Note to Friends and a Poem by Mother
Note to friends and a poem by my mother -
I've been advised by my doctors to practice strict bed rest until my baby arrives, which means I won't be writing for a few days. While it's a bit frustrating to slow down, I know it's what's best for my baby and me.
I'm in good hands. A special friend has graciously stepped in to help with my workload, and Joseph, my ever-supportive partner, is by my side, ensuring I'm comfortable and cared for every step of the way. And of course, David continues to provide financial support for which I’m grateful.

The Silence in our Friendship
You did this to us it was all your fault; You mesmerized us and led us to your cult.
the time we shared the hours you stole. How we look back upon them so miraculous and true was the time we had. You stole our very will, was that always your goal. We were helpless to resist. Lost in your comfort like a ship lost in the fog and mist. The world around us fills with deception so the darkness grows. Through the darkness coming in from all sides, we couldn't see beyond the end of our nose.
Trust lost and spirit broken, a rage inside us that we thought long since past is...

Letter to the Martyr in the Eye of the Hurricane
In the scars you carry
I see the story of courage.
You are the altar where bravery is sacrificed,
where the soul rises in sacrifice.
Each wound is a verse, each mark, a poem.
The pain you endured is the ink that writes your epic.
Your hands, once firm, now trembling,
held the sword of justice.
Your eyes, once full of hope,
they saw the world break into pieces.
And still, you remain standing,
rising like a beacon in the darkness.
Martyr's body,
you are the silent testimony of the struggle.
Your veins are rivers...
I see the story of courage.
You are the altar where bravery is sacrificed,
where the soul rises in sacrifice.
Each wound is a verse, each mark, a poem.
The pain you endured is the ink that writes your epic.
Your hands, once firm, now trembling,
held the sword of justice.
Your eyes, once full of hope,
they saw the world break into pieces.
And still, you remain standing,
rising like a beacon in the darkness.
Martyr's body,
you are the silent testimony of the struggle.
Your veins are rivers...

New Property Of That One Outlaw Motorcycle Club
Ellie woke up so hungover.
She sees a dragon tattooed on her.
She belongs to the Shoguns.

Nothing will go to waste
Welcome to my c-oven
you'll be sanctified
later on, you'll be purified
tomorrow, you'll be rectified
It's time...
it's time for the sacrifice
the sacrifice of YOU!
You wait for the cows to come home
but baby you squirm like an earthworm
sinker, hook & line
your organs we will dine
We slaughter and then we deep fry
crispy on the inner thigh
I now want more, just like a drunken whore
Like it or not,
dissected and cooked,
before you rot
Justify
Comply ...

I Will Remember Today
I think most
have walked the edge
the one separating is and isn't
a world of competing sensations
or the cloying tasteless grey
Some walk the edge as ritual
and a daily addiction
seeking reason
to pick up the burdens
of a lifetime of sin and regret
just carry it another mile
I have been this person
in many ways I still am
to live each day as the last
and in that final denial of humanity
something grows unforeseen
The flowing, caressing water ...

when the age of reason flow’rs,
for to rise above each crisis

in the giving and receiving,
hearts are touched and soles are healed,

let the strife be no deterrent

april songs: journey of life 6
april song 06—concupiscent
could the seed of every woman
save the seed of every man,
fate would fashion an in lieu plan
that the cosmos could not span.
for the seed of but one woman
could the serpent’s head make squash,
though the heel of this One True Man
felt a bruise—a mere wish-wash.
antecedent concupiscence
lusts the fountains of the mind,
as does consequent imprudence
leave all innocence behind.
but the vantage of the nations,
clothed with lowly righteousness,
is unmoved by mock oblations,...

april songs: journey of life 5
april song 05—infantile
thus the specimental blueprint
nurtured by umbilicus
comes to terms with awesome foot-sprint
whose Seed shall deliver us.
infantile—complete but helpless
—in the milk of human care.
shall He bloom blood-red and selfless,
with whose love none can compare?
is the crown of thorns too prickly
for the innocent of birth?
does the Cross bring death too quickly
to redeem a fallen earth?
could the seed of every woman
save the seed of every man,
fate would fashion an in lieu plan ...

Blood Priestess
Arrested in the dead of night
By cloaking shadows and
Swift Ferocity.
her icy grip
Sharply piercing my veins
With scalding fangs.
passionately embraced
by death and love
And The cost of pain
From her succulent Feeding
Off my life blood.
A lustful torment I can’t and will not deny.
Now Trapped within her soulless
shoebox
My breath receding
Finding comfort in the darkness
with no holes for breathing.
I am reborn.
My once familiar soul has been
discarded and torn
I am drained hollow. ...

Death Metal Lullaby
At night
I hear death metal
Playing faintly in the distance
Maybe from the downstairs apartment
Or maybe from the deepest expanse
Of my ignored existence
I’ve never been a death metal
Type of gal
I’ve always sought out smooth
Rhythms keeping their balanced tempos
And safe chords
Never been one to step on someone’s toes
Or argue
Or stand up for myself
A people pleasing monster
Denying only myself
So maybe at night
Is when my body rebels
Screaming into the night ...

Do Not Cry
When it's time for me to leave...
For my body do not grieve...
My soul has been lifted to the Heaven's on high...
So for my body do not cry...
For my body do not grieve...
My soul has been lifted to the Heaven's on high...
So for my body do not cry...
