Fast and furious A blurr Whizzing by I am The eye Watching from the center Holding it all together Dare I take a step Pulling me into A space Where the unknown plays A song Misunderstood By the anger That sits on the top shelf Watching and waiting to Start the whirlwind That protects The … Continue reading Spinning – June 17, 2019

Hovering – June 15, 2019
Nestled in, It was her Hovering in my head. Right there. I could feel her hand on my back, The smell she wore. As my eyes blinked closed I felt her dress lightly Brush my leg, And she was gone. In an instant, Forever.
To Let Go – June 12, 2019
The sadness that penetrates, Steam rises from your skin. Letting go Of something, Right in front of your face. You reach out to touch it, But it’s no longer The same. As it once was, To you, By choice. Bleeding out for too long The clot has begun to form The sticky Gelatin like substance … Continue reading To Let Go – June 12, 2019
Traverse – June 8, 2019
The edge Traversed Is narrow. The wind blows at your back, Pushing you forward. Vacillating, You obey. Disillusioned At the audacity Used In front of your face. You could jump Ending the fear. All things. Instead, you continue To be pushed Along the edge. Not strong enough To wear your thoughts On your sleeve. As … Continue reading Traverse – June 8, 2019
Pain – June 9, 2019
You tell me, Turn my pain into strength. It can only be strength. Because if it’s not It’s nothing, It’s death. Pain is always strength, To those who live through it.
Shake – June 10, 2019
Drifting, As the cloud Passes by. The bird teetering Through the breeze. The gentle shake that comes From the leaves, Soothes the aching soul. Unopened eyes, And rambling To the melody Sung. Refuge found In everything That was, And is to come. But right now, As the clouds stand still In their place. Birds chirping … Continue reading Shake – June 10, 2019
Spinning Tunnel – June 5, 2019
Untamed, tunnel spinning. The fairgrounds of grief. Dark And lonely. The murmurs coming from The end, calling us To the opening Across the way. The path unkind, So close. Arms stretched out Never quite there. Finger tips scratching The surface, Always present Slipping and clawing for traction. Shouting out silently For everyone to hear. The … Continue reading Spinning Tunnel – June 5, 2019
At Sea – March 28, 2019
Dipped my toes in the deep end, Searching for the unknown.

Fizzle – May 21, 2019
Why do we relive things, Rehash them, Over again. In hopes, at some point The madness will fizzle.
River Play – June 4, 2019
Toe tip Taps the clear Chilled stream. Sending a buzz Of hair standing on end Up through My leg, As it sinks into the pool. The shock spreads, The glass of ice water Clings to my skin, Detaining the Circulation of life. My eyes shoot open, Sprinkled with a splash Of the juice From the … Continue reading River Play – June 4, 2019
Fish – May 16, 2019
I’m a fish flopping out of water. On the street for everyone to see. Catch me Hold me firm. Cut me open And filet me. Always more Fish in the sea.
Obligatory Love – May 31, 2019
Working the room, A Filial beloved Drowns in The must permeating. ~~~ Building, Layers on skin. Blinding eyes To truth. ~~~ Sitting, solitary. An empty room surrounds me. The chill of metal On my legs Pressing into my hide, As one, we sit in place. ~~~ White walls Evade emotion. Fluorescent bulbs, No windows Seal … Continue reading Obligatory Love – May 31, 2019
Senses – April 3, 2019
I have been asleep at the wheel, Driving in the dark, Hands tied behind my back, Feeling my way through life, Senses turned off. Or so I thought.
Time Warp – April 12,2019
Eleven years. Together. Twelve and a half weeks. After. Ten weeks. Later. Worlds start spinning. Twenty-nine years have passed. Since I last saw you.
Green – April 19, 2019
Put up a pattern Label it green Feel the life moving, It’s ever so serene.
Impass – May 25, 2019
Lost interest, Fallen care. What is left for us? I’m unaware.
Eyes Wide Open – May 20, 2019
Pupils dilated. I see through to your sadness, Underneath into the pools of love. Pain floats close to the surface. Where ripples love to play, Distorting what you have to give. The anger stings the outstretched hand. Are your eyes wide open, Or halfway closed?
Motherless Daughter – May 24, 2019
Mama, please don’t go, I’m not strong enough. The memory of you, Lost in the waves of time And too volatile to prod. ~~~ Life moves fast, I had no choice. Heart breaks a thousand times each day Bellowing for you. ~~~ Your lessons are a record, In my mind, But I’m still weak Not … Continue reading Motherless Daughter – May 24, 2019
You’re the… – May 21, 2019
You're the ball to my chain You're the sandpaper to my wood. You're the gasoline in my fuel tank. You're the anchor to my ship. You're the sun to my mood. You are the heart to my soul. You're the you to me that makes us, us.
