ENOUGH
I may have a face that's ugly from scars of youth full of acne
my hair may be unkempt and in total disarry, but, at least its clean
body is scarred for life from self mutilation or surgeries unseen
never have I been considered ever pretty enough.
My cheeks may be ripe for pinching to tell me that I am just cute
hips full and round like my belly sometimes is unlike my ass
louder than life itself mouth and oversized bust, no substitute
never have I been considered to be slim enough.
I've been labeled as stupid and told
was immature and...

NEED A CUDDLE
Need a cuddle, perhaps you're are available?
Promise I will not dally and linger too long
Perhaps seven or possibly eight hours
Quite possibly maybe till the break of dawn.
Give me enough time to satisfy this craving
That lingers with me all day and
all night
I am soon gonna wind up in the loony bin
If I can not get a taste of your sweet delights.
Need a cuddle, perhaps you are available?
To take me to heaven and we'll knock on the door
I promise I will not ever overstay my welcome
It'll only be until eternity,...
Promise I will not dally and linger too long
Perhaps seven or possibly eight hours
Quite possibly maybe till the break of dawn.
Give me enough time to satisfy this craving
That lingers with me all day and
all night
I am soon gonna wind up in the loony bin
If I can not get a taste of your sweet delights.
Need a cuddle, perhaps you are available?
To take me to heaven and we'll knock on the door
I promise I will not ever overstay my welcome
It'll only be until eternity,...

Journal Entry - If I Were
Dec. 7
As my head rested on his chest, I looked down across the span of Joseph’s body, so lean and firm. While listening to his breathing, I thought to myself...
If I were a painter, I’d paint him, dipping my brush in the hues of the emotions that swirled around us, creating a canvas that mirrored the depths of our love. Every stroke would be a testament to the beauty he shared with me.
If I were a sculptor, I'd sculpt him, molding him from the finest clay, shaping each contour to capture the essence of his being. The cool touch of the purest clay would echo...

SPILL YOUR INK
Spill your ink on blank page. Express your rage.
Suppression only leads to mental pain.
Without catharsis, art is trapped in cage.
Trauma will stain, as you age.
Gain your stage.
Sage soul smiles.
It's worthwhile to tame your flame. Poetry is perfect for thoughts to drain.
Sane words flow to show feelings have no shame.
Mute charcoal clouds, hail chord sounds.
Tear drop rain.
Brain feels free.
Peace now reigns.
Clear skies bring glee.
Release of burdens cleanse untouched debris.
Suppression only leads to mental pain.
Without catharsis, art is trapped in cage.
Trauma will stain, as you age.
Gain your stage.

Mute charcoal clouds, hail chord sounds.

Peace now reigns.
Clear skies bring glee.
Release of burdens cleanse untouched debris.

Habits of Life
The new life growing in me is at the mercy of how I care for myself. If I smoke, my baby smokes. Since I think she’s too young to make such decisions, I decided to stop smoking. I hope my future daughter doesn’t mind that I replaced that habit with a habit I began at age 12 while lying on my stomach watching a couple kiss on TV.

It Just Comes Naturally
Grown men, and not to sound condescending, but I smile while watching them tromps across the grocery store parking lot, arms swinging, pants drooping, like little boys all grown up.
From three to eighty.
I love it!
They pull their saggy bottoms up, adjust their stride, and if their wives are present she looks them over, like a mothering hen.
And the women?
Do women always act like they have it all together?
Or are we expected to always have it all together?
I love taking care of the men in my life.
I'd miss it greatly if the opportunity was...

Winter Of '94'
I stepped out of the warm car into the bitter cold this morning, and it was like my own personal whirl wind came to chariot my heart through the tree tops, and whisked me instantly to the Blizzard of 94. I literally broke down right there in that parking lot, my heart pounding and tears flooding my eyes. For a split moment, I was a child again, bundled up in red boots that laced all the way to my boney knees, toboggan itching my head from running and sweating while I was playing in the snow, as we climbed about in our ice fortress. You see, my grandpa had spent all day carving huge blocks of...
