The Art of Keeping Distance
My mama never cried
Except for the moments when she couldn’t take it
And every time, I heard her say,
“I’m sorry for all the tears I shed.”
Twenty years coming up
I heard the voice of an angel
She was singing happy songs
Because it hurt too much to sing the blues
Now a new love comes along
Maybe two or three
I could never get to the very core
Of how they were feeling
It seems that I’m the only one who cries
And it feels as though the river's running wild
But the dam, it will break
Only when my lovers...
Except for the moments when she couldn’t take it
And every time, I heard her say,
“I’m sorry for all the tears I shed.”
Twenty years coming up
I heard the voice of an angel
She was singing happy songs
Because it hurt too much to sing the blues
Now a new love comes along
Maybe two or three
I could never get to the very core

It seems that I’m the only one who cries
And it feels as though the river's running wild
But the dam, it will break
Only when my lovers...

I'll Save A Dance For You/Outside The ICU
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13
I'll Save A Dance For You
Thinking of you
These thoughts that occupy my mind
Trying to focus
Even the sunrise is darkness
When sight is faith blind
First night back
It was all I could do
To keep my emotions to myself at work
When all I can do is think of you
It feels like fire, invisible blades
Words pour from my lips like a scar
Slinging the blood of poetry therapy
Beyond console,...
Psalm 139:13

Words pour from my lips like a scar

Alien DNA
I want to hold you to my breast
hold you close so, so close you feel my soul
tears well in my eyes and shine
I will never touch you
touch is a funny thing when you are as we are
when most little girls cry for mommy when they get hurt
I would scream no, don't touch me
I was a broken little girl left at a playground when I was three
no matter I was used to her leaving me
this time she didn't come back
I couldn't tell you how I survived the night or found my way back to our apartment
but after three days they came and took me...
hold you close so, so close you feel my soul
tears well in my eyes and shine
I will never touch you
touch is a funny thing when you are as we are
when most little girls cry for mommy when they get hurt
I would scream no, don't touch me
I was a broken little girl left at a playground when I was three
no matter I was used to her leaving me
this time she didn't come back
I couldn't tell you how I survived the night or found my way back to our apartment
but after three days they came and took me...

For My Mom
For My Mom
You know,
You tell me that I mean the world to you
and I believe what you say.
I know your words are true
because Mom,
You mean the world to me too.
You have stood by me
throughout the years.
You have comforted my falls
and you have dried away tears.
You have been everything to me.
You are my mom and dear friend.
I know that on you I can always
depend.
Over the course of time
there have been some ups and downs.
It would not be normal
without a few frowns.
But...

Uttering unfinished letters
Mother, I realize that
I have not yet
honored you
from dankness
to darkness
I am ready
to face my wounds
alone
Mother, hand me
my christening dress
bring back
these cotton candy
dreams
from caramel cervix
may the pantomime begin
laureling life
we mime
all the things
none will say
counting each stroke
while the soft comb
fluently parts my hair
adorned ruffles
we mime our love
transforming
our aches
yet we know not
the history ...

Her
You brought life, then stopped
Unspoken, broken, distress
Another mistake
Repercussions none
Unwanted, left behind, blue
Needed more than could give
Just a toy, didn’t want
Was never going to play with
Expectations gone
Grown up without chance
Cast aside at all times
Sensitive to none
Found illness inside
Thunderous times abound
Put ignorance there
Must begin my own path
Without toxicity and pain
Slowly fade away
Move forward in time
Show the world what I can be ...

Hey girl
6-27-19
A long time ago,
There was a little girl,
Kinda of a shining light
sent down to this world..
She was raised up fast
but inside she grew real slow,
How that girl made it
Dont nobody know
An angel from heaven,
With a heart made of
gold...
A simple reminder,
to keep Jesus in your
soul..
Haunted by her demons,
It was anything, to ease her pain..
Just trying to find a little comfort ,
that girl turned to the devil when she hurt... ...

Teenage Boys Make Me Sad
I hate this title
It is not the vibe
Sitting here…
Listening to my boys play
Minus the teenage one
He’s off meandering
In his own head space
Ear buds or headphones full on
Hides in his room
Does everything I ask
But I wish he’d do anything else
Other than being so exact
Call me from his hidey room
Ask me life questions
Need me more and more as he gets older
Follow me (you know?)
Like he used to when he was two
like my teenage daughter does
He does his own thing
I guess...

I Wanna Love You
I get locked up in my own world
I used to write it down more
But now I bump to country music
It’s so calming…
Between each crochet stitch,
On top of spurts
of washing, those fucking dishes
And laundry
I’ll be throwing away
Thoughts of you
Oh wait, that’s me?
I used to write it down more
But now I bump to country music
It’s so calming…
Between each crochet stitch,
On top of spurts
of washing, those fucking dishes
And laundry
I’ll be throwing away
Thoughts of you
Oh wait, that’s me?
