“Chirpy-chirpy-chirp-chirp-chirp,” catches my ear, wakes me up. Yes, I’ve been awake, but not like this for many days. “Chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp…” this conversation goes on. Makes me smile. Best part of my day? My best self, my innermost has been tapped …sappy …happy …maybe today will be a hoot I hope this is the root of the whole healing I need. Yesterday, Dad in aphasia no worries, lasts but a moment, but my leg’s been a drag...

Fly Away, Bird
The swish of heaven glimpsed beneath in girl's Winter eyes — this solo bird, she's large seen by blue. She beats me, with her song — memory streaks the air childhood, womanhood with her song, she beats on me. I also have wings, heartbeats. Beneath my ruin, feathers. We chase feathers — The bird say Winter's shadow where branches once spoke her tongue — she never lifts off...

What is the shore without the sea Aimlessly wondering watery dreams Deferred desolate depressed empty Is how I am without love in me That one true love for which one is blind Without it there is darkness blackest of times Is like a blue bird without a heart song No white wind of romance to carry it on Without love there is nothing...

Toss a Smidgen
Toss a smidgen To a pigeon And you know he’ll eat it, Though once fed A crumb of bread, You can’t get him to beat it. Still, what’s worse And worth a curse Are seagulls if you’re snacking, For I’ve found When food’s around, They sometimes try attacking. My advice – You’ll pay the price By tempting those with feathers, For they know Where humans go, There’s food in any weathers. ...

Fly, fly away… When I feel stuck, I just want to fly, fly away, like a caged bird finding a way to escape being trapped, to coo, chatter that all it want to do … Fly, fly away! ...

I can’t rid of the bags under my eyes The crowfeet despise, all were lies, Conjured was an illusion of you Throughout my groping confusion evasive, flimsy A-m-o-r-p-h-i-c, innuendos I was subjected to your derision dissing me relentlessly deriding my appearance, disparaging my intellect as I stumbled and fell into the abyss Mocking doesn’t suit my countenance My lips desert dry, thirsty, parched An amazon...

Breezy, break away free bird, as free as easy as the wind wanderess go onward ~ through life~ with an incessant need to find solace and meaning back in god’s grace It’s penetrating places you roam and journeyed from Free bird, without a home, without your flock Once wings spread across golden honey horizons then held still on a dock Cries o’er the retched waves drenched in its...

Freedom is a bird with broken wings in the modern world, trapped in invisible cages of indifference, Reflecting destiny as a silent shadow, the immutable aspects of existence embrace us with cold arms, Death, an artist of limits, carves the boundaries of our lives with the chisel of relentless time, Each human being becomes a prisoner in their...
