Summer Sonnet: River-WomanAwakened! I returned a stream in Spring
to flow and grow on nature’s snowmelt milk.
I came to be of earth and sky (...a fling),
my sire a winter storm. Like liquid silk
emerging, I was born; a water-child.
Between two banks I nestled with my dreams
and bloomed a gAnGLy creek ‘til solstice. Wild
I played— not meek but sleek....

What Immigrants Really WantCome out of the darkness, stand in the light.
Speak from your heart and give us insight.
Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey.
Saying you care and you’ll give us your money.
Offer instead, a small thread of hope,
A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope.
Shore up our borders, build a great wall,
Help the murder and theft...

Always LosingIn a café’s hush, two lovers as pawns,
at dawn’s closed gate before it dawns.
They clutch a paper, creased and thin,
their vows on trial for breathing sin.
The soldiers come with boots of dust,
their eyes demand, “Obey or trust?”
A ring means little, papers less,
they weigh our love in bitterness.
Her scarf is blue; she pins it tight,
a hidden...

songs on the radiohelp.
the song, the lyrics, the music.
its burning, my hearts on fire.
listening to it makes me think of your words
sitting in your car singing "ill always love you"
you lied...
you turned the radio in my heart off
you took my heart and the left, left like we didn't love each other
like the memories left your mind.
you're not...

ScaryDraw in a deep breath
And boom your voice through my skull
You scare me to death
But there's never a day that's dull
Tell me you're sorry and things are going to change
Well they'll change tomorrow baby not today
Then tomorrow you slam the door against my face
Wipe off the blood and tell...

Locked AwayWalking across
a college campus
classes done till Fall
I hear those lessons
never taught
on winds that truth recalls
The questions that we
used to prize
now locked away in files
To favor dogma’s
jagged edge
— in deaf self-serving bile
(Villanova University: July, 2025)

REDEMPTIONEvery tribe, a savior
That's why we have
Different religion
Every person, a choice
That's why everyone
Has who they endowed.
Every time or season
Someone is risen
Base on some reasons
To liberate his or her people
So they don't live in bondages
Suffering from past ancestral mistakes.
If you don't wake up
You'll always initiate
Break ups
Because...

TessJust now I’ve met somebody beaux,
whom I perceive to truly glow
—(oh! anxiety—oh! fitful fret!)—
Somemany beaux (just now I’ve met!)

O’! Fitful fret! O’ Anxiety!
for outfits worn—For, mask and mark
of gaiety has flicked a spark
to illumine a free soul born
for mask and mark, for outfits worn,
and who’d begun “woman”.—Hu(man?):
A free soul...

Pandora’s BoxYou are a prisoner of your own mind,
Chained within a cell,
That binds your thoughts,
And conceals your head.
Fragile, hidden, perfectly eclipsed,
Your mind lacks the fortitude,
It needs to be left in.
You speak without pride.
Without light, without voice.
Your words lack connotation,
The way your mind lacks grace.
In sorrow, in numb,
You are all you did not want.
So, you remain in...

NobodyMy poems do not have
a face and voice --
I sign them, Nobody, by choice.
As Emily suggested -- no difference
in blue and red? They are both
colors, and all are God – so,
Nobody, is my humble pod…
Content being, Nobody~ in the greater
fold of God....

It Will Be BeautifulWhen I don't understand I look to you for words to speak,
And every time it brings me to my knees,
What I cannot describe yet know inside,
Leaving me speechless, making me cry,
Do I need an explanation or validation,
What if it is just love without expectation,
You brought me here in this place,
To create that freedom and space,
And...
