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

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

Talking to you…4/14/20

PARTS AND PIECES Tree Hammock I remember it was cold, burning cold. There might have been snow on the ground. The wind was blowing, I can still feel the sting against my cheeks. Over the years the picture has faded, but the feelings have remained. Finding shelter was my first priority. As a child my … Continue reading Talking to you…4/14/20

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

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

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

A Dreamlike Awake – March 14, 2020

I stepped over the uprise Between the out and the in I came to a surrounding That hypnotized me I couldn’t catch my breath The sound was silence Stunned into oblivion It was everything I couldn’t imagine All my desires Of dreams Had come true I listened in the illusion I know it must be … Continue reading A Dreamlike Awake – March 14, 2020

A Brief Moment – March 6, 2020

Cracked and crazy The vibe I ride Juicy and dripping Rung dry and Swimming In its own puddle Locked and loaded Ready to spit Bringing the fire A vengeance Not needed In the least Except for The feeling It spared For Just One Second
