The Poetry Won’t Bring You Back
Pouring over these former letters
Reactivating the potency of my emotions
How do I keep the memory of you alive
What good is it to look in rearview
I can’t help but reminisce again
When every word is a snapshot from my heart
Writing to commemorate, honor, and ache for you
Another letter, another year, another moment I feel the lack
So many words to express my love
Yet no matter what I say, the poetry won’t bring you back
Speaking like floral arrangements at the grave of another memory
When there’s so much I wish you...
Reactivating the potency of my emotions

Another letter, another year, another moment I feel the lack
So many words to express my love
Yet no matter what I say, the poetry won’t bring you back
Speaking like floral arrangements at the grave of another memory
When there’s so much I wish you...

Oh So You Love Me Huh?
When I hear the word 'love'
I run.
Not physically, maybe yes
But mentally I evade, disappear, compulse into a fit
Die a thousand miserable deaths.
It's having every glass around me shatter into a million pieces aimed at and racing into my direction.
Cutting, piercing, lunging through my flesh
Cause 'love ' that word is my trigger
A ticking time bomb buried so deep in my subconscious
I don't even think of it.
But you said it,
I love you, I've fallen for you, blah blah blah
Then I begin to sink
Into a whirl pool of my...

The Garden
This daisy says he loves me
The next he loves me not
I’m sitting in the backyard
In my garden
On a rock
I remember all the hope in me
The day I bought the seeds
I thought this would be good for me
The purpose that I need
Instead the flowers bring me pain
I hoped they’d bring me joy
They each hold now a reason
The daisy, my love for a boy
Each petal reveals a promise
What my fate will be today
So far he loves me so this time
Although it doesn’t feel that way
White orchids give me...

night sadness
Night is the blotting paper for many sorrows.”
—African Proverb
when day tasks are done
and the world is gone
and the sun bows down his head
and the doors are closed
and tight locks imposed
and the atmosphere is dead
my spirit swells within my breast
confined against my will
because the night brings more unrest
than can my fervent quill
transcribe....

Crossed woRrOADds
I'm screaming
from inside
the pretty cage you put me in.
And I'm supposed to be grateful
for the lack of choice.
A man who cannot hear me
Cannot care for me.
Should not speak for me.
You had my words
but their meaning
ran like water
through your hands.
Now we're sifting through the sand,
knocked off our feet.
And arguing over what the definition of love
Should LOOK like.
I don't have long enough to breathe, ...

I’m Going to Miss you Buddy
Be good, always be good
From the earliest of days you were there just to play, your spirit was just so good to start with
When we chose each other and I became master, I did not know all that that would entail
When you were young, you were carefree and dumb, much the same as your master
The mistakes that we made would one day be paid, but at the time there was nothing greater
But even back then I knew as you grew, my heart would one day have its day of disaster
Still for now we were proud, young, strong and stupid, all the...
