her.
Stretched out on the floor
our 'bed of pillows'
she laid between my legs
me, leaning against the couch
as her head and body rested
on my chest, within my arms
We watched Swingers
for the umpteenth time—
absent-mindedly,
her fingertips
circled the delicate skin
of my hands and wrists
bewitched - I watched her, unknown
relishing each caress of her fingers,
deeply inhaling the smell
of coconut mixed
with Florida sunshine
A combination
that still inflames, ...

Cheerless
Wandering amidst a vast landscape of solitude and isolation
It’s only in my mind I feel safe.
That in itself is a brain copulation.
I can’t write what I don’t know.
I know discontentment.
An escape from anything real
is a joyful release from this ______.
Everything is even keeled
if I conceal ALL this sadness
O’ the obtuse nerve!
Masquerading behind my façade
of false hope...please look away!
The very last thing I wish...
is to infect anyone else with this
Ugly

200 instances of soulful betterment.
Attempts and failures,
lessons that will forever live
in warm memories
and a heart
that swells
in prideful humility
The pure joy
of new friendships
trusted confidants
and simply, the most
generous, beautiful hearts
Becoming woven
within nature's bosom
to better understand
my own place
in the world

Learned structure,
fused of raw empathy
to eyes open in truth—
That living my humanity
fearlessly on the page
is where

A swim through the hourglass and a fall through the cracks of time.
(ii.)
July 2019—
it's within seconds,
perhaps less
and i'm comfortably lost
wayward and winding
twisting through curves
a soaring float without end
upon a 'something'
a mind's version
this, my ethereal misty
being lighter than
ever before
my husk and i
traveling so high
an inner voice,
the one
of non-stop nagging
quieted now
only one sound—
blood rushing in veins
or...

HER Birth
To me each day was like the last- The same
nothing ever changed and I was to blame
I think what held me back was my past - The shame
Although I never noticed how it dimmed my flame
I trapped in this self made prison of pain
I had no dreams, no plans and no aim
I Somedays I couldn't even say my own name
I was the joker of this card game
To all who would ask I would proclaim
That all was good, Yes a good liar I became!
Weak, Debilitated, Incapacitated and tame
Then the moment of realization of what's happening came......

there are only a few people you can go inside with.....
choose carefully
you'll know pretty fast
what's what
It's not mystery
more like trust
appreciation too
it's a long journey
it can start one way
move over with time
there's a beginning
the middle is the best part ....

My Shadow
Only the shadow is always everywhere
Strives to keep up with its loyalty,
and as an eternal friend
Lie down at my steps.
And to repeat my movements -
Her uncomplaining tribute,
Her fate, destiny,
An involuntarily chosen altar.
Wherever I went, wherever I was,
Looming somewhere in silence,
And flying like a black raven,
Draws an outline on the wall.
You do not know the palette,
Shades of black and gray,
Only the night in you is always hidden by
A moving dull canvas.
You only touch part of...
Strives to keep up with its loyalty,
and as an eternal friend
Lie down at my steps.
And to repeat my movements -
Her uncomplaining tribute,
Her fate, destiny,
An involuntarily chosen altar.
Wherever I went, wherever I was,
Looming somewhere in silence,
And flying like a black raven,
Draws an outline on the wall.
You do not know the palette,
Shades of black and gray,
Only the night in you is always hidden by
A moving dull canvas.
You only touch part of...

POSITIVE POWER OF GRATITUDE
I'm a slow learner but I have
finally learned the joy, power,
uniqueness, and blessings which
come into my life free of charge
because of GRATITUDE. I have
learned, and am still learning
what it really means to be grateful
for everything--NO, this is not a
Thanksgiving mantra but a
24-7-365 cognitive attitude
I have chosen to develop.
I try to express and share this
amazing human virtue, a miracle
of human relations, with everyone.
I've developed my own learning
ACROSTIC:
G-iving to others ...

Edging to save
Crash and burn at times

Epilogue of Rain
The epilogue of the rain
sounds like quelling silence.
A solve unto my pain -
a mystery I cannot solve.
Maybe I am insane -
I have long thought but never said.
because…
being insane was something that always made me proud.
Does that make me insane?
I guess I just didn’t want to be the same
as all those people in the crowd.
I guess I just wanted my silence to be loud
and vanquish the seeds sown
by lying scheming manipulative powers that be
that write the script of you and me
...

The Criminal
I have been trained
or indoctrinated
or…
Manipulated
to
perceive
that everything
I do
or…
Think
is wrong
or…
incorrect
possibly illegal
and
I am a criminal
And you know what happens to criminals
or indoctrinated
or…
Manipulated
to
perceive
that everything
I do
or…
Think
is wrong
or…
incorrect
possibly illegal
and
I am a criminal
And you know what happens to criminals

it's all about ME
I told her that this morning
Then I told her to write a poem about ME
I blamed my morning espresso on my cocky attitude
Than I blew my cover and blamed myself
That's how it cuts around here
Obsession isn't easy
Sure beats no obsession
That's just beige
You know how I feel about that
Then I told her to write a poem about ME
I blamed my morning espresso on my cocky attitude
Than I blew my cover and blamed myself
That's how it cuts around here
Obsession isn't easy
Sure beats no obsession
That's just beige
You know how I feel about that
