I want to sit by her grave soak in the sun And feel her warmth Put it’s arms around me I want to ride the wind Brushing the leaves from her name Running my fingers Down and around each letter ~~~ In my head Over and over again ~~~ I want to look over my … Continue reading Presence – May 3, 2020

Oblivious – April 30, 2020
Don’t go Don’t drift away Stay ~~~ It’s been too long Far, far too long ~~~ Would it have mattered The innocence it took The ugliness it planted ~~~ To have screen shots stuck In my head ~~~ Of the things I’ve seen Things I’ve witnessed ~~~ Long before I knew where it would end … Continue reading Oblivious – April 30, 2020
Mom Always Told Me – April, 25, 2020
Scared of the fury That lies tucked in Escaping Stale juices I teeter and totter Never aware Bound to pounce Leaking and merging Into limbo Passing On and on and on Feverishly Panting The covers tossed Across the room Landing Scattered and Messy But Still there Under-lying-ly knowing You have to Make the bed
April 27, 2020
Where are you hiding? I still like to look After all these years.
Blow Me Gently – April 24, 2020
Drifting softly My seeds will disperse Look for me Scattered Amongst the grass blades And in your hair Floating Floating As the wind catches a drift Cradled On your shoulder You are my world And the world Goes on But I’ll hold you dearly As you blow me gently
She Has Risen – February 27, 2020
Nature has a way Quietly seeping in I see you I smell you I hear you
Divided We All Must Stand Together – April 18, 2020
Twirl your finger Up, up and away Flicking it over here Or maybe over there Back and forth This then that You can't be wrong When you're always right Speak out Both sides of your mouth Listen to me Listen to them Enough. Lower your voice With a finger Pointing trite-ly in your face Shouting … Continue reading Divided We All Must Stand Together – April 18, 2020
Those Who Surround Us – August 13, 2019
Underneath it all There is a simplicity to me You’ve forgotten. ~~~ Lost somewhere In the wrappings of time. Love, sweet love. ~~~ Conversations stirred, Thought about, And payed attention to. ~~~ An outward feeling, projected in Which rests solely in the hands of those We choose to surround ourselves with
The Voice in my Head – April 10, 2020
The run off Disregarded Obsolete Frantic Heart racing Borderline Losing their shit Trying to understand The reason why It’s not that simple Deeper than we thought Gross Molding Fermenting Gurgling up And out Sicker to my stomach Than I’ve ever been Doing and doing The words are all lost Sprinkled And fallen Brought nowhere Until … Continue reading The Voice in my Head – April 10, 2020
Cocooned – March 14, 2020
This landscape has changed I look out my window And everything is the same It’s all wrapped around my head Choking the life I hold so dear Suffocating The beauty That I once saw I’m blinded By all this madness And just want to crawl beneath my covers Suck in the air Breathed out in … Continue reading Cocooned – March 14, 2020
Talking to you…water 4/9/20
I hope you don’t mind, Charlypriest... This feels like a story, an intense affair with crying. It was awhile ago, and birthed in the comments back and forth between the two of us...strangers and it meant nothing...but seems to be so much more. I couldn’t let it go. A song was shared: Addict With a … Continue reading Talking to you…water 4/9/20
Rhetorical Past – January 29, 2020
What if... Pictures were never hung Because they knew They’d have to be taken down ~~~ What if... closets were cleaned out Only to make room for another ~~~ What if... Tears were hidden Out of kindness To protect the ones you love most ~~~ What if... Words were never shared And years were lost … Continue reading Rhetorical Past – January 29, 2020
Cuts Deep – January 21, 2019
What is trauma? A sudden violent incident, Maybe it repeats, Or maybe just once... ...She always comes back.
Where Your Green Eyes Grow – March 11, 2020
Your green eyes Are what I remember Lost In the forests I’ve wandered The wildflowers Still bloom But you Are not here to see them I follow the rocky path Stepping on stones Feeling the cold waters Rush between my toes Flirting Distracting me From finding you ~~~ If I could only Return To where … Continue reading Where Your Green Eyes Grow – March 11, 2020
No Words – March 31, 2020
I can’t I just can’t I’ve tried And I’ve tried Over until I cried All I do is sit And catch my tears That hold these fears I swallow And I drink To do it Again...and again...and again...and again... And again...and again...and again... And again...
Hearts – March 17, 2020
The street light screams At the emptiness below Holed up An invisible war Lying down our fancy For others not able Kindness rings Our windows sing And rooftops emptied In a glorious Sound Unearthed By what lies Invisible within Each of Our hearts
In the Wind – March 29, 2020
Blow me away Pick me up And take me with you Don’t ever set me down Take my breath And use it to your pleasure Feed my soul Empty my heart Blow me away Fast and furious In the wind I’ll go with you... Anywhere
Breaking Point – March 25, 2020
My eyes cry Toward the sky Fleeing The everlasting feeling Of turning It off What seems so simple So direct Has blurred Past an invisible line As we approach The breaking point
Second of Awareness – March 15, 2020
Just past the hill Where the shadow falls The bed runs dry The grasses bend Under my cracked feet Landing on a cold Soft pillow Fresh My senses Awoken From their slumber I ingest everything Surrounding me Stopping And gulping A deep breath Starved For the energy Given to me In this Second Of awareness
It Will – March 14, 2020
Chomping and chomping Nothing else to do Sitting and waiting Scouring for something To ease the tension More and more Building Climbing Coming down For just a second To return higher Than I left Too much Filling And stuffing Blowing and blowing Until the bubble Just Pops
