Dear Mrs. Tepper
Dear Mrs. Tepper,
I’m sorry to hear about your loss,
I’m sorry you have this cross to bear,
And though you’ve received condolences,
I too would like to offer a little prayer.
Mrs. Tepper, I know I’m just a stranger,
But if you could hear me for a second please,
I feel so sad about your daughter’s passing,
I also want to extend my deepest sympathies…
See, I’m a drum corps fan like many others,
I take a joy in the talent of today’s youth,
But when the news came over the feeds,
It touched my heart to tell you the...

Regret
affliction dear please afford me this confession
assorted pain dances in my mind tormenting me
the ghosts of my children's childhoods
I see their baby faces
not enough food to sustain their grumbling bellies
they still visit me in my resting state
I see their young faces knowing I failed them
they haunt my existence I see threads wait more like nooses
troubling the present trying to hang them
none of my grown children want anything to do with each other
too many bad memories
still basically living in poverty ...

Get it On
The first album I ever purchased
with my own pocket money
was T-Rex, Electric Warrior—
It was 1971! It was England!
I'm twelve.
TWELVE!
One year from being a teenager
It's the end of July
or first of August, who knows—
it was hot as hell;
I picked strawberries
and babysat all summer
to earn enough money for that album
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Aowwwwwwww! Yeah, BABY!
( Remember. . .twelve )
I get it home, eagerly...

value of intentions
I don't know whether to feel proud of myself
...or ashamed
I worked so hard all those years
masking to hide my pain
protecting her from the knowledge
so perfectly she never suspected
and now that it's come to the surface
she's asking me tough questions
and I can see the hurt in her eyes
that I suffered & kept it so quiet
but it was imperative to me she live her life unaffected
as normal as could be expected
never thinking how moods & occasional withdrawing might affect her
it was just the 2 of us for so much of her...

Lines...from long ago
I fancied the thing with which we begat
those two fine lads we held so dear.
Yet, written as vulgar, is your lovely twat.
But...the dictionary...is wrong...I fear.
This reputational status seems clear,
and thus I think the topic needs more chat.
Yes! l well concluded, with much thought, and beer...
that I will always fancy the thing with which you begat
those many, many months of looking fat...
and you endured the condition with good cheer.
Then, in your rocking chair, with you, they sat...
those two fine...

Your pain
Give me your pain
that I might understand it
that I may take it away from you
that your pain might be mine
that we can share and suffer together.
Men can never understand that
this makes a woman and
for some separates the sexes
so that a clear divide creates a
barrier and for those women they
celebrate this difference as a right
and a blessing.
Many call it the curse as pain has
been related to punishment for
sin by some religions but if this
term relates to religious
punishment why is this not felt ...

The Ballad Of No-Man Pam
Let me start by saying
I liked her.
It was as simple as that.
There were billions of people in the world,
and I liked maybe five,
but she was one—
complex and undignified,
farted with meaning in her beat-up car,
as the fog rolled in
and you were never entirely sure
where menthol vape met air biscuit.
We swam once a week together,
poured ourselves into awkward Lycra
and willed each other towards water.
Shy of babysitters, her...

My Oracle Sacred Rites Of The Placenta (Part I of Part II)
Unto life that has been given unto the womb, a sacred connection between the divine, intermission of growth and development from embryo to a fetus, to the deliverance of man child or woman child into the enlightenment from the mythical of passage from the Heavens to Earth, in exile from the darkness unto the light of Eve’s disobedience manifested by life and death.
I will ask level-minded intellects a question, what are the gifts we get from the universe, when we are without guidance, blind eyes as looking through the world with the innocent of a childlike’s perceptions.

Without You
My babies
just about all grown
16 and 14
full of sass and promise
weve had our ups
and our downs
I am me
because of you two
I will forever love you
Thank you for letting me be your crazy Mama <3
Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there and the dads doing both! <3

The ignorance of girlhood
I held you
there,
my darling
in between sparse flashes
of fractional moments
.
.
.
yet,
just
long
enough.
...sparking...
sweet dreams
and phantom whispers
The kind
that awaken secret mystery
fate highlighting,
a forever wanted known.
Revealing pain's ironic hurt of hope
It's then and there,
when fully comprehended true love
becomes a [split-second] understanding
that all other love before it,
never truly existed ...

Liquid Gold
Our color was predestined
From the beginning of time
An armada of femininity
Behind each of our eyes
Resonate and radiate
Nurture our womanly glamour
As we design our golden age
With untarnished beauty
Bestow future legacies
Of mothers and daughters
With precious liquified metal
Our wisdom will never rust
Teaching love’s glory
Between woman and man
Penmanship forever lasting
Never smudged or cold
As we pour priceless treasure
From our legendary hearts
Elegance combined with ...
