I am torn, Ripped Right down the middle. Jagged Between my breasts. There’s a left, And a right. But what is left in-between? A peace, in me. Right there, Left behind.

The Passerby – July 31, 2019
Disturbed. A lifetime used To wonder, But never reach out. ~~~ Time is dirty, Muddy prints left. Tracking down Nostalgia lane. ~~~ Doors opened, That should have stayed closed. Latched and locked, But picked with curiosity. ~~~ Trouble spilling on the floor, Swept clean. Specks of dust remain, Undisturbed. ~~~ It is present, But invisible. … Continue reading The Passerby – July 31, 2019
Below Me – July 22, 2019
Flying, soaring No need to come down. Between the droplets of clouds, Arms slicing the crisp, wet air. Carving out a home A place where the pull Of everyone, everything Floats far below me.
Closed – July 17, 2019
A closed mind, Is a closed door, Is a lost opportunity That could have changed a life.
Timeless – July 16, 2019
Keeper of time, Of all things in life. Your ease, How you move In and out, Through and in-between. A marvel That is unseen.
My Reverie – June 13, 2019
The sky’s exhale takes flight, I’m drawn Beneath its branches. The law of Attraction is simple. The inexplicable Beauty of The trees breathing in the breeze. A gift of life in motion So pure, unaltered to the naked eye. Praised by The attention Of those who see. Just as it’s supposed to be, I want … Continue reading My Reverie – June 13, 2019
Last Wishes – July 15, 2019
Final goodbyes break my heart. Falling into a million shards of glass. Can’t move. Can’t breath. It’s all coming down Raining, and washing away the hurt. That falls from The unknown, And leads you to somewhere. Never of your choosing Lost in a place. A land foreign to your being. A man she once called … Continue reading Last Wishes – July 15, 2019
When You Know Me – July 14, 2019
Covered with a new skin I dream of the day I surface In front of you. Naked, Just like the first time. We’ll judge, And see what we want to see, But will you love me For who I have become? Shell cracked Stepping in front of you, This is me. Will you love me, … Continue reading When You Know Me – July 14, 2019
Let’s Talk – July 14, 2019

The Looks – July 3, 2019
Toxic, The looks we give. Disappointment in a bottle. Scorching the fibers That build their self-esteem.
Smile Through – July 9, 2019
The hardest thing to do Is smile through All the pain carried Deep inside of you.
Contagious – July 9, 2019
The energy spewed, Spit across the room. Spattered, Exerting an electricity, Contagious. Passing from generation to generation Gaining strength as it travels, Further from the epicenter of its origin. Leaving a trail of tears, frozen. No longer knowing why, But—-just—is.
Faucet – July 3, 2019
My second-hand life. I want to live, Be me. Stop playing the game, Turn off the faucet.
Once Was – July 9, 2019
Put it down, they say. Enough is enough, they huff. I am mad, because I am sad And I just don’t have any energy today. To be there, like I once was.
Nitpick – June 24, 2019
When you're angry, you nitpick. That can lead to trouble. Or worse yet, regret.
