as so often happens
she just proved that old adage
{maybe it's just a joke...I don't know}
but it's so frequent I think it should be
...more than just accepted as a maxim
I opened my mouth
& my mother came out
it used to drive her crazy
not so much anymore
as she's seeing firsthand
the wisdom in what she's saying
was once heard emitting from my lips...previously
& sometimes we speak...
...in stereo
{I giggle}
while she rolls her eyes & purses her lips ...

ode to mother
oh glorious matriarch
bearer of life
your legacy blooms like spring flowers
your nurturin hands
your sacrificial heart
how heaven’s eyes must roll
at your divine example
your generosity knew no bounds
so generous that you gave away your children
wrappin us tenderly in indifference
abandoned me to my father’s rage
then gifted my brother to me
creatin a family tradition
of handin over the unwanted
oh vessel of wisdom
overflowin fountain of care

a toast to no one
the call came today
you’re dead
finally
the universe took its sweet time
over and over
I’ve tried rebuildin
what you burned down
with that lighter fluid smile
over and over
I’ve tried to wash out
all of your venom
that pulses thru my veins
they’ll want me to weep
to forgive you
to speak of loss and motherly love
but what is there it mourn
when nothin I ever had has died?
the actress takes her final bow
no fuckin encore
those invisible strings
that you pulled so well ...
you’re dead
finally
the universe took its sweet time
over and over
I’ve tried rebuildin
what you burned down
with that lighter fluid smile
over and over
I’ve tried to wash out
all of your venom
that pulses thru my veins
they’ll want me to weep
to forgive you
to speak of loss and motherly love
but what is there it mourn
when nothin I ever had has died?

Take me Out To
02/30
Take me Out To
Every year I’d get excited for April
not for National Poetry month, but
for Baseball!
My Mom loved watching her team
on the big television screen &
I loved watching any team play
with her.
Mom’s San Diego Padres
are really good this year;
she’s not going to get to see
any games.
I may not watch a single game
this year as I can’t hold back
my tears
because it was “ our thing “
and she’s not around anymore.
Well, at least there’s no song
to trigger me,...

if you look hard enough...
you spend your whole life with someone
think you know them
but what percentage of your belief is real
& how much...illusion
created perhaps...
by the damage unintentionally inflicted
& it's the only remaining thing still coloring your view
all because...they hurt you
& now it's all you're willing to remember
it was a hard lesson...for sure
seeing from her side of reality
that kinda vision is painful
coming to terms with my own bias
my own fallible humanity
my mother was buttoned down so tight ...

Dear mama
it’s been real I’m not going to lie, life taught me your skin will get thick, moving to fast, 💨, when you move to quick you notice nothing, you look at time, like wow how time fly,
you see nothing but green grass moving side to side, you do not notice the poisonous snake slithering by, I swear earth is the only place when you are telling the truth, you still need another albi,
Trust issues, different views, relationships torn away left me all confused, close friend telling, taught me gamblers always got a chance to lose, ...

Rest In Peace, Mom - Part VIII
It was twelve years ago today when I found you dead.
I knew you had died because you were lying lifeless on that hospital bed.
I bought you a card and a toy easter bunny that were buried with you.
If somebody ever says that you meant nothing to me, it won't be true.
When I prayed for your survival, I decided to beg.
You died after the surgeon amputated your leg.
Even though removing your leg improved your chances of survival, you still died.
When the surgeon operated on you, he couldn't save you even though he tried.
Your life ended and you entered the...

I still love you
You left me, but I still stay by you,
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.

Mum
Just had a memory
Of the day
That i found
My mother dead
On the floor
On 27th December 2015
Although the coroner said
She probably died
The day before
That memory
Of that moment relived
Produced a deluge
Of tears,
And the grief
I still carry
Now for over
Nine long years

Mama, why?
Mama, why do you turn away?
It's like you never want to look me in the eyes
Until you are screaming,
Then all I see is a blaze of who you want me to be.
A bleeding creature, mother and child,
What curse have you turned upon me?
That which I have always been destined to stumble before,
Is that which still hurts most deeply.
It's like you never want to look me in the eyes
Until you are screaming,
Then all I see is a blaze of who you want me to be.
A bleeding creature, mother and child,
What curse have you turned upon me?
That which I have always been destined to stumble before,
Is that which still hurts most deeply.

POWER OF UNITY
For sure we all can remember a time in each of our lives 🥰 when we use to connect on so many ways of subconscious, thoughts on the things that truly matter to us as family and friends. But yet it's changed from the deepness into negativity, of what was created by those before us, when we weren't even born into the world 🌍 For sure as I keep those thoughts as motions, pictures of images of good times with the elders, of the truth seekers of our family roots. I remember so many stories about the deepness of the truth, there was a time when we had laugh together and moments when...

Finally Standing Up to Her
On Chapter 8 of Free. 24 chapters to go. I'm writing it quickly because I want to live.
But living will require finally standing up to my mother and tell her how she's made my life a living hell.
She'll be furious to know I'm publishing my book for money, but I know she can't hurt me anymore. She'll get what's coming to her.
I know this can become a bestseller, and I know then, that I'll truly be happy.
My mother secretly hates my happiness. She's a witch!
But two can play at this game, and I can finally out win her.
And become...
