Withered
You cut all the beautiful flowers
wanting to surprise me,
but little did you know,
I was the garden itself.

Let it go
The shackles that I bare may be concealed yet sincere
The momentum that I’m gaining has proven thick for all these years
I have realized that I can no longer be ashamed of all my fears
Remember the past but let it go, let me be clear
The feeling of release will bring nothing but good tears
The shackles that I bare are no longer concealed nor are they near
Face the light she says for there will be a sound that fills your ears
As beautiful music slowly fills the air that’s here
There is no better feeling...
The momentum that I’m gaining has proven thick for all these years

Face the light she says for there will be a sound that fills your ears
As beautiful music slowly fills the air that’s here

where my pen, leads,
i follow,
hungering, for the read,
then, i swallow,
things pen breeds.

Wouldn't That Be Novel...
Do you think I can break free from this mental cell where my eyes are pinned open but my mind is deep asleep
Self sealed
Things were getting a little wild
Why do all the bad things make me smile
Everything toxic is so out of style
I keep on staring and I can't even see
Whatever it is left inside of me
I've carried the eyes of a feral child
A torn disguise well worn and used
A wild youth with a blow torch mouth
Is certainly not easily diffused
Twenty years past my mind is bruised
Lynched and cynched like a fistful of sand
But my...

Suffocation
I've grown, I've changed
I don't feel the same
This now feels so forced
Can I just quit this game?
Empty inside
Where's the passion C'mon!
I'm losing myself
Going, going, going...gone
I can't talk to you now
You won't accept these true words
You think love can be forced
Not with this firebird
Maybe this is it?
All I'll get in this life
Stuck with the labels you're given
Bitch, Cook, Mother, Lover, Wife
Fuck your shit stories
I don't want to hear them
Piss off with your perfect...

You won't accept these true words

I Rise
I RISE (2008)
Everyday thereafter has been exhilarating.
With each gradual step I rise and I breath to
lead a new deliberating me. I'm consciously
aware of the surroundings that have
impaired my freedom of self discovery. The
alleviating sound of harmoniously blessed
grounds being paved down beneath my
saved soul - lets me know, I won't be making
this journey alone.
I can clearly see the horizon stretched five
feet seven inches high, and I, have become
the accumulation of earth and its heavenly
skies. And...

THE DECISION
Thick and stagnant air fills my lungs. I breathe in deep, life draining away.
I scream and nothing is released, hear my pain, and see me struggle, watch me suffocate.
Before the lights go out I find the door - open it - do you feel that?
A cold piercing wind blows almost through me, almost lifting me off my feet.
I collapse into its embrace and allow it to carry Me away.
No more sadness, no more solitude - just weightlessness and my breath.
My chest rises and falls, tears wad over my face.
Inside he resides, my love long lost. Everything I know, I...

The Bathroom Mirror
Late last night my soul was disturbed. I was tensed and uncomfortable.
I left our bed and sluggishly entered our bathroom.
Leaning over the porcelain basin I lifted my head and looked at myself in the
Mirror.
“where are you?” I wanted to ask, but just how ridiculous would I look talking
To myself? Instead, I looked deeply into my own eyes and tried to find the boy I
Once was. Strangely I think he was looking back…I looked deeper and surely enough
There he was trying to see the man he would one day become.
I’d love to say I have no regrets,...

My Struggle
I'm hurt and beat.
Laying down in defeat.
I lay here on the floor.
Unsure of what to do anymore.
Not wanting to feel this way.
But on the ground I still lay.
What steps do I take?
Which choices do I make?
I no longer wish to hide.
From the sorrow inside.
Trying to stand my ground.
With the vigor I've found.
Laying down in defeat.
I lay here on the floor.
Unsure of what to do anymore.
Not wanting to feel this way.
But on the ground I still lay.
What steps do I take?
Which choices do I make?
I no longer wish to hide.
From the sorrow inside.
Trying to stand my ground.
With the vigor I've found.

Jeenor, an allegory of the self
Jeans, such wretched and irritating fabric
Enthalpy, the retention and release of heat
Energy, the vibration and radiation of all cosmic beings
No, recognize that saying no is ok
Opulent, you own everything
Rudimentary, poetry is archaic, lacking complexity, but making up doubly in its beauty

Platitudes
I think of you like a brother
Let’s just be friends
You deserve better
I would be poison for you
Nice guys finish last
I’m comfortable with how things are
Life is complicated right now
I just don’t see you that way
I get that I’m good
Just not bad enough
I deserve someone good
Someone that’s not you
You try to be nice
Well, usually anyway
But after 30 years of rejection
I’ve had enough. I’m away.
