Talking to you…Dear Children, – June 28, 2019
To my children in case of my untimely death (because this is the shit I think about), We are all born on the same path, every living being is given the opportunity to live and to die.

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.
I want – June 30, 2019
You—you live, For what I want. Your breath, Sends shivers Blowing past my ear. The outline Of your silhouette, Curving Making my mind twist Until I surface Legs Knotted Crickets chirping Calling out In some rhythmic form. Making the blood pump Waiting for you—you Give me what I want. The oblivion Of where I exist … Continue reading I want – June 30, 2019
One Question – June 19, 2019
I’ve been waiting, For you to ask, One simple question. Instead of a statement, It could change the course we’re on...
Wherever – June 29, 2019
I quit. I’m done. No more of this, It’s over. I look up, But to the rear. Seeing the distance I’ve traveled, Hitting the gas. Tires howling To the next stop, Wherever that may be.

I remember that day, So very long ago. Stuck in my head, A blink of an eye, It appears Right in front of me. ~~~ I followed her up the stairs, Like you always told me to do.

Lines – June 22, 2019
Smooth Running, On and on and on... ~~~ Horizon stretched tight, My heart pitter patters. A blip, Up and down, Up and down, And again. ~~~ A calming Sense of length. Streaking by On a rider’s Journey. ~~~ Yours and mine, But a dash. Continuing to travel Long after we’ve Ceased. ~~~ The rill of … Continue reading Lines – June 22, 2019
Unscathed – June 20, 2019
To free my grasp, I’ve held on so tight. My jaw is clinched, Always tapping My own shoulder, A reminder to release. For a moment My grip loosens, And my teeth are unscathed.
Birds – June 20, 2019
Sometimes, I wonder ~~~ How do you hear The birds chirping, And not get annoyed? Shut the fuck up! ~~~ In the same breath Keep on chirping!
A Whimper – June 20, 2019
Startled, Eyelids spring open, Slowly closing into a haze. A touch unknown. Half exposed, The darkness continues Beyond the curtains. What caused this stir? Life lived with her? Synapses fired me To a stooped attention. I did not see her face. It was, The after, That brought me here. Weeping Into, the silence Broken, By … Continue reading A Whimper – June 20, 2019
Lemonade – June 17, 2019
Do I drain you? Enfeebled, Articulating All of these letters. Strung together A welcome banner Wrenched taught Between posts. Only to point you Toward the exit, Far from this place. An escape That feels fresh And light. Go ahead, Drink the lemonade. A rush of sweetness Hits your tongue. Finding the beauty In each gulp. … Continue reading Lemonade – June 17, 2019
Put It Away – June 16, 2019
Put it away, Pick it up. ~~~ You have no place, You are a pretty face. A holder of spots, A keeper of quiet. Not to be heard. ~~~ Pick it up, Put it away.
