Revivified
It is better if you lie awake
then to visit any dream.
As you can recall,
they are currently nightmares.
The rising heat
keeps you bare-skinned.
Hand me your heart
I will untangle you
and bring back your fire.
You do not need to know how to travel.
You do not need to hide you are art.
Brought a boat for you.
The seas are calm
and we sway
with the ocean's journey.
Let us escape to a time
when you were once whole.
You were made perfect.
So unique that you were left hollow.

Was loneliness reason enough
not to build upon my fallen ego
But just to sit fireside, together
while mother nature cursed us outside
It's not as if I was all taker,
I offered, I fed, your hunger
And you, so generous with your breast
where I laid down my weary head
and we dreamt of the ocean
Prisoners, must we retain the shackles
knowing that one day,
rust will eat them away
So late in our winter, arthritic
too late to try mended wings
If we stop to think, such depth
just what could we...

Hum, Is It Shingles
I would like to pass on relevant information. There seems to be a spike in Shingles cases as of late. Some of my residents have been affected, and I just wanted the masses to be advised.
Anyone who have had chickenpox may develop shingles. It isn't known what reactivates the virus.
Shingles causes a painful rash that may appear as a stripe of blisters on the trunk of the body. Pain can persist even after the rash is gone (this is called post herpetic neuralgia).
The rash consists of blisters that typically scab over in 7 to 10 days and fully clear up within 2...

The Promise
there they were
still laid up at 7:16 am
he stayed up
all night comforting her
in her loss
in one of
the most trying moments
of her life
he decided to be
more than just a gentleman
he gave her
his gentle soul to rest
her head upon
he kept his clothes on
undressed his ego
just so he could address
the tender rawness of her emotions
from a place of
genuineness compassion
and empathy...

Mother’s Day
You laid a path for me to follow
Though sometimes life can be hard to swallow
But you were there to hold my hand
And encourage me to step off the beaten path
You painted a world alive and green
And helped open my blue eyes to see
On this day now I recognize
Your caring influence in my life
Now I walk fast while you walk slow
But by this you still teach me how to grow
And with your age you will see
There’s still a child holding your hand…
…that’s me 🥰

feelings VS friendship
always the listener
never any judgement
im a little person
not big enough to carry all this weight
all your secrets are heavy
they over flow my thoughts
why did you pick me
to hear all your dirty shit
everyone always seems to think
my shoulders are strong
look again.....

The Suicide Rubric
At the end of a defeating day
Or after a profound disappointment
Or just because life
has a mandatory suck factor
I'll sometimes casually state
that I want to kill myself
It's my form of drama
and more innocuous
than drama that hurts others
unless you're stuck in an elevator with me when I'm in a fit of self pity
But I usually get over it quickly,
and I'll make you laugh after, or even during it
The responses to my pithy or pitiful decrees of wanting to exit the planet
of course range in quality.

sensory overload (a love letter)
I see you
a wayward son
drawing strength from shadows
picking through grey bouquets
of crestfallen moments
wild, uninhibited, unfair
are how those blossoms
slowly faded
into a new kind of blackness
I know each thought invasively meanders
scattering like seed- far and wide
understanding that quickly taking root
by digging deep, is to bury an always
i see you ask yourself if it's possible to reconcile pain
given how hurt grows with such ease
when watered by a tide of tears...

Eternally grateful
Eternally grateful
It seems things are changing and I'm rolling out into the light, I'm beginning to accept who I am the light in me shines bright
Yes I'm not the man I was, now I'm a broken poet in a chair but it doesn't mean my life's over, I've got people that still care
People that I see often, some who call me every single day, some I've never met face to face, who live so far away
Each person sends me love, each of you play your part, giving me the strength to carry on, know you all live inside my heart
To you all I'm so grateful...

Loving Touch
Sometimes, things are going wrong
You've had enough and you feel
Like you're just not tough enough
To make it through
Just think of me and how much
I love you and remember that
I'm here for you
Yes, I'll always be here for you
(Chorus)
Close your eyes and visualize
That I'm there with you
I wanna help see you through
I just wanna keep loving you
Your loving touch means so much
It's true your love is
A bright spot in my day
And darling, I've just got to say
I want to love you in everyway ...

Quest
A quest to find the light for you
(because you said you’re in the dark) --
there’s little else that I can do,
so maybe I can share a spark.
Encouragement through silly stuff
(a quest to find the light for you) --
I know it isn’t quite enough;
perhaps it still might help you through.
I hate to see you feeling blue,
so every beam I will collect.
A quest to find the light for you,
and share it next time we connect.
To find the joy among life’s flaws—
it’s been a challenge for me too.
