Appearances
I don’t blame people for assuming,
I don’t blame outsiders for not looking in.
If you saw a shop with a sign that said “pet store”,
You’d assume if you looked in you’d see pets and pet supplies.
If you saw a building with a sign that said library,
You’d assume if you looked in you’d see books and desks.
If you saw people labeled “mother” and “father”,
You’d assume they were nurturing and caring of their children.
But “Mother” and “Father” are not titles to be earned,
It’s a...

To My Father: Thank You for Throwing Me Away
Exhale, it's been a long journey for sure,
Through the heartache, I've found a cure.
From the shadows of your absence, I grew,
And now, Dad, I have something to say to you.
Thank you for throwing me away,
For leaving me behind, day by day.
Your absence was a wound, deep and raw,
But in the pain, I found my own law.
I begged for your love until I was fifty,
But all it did was leave me empty.
You saw me as a mistake, an unwanted trace,
But I found strength in your cold embrace.
In your rejection, I found my own light,
Dancing with...

An orgasm is an orgasm
When he would get off from work he would come home to his wife and her crotchety old mother
He hates his mother in law
She lives with them, after her husband died a few years back
Lucky him
She nags and complains and aggravates him every goddamn night
He gets tired of telling his wife to kick her out or have her shut her fucking mouth
He can't take the noise
All day long at work he has to listen to the noise
His boss, the assholes he works with and those fucking machines
When he gets home he wants quiet
His wife is always protecting her mother...

arrival
The arrival
I had been away for thirty years
came, put up a new fence, and painted the house
Bright spring green, the house looked posh
compared with pale white housing
which had been the only legal color when
the ultra-democratic ruled
I had been spotted, and relatives came to visit
a younger generation that looked like clones
of the people I once knew but with new
bodies and young faces
clean streets, smokers hid in basements like
ostracized uncles no one spoke about
the children of this new generation played ...

Too Loud
I'm still flesh and bone, no matter how much my flesh is bitten off, and my bones broken.
My skin has turned a sickly green from the lack of oxygen. I can't breathe anymore, it's too loud. It's like I could blow out their eardrums with the sound of my blinking.
Don't blink it's too loud. Don't breathe, it's too loud. Don't eat, it's too loud.
It's been 2 years since I took a step, my last one was too loud.
It can't hear me, it can't see me, but it's still too loud.
It's hugs have become tighter, it's trying to squeeze the air out of me, but...

Mama
My daughter.
My purple rose.
You are going to have trials
And tribulations.
You are going to have sincere
Smiles and adorations.
You will give your love freely
And it affects you deeply.
Your tears will fall with
Seemingly no end.
The night will call to you
Looking for you to bend.
What I will say to you
With all my heart.
There is reason for you
From the very start.
I needed to love.
I needed to heal.
I needed your...
My purple rose.
You are going to have trials
And tribulations.
You are going to have sincere
Smiles and adorations.
You will give your love freely
And it affects you deeply.
Your tears will fall with
Seemingly no end.
The night will call to you
Looking for you to bend.
What I will say to you
With all my heart.

From the very start.

Mother
He hates you.
You held so tight on his wrists,
He still feels the ache,
He still sees the bruises.
He hates you.
You don’t see him,
You look through him,
He wishes your hand would phase through his body too.
He hates you.
He hates your frustratingly blank stare,
Shaky breath and bouncing leg,
Pretending you can’t hear him.
Your son is crying,
I know you can hear me.
He’s screaming,
Coughing up blood as he tears his throat with pure rage.
You...
You held so tight on his wrists,
He still feels the ache,
He still sees the bruises.
He hates you.
You don’t see him,
You look through him,
He wishes your hand would phase through his body too.
He hates you.
He hates your frustratingly blank stare,
Shaky breath and bouncing leg,
Pretending you can’t hear him.
Your son is crying,
I know you can hear me.
He’s screaming,
Coughing up blood as he tears his throat with pure rage.
You...

Folks
The intelligence
I have learned
Through adversity.
Is miniscule.
To the
Resilience
I own.
As a child
of
Exceptional Parents.

Mother Knows
Mother
Do you know what you’ve done
Did you see what you did
Was all for fun
Was he really worth it
Would he come back now
When he took his due
Was the night for him
Or did he care for you
Daughter
Mother please don’t cry
I know what I’ve done
I chose him well
He is really the one
He loves me true
This I swear to you
When the sun will rise
He’ll be standing before you
Mother
Her heart did break
Her sweet little one
Gave all her love
And...

Dreams echoes and vibrations
This dream is now yours
know this to be true
I am but a bit character that someday will not be
To perhaps be a rose known as nemo
Surely that would put the bard to rest?
However I am rambling whimsical nonsensical
Kiddo daddy never stopped thinking of you
so much catching up with the constraint
So little time
To be honest I would not know where to begin
The first few years with you
Joy
Then those years long apart, scarcely an echo
empty silence would cause many to...

Winter in Cascais
This is a cold day, and bleak too, like a fish left behind
on the grass verge when the anglers go home for lunch
Sport fishing doesn't mean you want to eat the prizes
She is having salmon today at the cafe on the first floor of our building,
I, when a farm boy in Norway, was served salmon or trout every day except Sundays
will settle for a slice of ham, boiled potatoes and salad
Olive oil is used here in Portugal, but I think food tastes better with butter.
