SSRI

Why do I have to choose between a pill for my sanity and my sexual desire? 
I don’t want to feel ashamed for going weeks or months with no desire. 
I want to be affectionate. 
I want to be intimate. 
I want to want.

Two Pink Lines

Do you remember how excited you would get when you were about to test? Do you remember thinking that maybe if you didn’t look at it till the timer rang, it might be positive. 
Thinking two pink lines meant happiness. Negative after negative, one after the other, month after month. But pain and disappointment still

Fibromyalgia

First pains
It’s all in your head 
Be active they said 
Remain positive instead
Overlooked by many
Medication, plenty
Your body aching 
Assistance dog training 
Life’s changing 
Goals become smaller 
Inside I am screaming 
Another disorder

How To Disappear Without Dying

Step one
Smile like stitches not for joy
Just tight enough to hold you in
The kind of smile that never aches
But keeps your mouth from spilling

Step two
Speak after everyone has left
Let words fall where no one looks
Your voice belongs to empty rooms
Where no one asks or stays too long

Step three
Move quiet through morning fog
Become the blur behind

This Body

Sometimes I think I put on the wrong body
Sometimes I think I put the body on wrong

Lines in the smile

Lines in the smile 
By-Dominique smith

365 days make a year, those days swear are sincere, you choke on your drink at joke you just made caught you off guard. It would really make you think, would those 365 days be hard to break? While youre on the brink of tears the world still rotates. Holding

SHE IS MY MUSE

She is my muse
The gentle pause after a long thought
The spark that breaks the silence
When words refuse to come.

Her face
A stanza unfolding
Her body
A sonnet in graceful motion.

There’s something in her smile
Like dawn’s first light
After the darkest night
Clearing the fog in my mind.

She is my muse
My refuge when all is lost
When language falters and falters
She is

The Dreaming

(“And Dream of Sheep”, 2018, original encaustic)

The Dreaming

At our core we’re all the same
An awareness being in a world of confusion
Good/bad, happy/sad,
Distracted/focused, lost/found
Each of us wrapped in layers
Trying our best to express ourselves
Within the superficial 
Caught like a fly in a web
Sleep walking through thick air
Paddling upstream endlessly
A marriage of body and soul
For better or

Fall Years Are Beautiful

My beautimous man is my favorite visual treat.
Times staring at him are times I often repeat.

His blond tendrils hang down, outside his do-rag,
and are curls my fingers just have to twirl and grab.

Fierce, piercing blue eyes allow his gaze to melt me,
happens all the time and never do I ever mind.

The rich pay surgeons for

Beneath

Here I am.
Everywhere we were.
Capillaries fill with her,
rotting roots beneath trees,
feeding truth in buried leaves.

Frozen

" As I inhale the air with the gentle pressure my lungs could create
When the path to my inner self it trace
When I stay still, standing
Staring at the leaves clapping themselves to the wind
Mesmerizing me,
Rustling it's way towards me, setting me ready for a emotional voyage

Halting its feet, With amazement this ticking crocodile observes me
With

On The Inside

If beauty is but skin deep,
I prevailed upon her to construe,
'Does it lie in the eye of the beholder
or, of the two which one is true?'
For we can't judge the book
by the cover, with but one look,
as what's inside truly counts
far much more than that.
And tho' to me she bemoaned,
'I am big-boned'
I've yet to see

SUMMER STORM

As the warmer temperatures rise
Suddenly storms comprise
Sun faded
Winds blew mightier
Cluster of Clouds gathered
Darkened skies got darker
Lightning bolts after lightning bolts were streaking here and there
Rain poured unmeasurable
Thunder spoke
Humility came to a brief end in cool
Refreshing soak
Storm passed
Brief and swift
Damp ground
Quickly dried
Summer storm
Many more to follow 
Summer fun
Never outdone
