You more and longer

Any Obsessed Fan
Seeing their faces and hearing their voices,
Keeping track of their whereabouts, all the places,
Gossiping and commenting about their life and choices,
Plastering pictures of them all over your walls,
If you had their number, you'd make dozens of calls,
You love to devour any hot news,
Everyone has his or her muse.

Not a Secret Any More
"Each setback is a stepping stone, to a joy I have not yet known, so I can measure my success, it's fair, by the adversity it took to get me there."

Any given moment, any given time
grief is a complicated feeling; it doesn’t always hold the
loss of something. But in some cases, in my case, it’s the quiet ache of dread, the feeling that encapsulates quiet certainty of impending loss, something that means more to you than anything, that in the here and now, is still with you.
Yes, you may

no title wotk in progress any suggestion
Just how could no one, not understand this
Why is the world so full of uncaring greeds
Will we ever realise the earth more than this
It can always provide everyone's own needs
What we leave behind tomorrow is our choice
Sharing the earth bounty should be the choice
Was there ever a reason to steal this land
There's too much that

A Name By Any Other Arose
Native Americans call me 'Paleface'
'Roundeye' say the Chinese race
to a Scot I'm a 'Sassenach' 'Boyo' to those in Wales
altho' a 'Limey' in New York
I answer to none such hails
once a 'Gweilo' in Hong Kong Down Under was a 'Pom'
you may give a dog a bad name (and/or a bone)
he may even be your (best) 'Pal'

no explanation for any of this
no separation
not explained
not explainable
can be obvious
dissolving absent
handholds

not being that
not being this

that and this

what is not lost
a seeker's shock

I Am Not Immortal Any More
I used to think I was made of saltwater and wire,
the bones humming with the permanence
of myth.
I stood naked in the mirror—
a girl with the face of her mother,
but none of her death in her yet.
I thought I could outlast sorrow,
that heartbreak would crack
and pour out of me like yolk
without taking the shell.
But now, when

Is there any place you do not work
My sister and I are identical twins
There is a bond that is unbreakable
We share the same face, same laugh, same mannerisms
Our hands move in similar if not identical ways when we talk with them.
Our laugh is infectious; people cannot believe it.
But we also have a mode that is a silent laugh.
I have never had it

As poet, I never said I was any good
As poet, I never said I was any good.
If you think I did, you've misunderstood.
I only said that between me and Shakespeare,
there's only one winner-take-all there.
And I left it up to you to guess who.

A Dare to Any Husband
This year for an anniversary gift
I gave my wife, with no little courage,
a check for a permanent facelift.
Exploding in rage and shouting,
she said a check was insulting,
her voice muffled in her cleavage.

COMMUNITY CONVERSATION
Some say crucify him
Many said enslave him
Others said neglect him
Few said let's hear from him
They never wanna listen to his messages.
Some say let's rectify him
Many said let's edify him
Others said let's glorify him
Few said no let's nail him
Now some can relate
But they don't want his rule.
He's always prepare
Ready to fight for his right
Defending his personality

On any ground
When you’ve been subjected to violence, scars and bruises tell.
When you’ve been subjected to violence the mind doesn’t trust people that well.
When you’ve been subjected to cruelty the scars don’t necessarily show.
When you’ve been subjected to cruelty the internal bruises can grow.
Finding ways to deal with… why!
Why do I react like that?
Why do
