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
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
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

Even when we feel alone, we are surrounded.
Within – March 16, 2020
There are times I have no words To send drifting down this river. But instead I turn within, and Find myself ruminating In its understated beauty.
The Unknown – March 14, 2020
Will this be the same, when we wake up?
If I Fall Apart – March 7, 2020
If I fall apart Will you hold me together... Take my hand And quench my thirst Your smell I’d follow Anywhere Wrapped around Protecting The sun will shine Roses will grow The sea waves Crash And pull Us out Into the rip tide You and I will Sit atop our world Laughing and crying Because … Continue reading If I Fall Apart – March 7, 2020
Talking to you…Killdeer 3/8/20
I heard a Killdeer this afternoon. I saw a lady bug crawling on my windshield. The breeze huffed through the trees, then died down, and again. I stopped and looked up at the lady bug, once. She was still. I think she was holding on. Of course, she was a she. Duh. And now she’s … Continue reading Talking to you…Killdeer 3/8/20
