Floating adrift
I speak to you every single day
Through my lyrics, my rhythms
The messages I convey
You may think that I don’t notice you you see
When in-fact you’re all around me
You’re all I can and do see
I’m floating adrift and it’s hard to land
I’m drifting though a dream and
It’s not consciously planned
Don’t you dare sit there and try to pretend
That we can’t both see
Where this is gonna end
Why don’t you just sit tight
Whilst I illuminate your night
From the dark, from the dust...

Friends
Pain creates anger
Anger triggers oppressed thoughts
Lend someone a hand

The Calm in Crisis
In the midst of chaos
I am at peace
holding my hand
on the valve release
Always the mediator
for any crisis afloat
in need of saving
I am the life boat
Akin to disturbance
our lives interlace
tell me your troubles
I will hold your space
Traumatic events
I know them well
your secrets kept
not meant to tell
Truly belonging
in the heart of the storm
normal for me
where I was born
In turbulent times
I am at home
here I am calm
my place is known
I am at peace
holding my hand
on the valve release
Always the mediator
for any crisis afloat
in need of saving
I am the life boat
Akin to disturbance
our lives interlace
tell me your troubles
I will hold your space
Traumatic events
I know them well
your secrets kept
not meant to tell
Truly belonging
in the heart of the storm
normal for me
where I was born
In turbulent times
I am at home
here I am calm
my place is known

The Resilience of a Poet
The resilience of a poet comes from the heart
From the deepest part of the human soul
And yet there is a strength from this poetess
It’s something that can’t be expressed in words
But there is a profound sense of understanding
Something that takes time and tide and time again
It goes beyond the realm of our comprehension
Something this poetess sees and feels and tells
With every breath poetry pours with calmness
Illuminating like a beacon beckoning a smile
Reckoning the intricate webs and nuances of life
In admiration of stars...

I Am Me
That which makes me vulnerable
also affords me strength
protecting those I love
to any needed length
Kindness and compassion
for disadvantaged and meek
belief in service
for the sick and the weak
Empathetic by nature
no judgement of thee
a walk in your shoes
allowing me to see
Not without fault
far from perfection
apology for mistakes
builds a connection
I have no pedestal
for which to stand
when in your darkness
extending my hand
Caring and forgiving

Legalized Addiction
You probably see what the photographer photographed
A variety of liquor bottles ready for purchase and consumption
I sorta see that too
Many see this image and think of people partying, having a good time,
getting drunk and maybe fucking their lover or some total stranger,
alcohol has that effect
Many people use it to relax after a hard days work or school
Some may see alcohol as a crutch, a friend,
something they can turn to when life gets to heavy or complex

Loneliness Is More Hazardous to Your Health Than Obesity or Smoking
This isn't a story or a poem. This is real life. I'm writing this because many friends and family members I know are suffering. This problem has become drastically worse since 2020. We all know why...
Loneliness plays a role in many chronic health conditions, including pain, drug or alcohol abuse and depression. Recent studies have linked loneliness to an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease, heart attack and stroke, and lower survival rates for breast cancer patients. Studies have also shown that people who are lonely are more likely to experience:

Play With Fire....You know the rest
A 38 year old woman in America doused herself in gasoline and lit herself on fire in protest of one of those yearly Miss America Beauty Pageant's. Before lighting the match, the woman shouted slogans criticizing the pageant's exploitation of woman. Her last words were reportedly, "WATER! WATER! WATER!!"

HAMMOCK STRINGS (4-17-1994; Galveston Island Texas)n a
spring birds sing
wind chimes ring
a sleepy breeze

as i cocoon myself away
so effortlessly disconnected
from timeless hours
especially when
i need to most
now peacefully cradled
so weightlessly away
i drift suspended
in all these tranquil
hammock strings
which have recently
become

Habitual Dependence
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

Lend Your Hand
My visions tell no lies
someday were all going to die
until then open your heart
today's the day for you to start
no need to dwell in misery
smile & laugh spells victory
be kind and appreciate others
as a child we listened to our mothers
only one shot we have to plant a seed
lend your hand to others that are in need
someday were all going to die
until then open your heart
today's the day for you to start
no need to dwell in misery
smile & laugh spells victory
be kind and appreciate others
as a child we listened to our mothers
only one shot we have to plant a seed
lend your hand to others that are in need
