Impoverished Addict
Ghetto calling
So hungry
So thirsty
On fire
Calling your name
Rancid stench
Glass shard womb
The atmosphere suffocates
The voices
The fear
Monkey climbing up your leg
If the shoe fits, curl up and die in it

Warning Labels
Remember back in the late 1980's, early 1990's when every rap artist & metal band were getting a warning label on their album?
The PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) led by Tipper Gore was a force to be reckoned with at that time
They literally tried to censor art with placing a Parental Advisory Sticker on anything they deemed offensive
Those jackasses thought everything from John Denver to Twisted Sister was immoral.
Guess what happened?
It backfired right in their face!
Kids were curious and began purchasing all the so called naughty and raunchy albums...

A man standing in the mirror yelling,
"Where were you when I needed you?!"

All The Green-Cap Mothers
I step through a willow gate
into May’s orchard
it’s where we chose
to meet this month,
this community place
huddled beneath sky
and spring blossoms
and so I enter an old yurt
looking at a filthy floor
more dirt than wood
slowly watching feet
gather through grime
it felt like a metaphor
so much bigger than myself
as I sat down in a camping chair,
poured myself hot tea from a flask
and thought about how it never changes,
my desire to see these women thrive

Writer's Block
I was a soft rolling river
Enjoying my day
Sparkling and twinkling
Relaxing into May
Then I felt it
Subtle at first
Trying to move
It began to hurt
There it was
the reason for my pain
A damn beaver’s dam.
Mission to drive me insane
It blocked my flow
What should I do
I really don’t know
No one to turn to
Mother Nature took pity
On me you see
A bolt of lightning
Hit the dam making debris
I started to move
It was not quite the...

Hymn to Connections
By lunchtime
we’d booked our digs
made an itinerary
set up a WhatsApp group
labelled it with cute emojis
changed the profile picture
to illustrate the potential
of wild girls on tour
away from
our Husbands
our kids
our doctors.
Don’t get us wrong,
it’s not that we despise those things
but sometimes, us women peak
when we’re allowed to return
to the feral, intuitive weirdos
we are when we’re cut loose
from the kitchen
feeding our souls
as well as our bodies

Cocked & Loaded
She looked so goddamn sexy with that gun in her mouth.
It really brought out her cheekbones.
Ohhhhh Yeahhhhh, I get really aroused and hard just thinking about it.
I wonder if she'll pull the trigger?
Do you think I can encourage it?
Let's change the subject!

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...

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

not meant to tell
Truly belonging
in the heart of the storm

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
