Broken Girl
at first it looks like
i'm a confident and
independent lady
while deep inside
there is this lonely
little girl who has
never felt loved
at times all that
she wants is for
someone to take
her hand, guide
her and lead her
through the battle
fields called life
show her the way
protect her tell her
she'll be okay, that
she's safe, that she
is and will always be
perfect exactly as she is

she tells them she's not looking to get involved
that they should just keep it moving
they insist they aren't either
...they just want to be friends
& isn't it just conceit on her part...to presume
but she's so often been driven down this well-traveled road
...knows where it probably leads
...& how it will likely end
her constant response to this accusation
to a sense of over-inflated ego
...is always the same
it might be...I am too full of myself...
...if it hadn't so frequently proven...

Softy Co-Piloting Your Mind First Class (Air Style)
To be in the know moment one takes time to see things as others cannot grasp the concept or lose focus of presented perceptions
We go through life to make better choices for ourselves
For the parents who have children, safeguard their future the best way possible
Read to them is always my advice
Do not allow highway information from the internet to be the window of their innocent souls
What happens when you live in a world that not only supports you...

Hymn to the Mother
This one is for women.
Childless women.
The ones who have been
asked with that curious eye
“So why don’t you have kids?”
as you turn to say “actually
it’s got fuck all to do with you,
Sandra”
and it hasn’t.
Not a thing.
Because I think of my womb
as priceless—
so priceless, my child
could not afford to stay
and so
I cut out the shape of my Evey
as though she is a paper-doll
and motherhood is the scissors
I curl
her hair as if it is bright ...

Countess Zero
Countess Zero
Countess Zero aims for the heart
With California lipstick cocktail
Mixed in Bloody Mary fire
To burn the calypso drums
Wild with the gloss of a grin
Hot with Malibu summer seasoning
Whose Tabasco lips are lit with the sizzle
Of a thousand peppers strung in strands
That cascade into the cosmic nova
Of a million stars born into seduction
That glitter like blue abalone shells
From the sea in her crystal ball eyes

Moonlapse
What symptoms are you noticing?” he asks.
And I fumble with words,
trying to shove the frayed thread of them
through the needle’s eye
of all the awkward ways that I am
dissatisfied and
confused and
just generally itchy
in both my psyche and
in parts he can’t comprehend
And clear as day I can read his thoughts
as they float in a massive midair speech bubble:
“please let her mention something
that I can order tests for…”
But there is no test for the way
my soul has stopped fitting in this body, ...

The true beauty of Woman
Maybe men mistake the power of femininity,
For they harbor judgments that fail to see,
Some hate older women, blind to their wisdom,
Viewing them as young, in their own delusion.
Skin colors, some despise, preferring between,
Missing the beauty in each vibrant sheen.
They label him skinny or fat, blind to his essence,
Reducing worth to mere physical presence.
Prostitutes they call liberated women,
Unaware of the freedom they have striven.
Complex, they label independent souls,
Ignoring the strength that within them unfolds. ...

The five holy fires\one virginal
Vesta veiled
venusial vault
mine to keep
a meadow lies open
harvesting awareness
a demure harpsicord
casts my shade
I have long existed
in frocked late frost
masked mildew
melancholia
sings synched
from
my ten fold tiered tiara

Promised Land
Promised Land
Like the sun rising over the Promised Land
She flies her auburn kite
On wings of a Celtic angel
With embered tresses unfurled
Over the blue sky of her deepening eyes
That gaze from her cherry tree of life
Whose maraschino lips are the halo of dawn
That breaks through my blue boy clouds
With the kiss of infinity
Upon my million secret stars
Like the sun rising over the Promised Land
She flies her auburn kite
On wings of a Celtic angel
With embered tresses unfurled
Over the blue sky of her deepening eyes
That gaze from her cherry tree of life
Whose maraschino lips are the halo of dawn
That breaks through my blue boy clouds
With the kiss of infinity
Upon my million secret stars

A thousand names and more
If
this were to be final
when dusk turns dust
I would watch the last paragraph
of the last poem
from each outline
of a cloud bathing in a light
I would catch tears
through moons eyelashes
knowing bridal rites of the sun
watch each chaliced spiral rise
from mesopotamian sea
where driftwood finds me
I would meet you once again
where all threads are woven
to invite what becomes us
you the initiate would exhale
what is feared for, what is...

Camp Counselor Crush
Camp Counselor Crush
Summer in New Orleans was artichokes dipped in sour cream, plantains ripening in the backyard, and ready to be fried by Mom in a skillet to sweeten my boyish tongue with tropical flavors that summoned the Tarzan in my heart. When Mom baked baklava in the oven the scent was as sweet as the smile of the ladies who strolled the streets of the neighborhood on their evening walks wearing scarves like the Turkish maidens in the pictures from the village of Yalova on the shores of the Sea of Marmara that I only saw in slides from my Dad’s projector.
