Oh! How I despise dawn’s blushing optimism
and dried hydrangea blooms sepia skinned and papery thin.
Humdrum hands beat doldrums drum.

Why won’t the summer solstice light this darkness?
A gnawing hollow where my heart should be.
Where cinder clouds float in negative space
memories collect like nesting sparrows beneath eaves.

I stray, a waif lost with my armful of loss.
Your death...

A Vulnerable Existence

The world revolves round and round,
its direction, one way, future bound.
No matter where, what, when or how,
it followed that path, from the past until now.

Each person a footprint on the world as it revolves,
living for survival as the future unfolds.
Like a life line through our existence to an unknown place,
the momentum of...

It has happened again,
your true feelings are once more exposed
Vulnerable
Out in the open,
where your heart can be attacked
Anxiety ridden,
palpitations increase
Got an overwhelming urge to flee,
and go hide
Hide your vulnerable heart
Put it safely under lock and key
Blow after blow,
hurt after hurt,
has made you wary of anyone having true 
interest in you
Particularly that of a romantic nature
Do...

How can I sever wolf-waves from the selfish sea?
I ache to cut the rogue from the relentless flow
his crest —swelled in high rise on testosterone tide—
swindles my tease to tame his blue Neptune flame
mocking my sun dried bed with unruly despise
he rides a white steed in petulant power with the moon

I am the passive strand...

I feel safe in a rhyme.
With a rhyme you can
Close off a thought,
Tie up loose ends....

What little breath I have left is being spent
choking on tears that I have held for too long.
But a lid keeps me shut in here
in a glass jar
where she locked me away.

She collects broken dolls
and stores them where
their souls pour out and fill up their containers.
She, who claims her victims, stares down at me
Without her,...

vulnerable people
easily hurt
quick to show feelings
unfamiliar with wall building
protect self in no way
naively believe everyone
lovingly giving third and thirteen chances
wanting to believe the best always
easily hurt, easily betrayed, easy to fool
idealistic, loyal, true blue 
Vulnerable people
I cannot get enough of you...

the world’s on pause
holding its breath
while heroes
work their magic
they’ll find a cure
of that we’re sure
but things never to be the same
our innocence
and vulnerability
both took a catastrophic hit

your zest for life is your edge
explore and enjoy

(Maverick Free Verse about a true life Maverick)

hey, Mr. Editor, you got it wrong
labeling Allen West as Congress’s “Most Vulnerable”
     misnomer
     insult to his character
 
ambush of American troops planned
Colonel West fired shots near an Iraqi prisoner’s head
     information obtained, ambush prevented

What a beauty you are!
In this very life, my life!
Oh vulnerable woman!

In your fertile womb,
Precious little life,
What a beauty you are!

Lovely soul takes life bids,
Without hesitation,
Oh vulnerable woman!

Without your weakness,
You would not offer love,
What a beauty you are!

Selfless is your existence;
Yielding self to a small one,
Oh vulnerable woman!

Your delicate body gifted life,
And life gives peace...

My  Heart is the strongest muscle in my  body,
but emotionally and mentally,
it is the weakest and most vulnerable
of all the muscles.
It makes me feel lonely
and yet in love at the same time.
The heart fools me into thinking
you were actually in love with me,
yet in reality it was never meant to be.
Love is fickle...
