You asked me how I am
Edgy
Moody
Horny
Irritatable
That's when I want you most

Seeking Comfort (In An Unforgiving World)
I didn't always make
the best decisions
While seeking comfort in
An unforgiving world
When I saw something I felt
Was worth pursuing
You can be sure that
I always gave it a whirl
I stood my ground
When fate turned me around
Some people tried
To destroy me
No one deserves that
I was getting paid
To serve the public
Only to get slapped down
In this unforgiving world
But in the end I rose
Above the chatter and noise
I just kept getting stronger
Facing my misfortunes
Shaking off...
the best decisions
While seeking comfort in
An unforgiving world
When I saw something I felt
Was worth pursuing
You can be sure that
I always gave it a whirl
I stood my ground
When fate turned me around
Some people tried
To destroy me
No one deserves that
I was getting paid
To serve the public
Only to get slapped down
In this unforgiving world
But in the end I rose
Above the chatter and noise
I just kept getting stronger
Facing my misfortunes
Shaking off...

most dangerous sin
A part of me dies each day while
another falls deeper in love!
How can one being experience this?
All these joys from up above
Why aren't dreams ever real?Why are
we told if you dream your a fool?
If it slowly tears you apart while allowing
you to fall deeper is just cruel!
Not something that happened fast which
Just Cemented your place in my heart
I never imagined it would tear me
down or even break me from the start
Destined to die a slow death but hey I'm
Nobody special it happens to all I'm sure
But...
another falls deeper in love!

What is la la la?
The sun goes down like a song
I heard my mom sing
in a kind of la la la way.
The only thing remaining is
that fragment of mother in sound.
The sun sounds like a metal chain
falling in the rain and piercing my brain.
La la la sun days.
The sun is shining in a drop of water
that traveled millions of years
through the universe
just to evaporate in milliseconds.
La la la mom.
I heard my mom sing
in a kind of la la la way.
The only thing remaining is
that fragment of mother in sound.
The sun sounds like a metal chain
falling in the rain and piercing my brain.
La la la sun days.
The sun is shining in a drop of water
that traveled millions of years
through the universe
just to evaporate in milliseconds.
La la la mom.

Self love
on the porno screen
of my mirror
I unbutton my buttons
n I watch a sexy lady
with sweet ecstasy
I smell her
I feel her young skin
I admire her
N I smile n
tease her ethereal curves..
n awww her forehead...
It's her luck
n I proud to her...
of my mirror
I unbutton my buttons
n I watch a sexy lady
with sweet ecstasy
I smell her
I feel her young skin
I admire her
N I smile n
tease her ethereal curves..
n awww her forehead...
It's her luck
n I proud to her...

Green home.
In country case
Where the trees are
Celebrated with a new
Star
And pumpkin spice latte
Is the milk cheese
Chocolate milk shake.
And pumpkin pie cakes
And apples green
Beans Greens
Soup of
Red mushrooms
🍄.
Cheese salads of apples and red cabbages
Vanilla Cake latte.
Milky white cheesecake Factory.
Green cheese and apple cider.
Yellow mustard mushroom
Munich green chili peppers
In cheeese cheddar.

Leap Of Faith
toes on the ledge
heart pounding
three-meter
diving platform
sun on shoulders
warm summer breeze
nostrils sense
hint of sage
life on the edge
heart pounding
clear blue water
beckoning

Dealing For the Mob
DEALING FOR THE MOB
Some connected guys needed honest skills to splay some cards in a sketchy sorta town. This Filipino cat caught that news , he threw my name around ,picture your first guess, head bowed, neck bent, the inveigled lean those heavy carats dressed , he knew where and he knew how , he knew that he knew the best, his darted whispers sipped some juice and hit dead center direct.
Gathered thought , wonders and risk, fixation fidgets the audition. These two huge men Guido and Johnny, were charged with hiring the new addition, which figuratively,...

List #3 Things I'd Rather Be Doing (instead of lesson plans)
1.Sitting in a peaceful spot in Goa, India with monkeys watching me crochet.
2. Soaking in a lavender scented bath with my soulmate.
3. Perusing Facebook Marketplace for great finds for my apartment
4. Sitting with my cat on my lap and a cup of hot ginger tea by my side, watching a
5th episode of Doc Martin, King of the Hill, or Sex and the City.
5. Chatting with a long-distance childhood friend
6. Editing photos I took Sunday of mirrored high-rise buildings
7.Trying on virtual hairstyles
8. Playing basketball in the urban park I just discovered ...

Tobacco edit
I wear tobacco on my skin like a bruise,
blood pooling in rivulets just beneath
translucent flesh, it sings,
less painful with time,
within congregations of smoke,
of her a decade ago, him a mere year,
it seals these doorways
with a glaze that forms between the shatterings.
She is
an egg amongst soldiers,
the nucleus pouring down the sides,
she is the waste,
the best bit.
I wear nicotine as a cloud,
holding in then belatedly exhaling rain.
or perhaps a scarf,
one to hide the truth

Tulips
I once thought my lips
Were flowers
I was only about six years old
As my parents
Told me not to chew lips
We lived in Holland at the time
With plenty of Tulips
And chewed lips
And bicycles
And humongus cheeses
Sealed in red wax
Dented in places
Seemingly perhaps
By wooden clogs
As i grew older
I learnt to chew lips
Of others
But in a more gentle fashion
Adding a whole new meaning
To going Dutch......

twixt a Rock...
I guess I've received
all life's taints
between those two infinities,
and remain here
by my own restraint
and the fear, what might greet me?

between those two infinities,
and remain here
