Longing
The highs and lows forever shape me
Even inside the deepest shade of blue
Each verse written screams to be free
With every word longing to remain true

Dirty little slut...
To press me against the wall... harshly...
To the point of pain... not caring.
To break the kiss... from my tender lips, bleeding.
To give myself to you... completely.
To melt in your strong arms... powerless.
To fall on the bed of sighs and screams... begging.
To vulgarity sounds in a non-stop rhythm... unintelligible, confused.
To where you take me and don't stop... oblivion.
To stretch the night from yesterday to tomorrow... madness.
To know that the day is hidden behind the groans... darkness.
To forget absolutely about conscience and...
To the point of pain... not caring.
To break the kiss... from my tender lips, bleeding.
To give myself to you... completely.
To melt in your strong arms... powerless.
To fall on the bed of sighs and screams... begging.
To vulgarity sounds in a non-stop rhythm... unintelligible, confused.
To where you take me and don't stop... oblivion.
To stretch the night from yesterday to tomorrow... madness.
To know that the day is hidden behind the groans... darkness.
To forget absolutely about conscience and...

... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...

I can feel it
I can feel it...
the sun on my face
the breeze in my hair
the joy in my gut
the spring in my strut
I can feel it...
the dark in my veins
the shame in my soul
the wrong in my right
the cry in the night
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to feel it all
I want to shut my eyes
Let the cloak of numbness fall
To feel the love
is to know the hurt
.
the sun on my face
the breeze in my hair

I can feel it...

I don't know how to feel it all

Giving thanks this holiday season
Some of you knew
Others didn’t
In early January 2024
I was diagnosed with having a/fib
Atrial Fibrillation
How could that be ?
I never felt the symptoms particularly
Yet it was
Blood thinners immediately prescribed
Other heart drugs too
Then
Complications from drugs
More doctors
Lots of tests
Terrible interrupted sleep
Peeing like no tomorrow
Then
I started to listen to my doctors
Also to myself
Decisions to be...

Sinking Down
A jack of all trades and a master of none
Isn’t that what you told me when you were young?
So many restless nights avoiding the sun
Careless whispers spoken with a poison tongue
Sinking down with the lowest of lows
Words are subtle jabs leading to blows
Never throw stones inside this fragile house
When did you stop listening to such sound advice?
An alley cat stalks the unsuspecting mouse
Playing life’s game costs us more than what’s suffice
Sinking down until insanity seizes control
Lies are a cancer that slowly kills...

An alley cat stalks the unsuspecting mouse
Playing life’s game costs us more than what’s suffice

Adjacent Fires
Dreams are like sermons from false prophets
Indeed, if it wakes me
I may jot down key words
around the edges of the current page
within my bible
That lays upon the nightstand
beside the bed
That word; Holy, glaring like a mockery
So I never close the book, to expose the cover
to my bedroom sins
when I'd digress from each chapter
Just to wait and see
if I get to wake up in the mornings
~
The coroner had declared
that my brother had died in his sleep
(After a night of particular decadence) ...

keepin' it movin'
I'll be honest
I don't know my full purpose
why I'm here
as fractured as a cracked egg
held together only by the tissues inside
but that's life...isn't it
an enigma tattooed in damage & stigmas
steps sometimes faltering
...others defiant
I don't know what tomorrow holds in its fist
only that it won't offer me an early glimpse
so I fumble...stumble...trundle along
one foot after the other
picking myself up when I'm beaten down
& limp off to try again
no...I don't know why I'm here
what I'm put on this...
I don't know my full purpose
why I'm here

I don't know what tomorrow holds in its fist

we are, you know...
we are more than poetry
more than our words
spread so elegantly...
...so carefully...
...across the page
consider them merely stains
...of tears
& bloodtrails...
showing the outline of our pain
but these sentiments are tempered
allowing only the briefest glimpse
miniscule peeks at the agony within
we are giants trapped inside thimbles
struggling & straining
...for more space
& these fragmented offerings shared
barely scratch the surface
of the vastness within
we are deeper...

The Thing About This Survivor
I’m on to you
I’ve learned from people far better than you
If I’m uneasy
There’s a reason
I may not know what your game is
But I’ve already been watching you
This girl’s radar is hyper focused
I’ve already been putting the pieces together
Enjoy what you have now
Because what you want
You’re not going to get
The puzzle may not be completed yet
You’re going to help me
And you’re not even aware
Be warned
I may appear weak
But you have no idea
What I’m capable of
I’ve learned from people far better than...

Collage Art - Not Pretty - What I Do
On purpose
Cut up old paintings
Make collages
This one came out rustic
Added oil pastels
Functional
Not pretty
Life is like that
I’m not pretty anymore
Most parts still working …
