor
whose weightless cheer has set my folly free
to be its own rust-free harmless charmer...
in a universe where epitaphs laugh

BITCH
Female Dog, really
Why toss this word in the air, it’s so darn silly
No, your eyes did not deceive you, by such an audacious written move on my part
Allow me to put my spin on this groove from the start
Just listen to such an unjust degrading name
How we throw this word around brings knees down in shame
A word so lame
Straight out the hood game
No harsher tone of a word between you and me
As you can see
I’ve been called, oh yes, from the best
There’s never a challenge I’ve backed down...

Words given at sunrise
Meticulous mayhem”--
What a paradoxical phrase to wake up with!
And yet, there it was this morning,
begging to be put to use;
but I had no idea how.
This evening, an assignment I’ve chosen;
learning history, politics, spirituality,
violence inflicted by country and church
on indigenous brothers and sisters;
stories gut-wrenching and hard,
but white woman’s tears serve no purpose here;
my job is to listen and learn.
This work requires intentionality,
discipline for difficult conversations,
a conscientious,...

they say it's the small things
Sunday
afternoon
sitting at the center
market,
smoking,
taking it all
in
looking at the buildings
standing faithfully in their
Victorian pride
the storefronts closed,
napping,
resting up for Monday's
frenzy
birds flying from tree
to tree,
the trees indifferent to
all but the sun above
and there are no wars
to be fought on the
inside or outside of
my head
peace guilds languidly,
easily through these
streets like the breath ...

Walk With Me
I wish to sit with somebody or go for a walk
Who as much as in words, in silences speaks
The drift and the knowing of clouds
The wind through the trees
And rustle of leaves
The song of birds
The flight of the hawk
Ripples on water
Be with someone just balancing stones
Who knows fires at night
And sparks' upward flight
To heavenward skies
The varied constellations and moon in its phases
The conjunction marking their birth
Celestial alignments

Teacher's pet
In the depths of night
"At a friend's house"
When shadows dance
Between the sheets
Our secret romance
A student's needs
So pure and true
Within these walls
Teacher's infatuation
Our passion grew
My body yearning
And heart entranced
Our desires...
A forbidden chance
Together we'll defy
My passion filled...
A flame that burns
Our secret kept
And bodies aligned
Through the year
Eyes that glow,
with lust and fire
Teacher, student,
Learning to submit
Forever inspired

Becoming
Sometimes we’re met with contradictions
Our whole world crashes around us
But out of the ashes begins a new blaze
In the blaze a new woman is born
She rises up stronger than ever
She reflects, she rebalances, she realigns her soul
We forget souls can be so easily broken
We forget we’re quite sensitive beings
But it’s the lessons you learn along the way
That make us the people we are always becoming
Live, laugh and love
Live every day as though it’s your last
Live your life your way
And don’t let anyone ever...

Your Hair is Not a Brownie
It is said,
that in any relationship
-or even interaction-
between two individuals,
one is the teacher,
and one is the student.
When I told my stylist
of my heat setting of 330 degrees
to flat iron my hair
she said that was fine,
but not to go any hotter.
Brownies bake at 350
she reminded me.
Your hair is not a brownie.
Handing me a mirror
to view my lowlights from the back
she nodded sagely
My own stylist told me that when I was 12.
